I pinched this from a Gamecock site. Apparantly written by a UGA fan. I enjoyed the read. Bring your sense of humor...

Edit: Since I can't control whatever comments folks write on the actual link, I removed the link and copied the material here...

SEC Programs as Biblical Figures

13 comments Email Print.This was originally written by Lee Kennedy, and we are posting with his permission and only slight editing. He's a friend and decent guy with the misfortune of being born and raised a Georgia fan, though I suppose Kyle would call him a DGD. His misguided allegiance should explain the vitriol for some programs and sympathetic depiction of UGa. I've provided links for any heathen Methodists or Florida fans that don't remember the stories.

Alabama - King Solomon. No matter what you have, what you accomplish, or who you become, he will insist on topping you regardless of the costs involved or who he has to step on to get there. The Old Testament Law only allowed for one wife. Solomon claimed 300. Many authorities dispute that number. Obviously 299 of them decided to transfer due to ‘medical conditions’. His 700 concubines received Grayshirts, hoping to eventually move up to wife status.





Arkansas - Moses. Wandering around up there in the wilderness/Ozarks searching for the Promised Land of an SEC Title. There's a good chance all the current followers will be dead before they actually get there.

Auburn - Judas Iscariot. One of the original members, but later proved to be deceitful and very untrustworthy. Sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver. After inflation, that comes to about $180,000.

Florida - Satan. Pure evil, incredibly arrogant, an enemy of mankind who leads you to believe he has everything you want your program to be, but will one day be cast into a lake of fire. Great Deceiver who occasionally leads astray even the most righteous. Though it has been said "the Devil wears Prada", he actually wears jean shorts.

Georgia - Job. Once very well off and prosperous while doing things the right way, now going through some very difficult times and relying on faith to carry him. Could come out on the other side better off than ever before.

Kentucky - Jezebel. Spent her entire life worshiping the false god BasketBaal and trying to deter people from the true faith.

LSU - Lot. Flourishing in the heart of Sodom and Gommorah.

Ole Miss - Cain. Never satisfied with what he has, believes he deserves much more. Carries a mark for past sins, and is jealous of his brother(s).

Mississippi State - Bartholomew. We know he was one of the 12, but we never hear about him and nothing much is ever written of him, though it is presumed he somehow managed to triumph over Satan.

South Carolina - Aaron. Brother of Moses. Assembled all of the riches in a poor area (Columbia) to erect a Golden Calf (Steve Spurrier) for the people to worship.

Tennessee - The Prodigal Son. Lived a prosperous life, but wanted much more. He was willing to sacrifice all morals to live in the bright light of the nation's eyes, even if it meant hiring Lane Kiffin. That life of luxury was not all it cracked up to be, and he fell on hard times. He came crawling back to his roots, begging for forgiveness and a return to a normal life.

Vanderbilt - Apostle Paul. Completely dedicated his life to the true gospel of the university system (academics) and is constantly beaten and abused for it.

“There is a time to win and a time to lose. Solomon” We have never been able to get that last part down right. I would just as soon we never get that last part down right.

Several years ago, somebody wrote a similar piece comparing SEC schools' football programs to countries. At the time, we were going through the dark days, and Spurrier was winning championships at Florida.

Alabama was England. Once powerful, now on hard times, but somehow always seems to maintain dignity and come back after being written off by enemies.

Florida was Germany under the Nazis. Loud, arrogant, goose-stepping their way through the SEC, making others like it.

Memory is fading, but I want to say Auburn was France, never having won anything on their own, always needing help from outside, yet whining because they don't get no respect. And it seems like Tennessee might have been the communist Russians, evil to the core, but putting on a face just good enough to fool enough people enough of the time.

I'm sure I have some of that wrong, but was a golden oldie. Anybody have a link to it?

Could it be that perhaps Bama could be compaired to Elijah (I Kings 18:21-40)...Elijah a true prophet compaired to the 450 fakes representing Baal...Elijah was able to back up and demonstrate on the "field" his claims...All the prophets of Baal had going for them was "hot air." When the smoke settled Elijah was number ONE...It's go'na happen; when the dust settles on the 2011 football season the Tide will be number ONE...:)

Hey,who ever wrote this article about the SEC programs as Bibical Figures has a pretty good grasp of scripture.

I found it entertaining. As for SEC teams as countries, I propose Alabama as Italy. Italy conquered all of western Europe and ruled over the rest of the nations for several hundred years, laying the foundations for much of western civilization. No other western European nation has ruled Europe in this fashion. No other school has dominated the SEC like Alabama has. Alabama laid the foundation for what was to become SEC football by winning the earliest champions and putting southern football on the map. When Rome fell, the rest of Europe rejoiced. Alabama seems to be listed as a rival among almost all SEC schools, and others celebrate when we lose and are down.

LSU-Norway/Sweden-home of the Vikings, rude, nasty, a little quirky and disorganized, but alot of fun and good at what they do, conquer. They will kill, rape, and pillage your village without thinking twice about it and laugh all the way to the next village.

I nominate Slive for the role of Pontius Pilate (washing his hands in the attempt to not do his job) and think AuBARN would fill the role of the Pharisees (incredibly smug and claiming to be religiously superior while completely missing the mark).:BigA:
