The Big Announcement

by Nico2.0 on May 15, 2008 2:34 PM CDT

You want THE announcement, you've got it!

I'm at work right now so I can only give you the abbreviated version (since I don't want to be busted slacking at work), but the reason there has been a lower volume of posting around here lately (besides school and work for everyone) is that we've been working on a book about our beloved Crimson Tide that will hit bookstore shelves later this summer, just before the season starts (probably sometime in July or early August.) For those of you not in Alabama, we have been told it will be available nationally at some bookstore chains. Once we get all of that info, you all will be the first to know.

It will be 112 pages of full color Crimson Tide-ness for your reading pleasure.

It still isn't completely finished yet (it's almost there though), so we can't tell you the full list of contributors or all of the details, but I think you all are really going to love it.

We hope eveyone now understands why things have been slower than usual lately.

If we autograph yours...

...then we’ll have to autograph everyone’s, and we just don’t have that many pens!

i look forward to seeing RBR in book format, that way i can let my pops in on why the “series of pipes and tubes” is so rad.

I noticed that your a Chivas USA fan. How’d you choose them?

Have you see this picture of Morrissey in a Chivas USA jersey?

by Nico2.0 on May 15, 2008 3:10 PM CDT up 0 recs

chivas

I grew up in the phoenix area and have been involved in some local human rights campaigns, long story short, Chivas USA is the only club that eschews white american fans and soley targets central and south american emegre’s for it’s fanbase. I dig that underdog approach to marketing for a MLS team. and also beckham is an overrated d-bag, and being from Phoenix i need to root for a team nearby but HATE LA teams, Chivas USA transcends the city/regional dichotomy and is instead, a team for anyone and everyone who has roots in (or just roots FOR) latino culture. (and I had free tickets to a game they played at BOB a few tears back, thats were i learned at the sociological side issues/got drunk/became a fan)

NO WAY!!

Fantastic news. I will be the first in line, guys. Way to go!

(Why RBR should have a book: Their fans know about the Moz, Chivas, &tc.)

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.

Congrats!

I’m really excited about reading it, and I’m sure y’all will do a great job.

Stocking oppertunity.

Let me know the ISBN when you get it published. I manage a bookstore in Destin so I will get it on the shelves guys. Lots of Bama fans down here.

by Destindune on May 15, 2008 3:43 PM CDT 0 recs

Will do.

I think North Florida was one of the non-Alabama markets they were going to go after fairly heavily.

My brother’s in-laws have a place in the Seaside area that I occasionally get to make use of. Next time I’m down I will pop over to Destin since I’m a bookstore fiend.

Destin...

is fabulous. It’s where my sister lives and my nieces grew up. Definitely has plenty of Bama lovers with DJ Hall and Glen Coffee being from around there and the Flora-Bama nearby. I hope the book is in VA or I’ll have to beg one of ya’ll to send me one. Did I mention my fee, Nico? Ha! Ha! Look in your email box.

by bamavicki on May 15, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up 0 recs

I sent a reply...

...and will talk to you tomorrow.

by Nico2.0 on May 15, 2008 7:02 PM CDT up 0 recs

Amazing.

Wow, school/work, managing the holy Grail of bama blogs and writing a damn book…damn yall impress me.

by BamaBob on May 15, 2008 5:53 PM CDT 0 recs

Really...

...we’re just stupid. That’s all there is to it. Nothing like over committing to get the stress going!

by Nico2.0 on May 15, 2008 7:03 PM CDT up 0 recs

Any hints

as to some specifics that’ll be in it? I’m not asking for a dead givaway, but maybe just a little bitty hint?

by SugarBowl93 on May 15, 2008 6:00 PM CDT 0 recs

I need to run it by the publisher...

...to see what is acceptable to let out early and what isn’t.

by Nico2.0 on May 15, 2008 7:04 PM CDT up 0 recs

Cool...

Another Bama book to add to my collection. Just one question can one be sent to Iraq? That’s where I will be when It comes out, and I will miss the entire season and recruiting…geez. Now it’s all sinking in. I’m glad you guys are doing this. I hope your sales go thru the roof. RTR!
