RBR Celebration Thread

You are like Kleinfeld in Carlito’s Way except you don’t use coke.

While there may not be any evidence of coke use, there is likewise a lack of evidence to the contrary.

/does his best Pete impression.

followed up by the Feats of Strength

Bamagrad: A fellow degenerate as far as I can tell (bets on the only action of the night) I enjoy your insight.

NLS: Cracks me up to no end. Never misses a TWSS moment or an opportunity to insert a movie quote.

Kleph: Loves the history of the game as much more than I do, and that’s saying something.

Spock: The most displaced of us all, yet still finds the time to contribute, and contribute well. Props.

Bammer: A friend to the noobs when no one else will call them out accordingly.

Todd: of all the site managers out there, you’re one of them, and I’ll never forget that.

Nico: Shares my passion for international soccer. World Cup coverage was on time and appreciated.

BR07: Love the insight and wit.

Comer: Where are you?

Love this site! It’s the reason I bought a Blackberry (just couldn’t get enough from my desktops at work and home).

Since when did I become an Italian actress? /excusetopostthispicture:

Todd – Sstrangely, much more mature than I am, considering we are exactly the same age. I think I use all my maturity up during my day job, so I rely on Todd to set boundaries at RBR. Plus very hard working.

Nico – I admire his levity and willingness to try new/different things.

OTS – Smart as hell. Period. As BG said, best analytical mind out there…

Pete – an ass, but he is our ass. Even though we disagree, I still respect the stubborness and willingness to stick by his guns. He is probably a teddy bear in real life.

Kleph – helluva guy, helluva writer. Very level headed but also extremely passionate. Bestow your wisdom on us, great one…

Spock – My boy. Coolest, most laid back and loyal friend anyone could ask for.

BamaVicki – I love me some Bamavicki, although we never get to hang out when she is in Ttown. Awesome person.

LilSis – very much the same. Like a KISS song.

Bamagrad – Not enough nice things to say about Chris Cap…er, BG. So I’ll do it mathematically in a language he would understand: [John Rambo + John McLaine(Chevy Chase/Darth Vader)+Robert Deniro(squared)] = BamaGrad. It’s actually more complex but I can’t put statistical variable nominals in this damn application.

Bammer – My favorite Ginger. Ever. Also very passionate and diverse.

CaptStu – (in best Denzel from Training Day impersonation), “Capt Stu, My [brother]”

Stuck in the Plains – living the life. Much respect.

TopDaddy – More levity, but with a bit of sarcasm.

Zoltar – one minute can be a calming influence, next can be right in the mix of things. Hates orange as much as I do.

5026 – I like to think of Mel Gibson from “The Conspiracy Theory”, but not crazy. Maybe Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon kinda crazy. Yeah, that’s it. He is the counterbalance to our Crimson Kool-Aid, except when he is passing it out Jim Jones style.

NLS – Dude. Calls it like he sees it. PIMP.

1. Todd a very benevolent dictator and destroyer of trolls
2. OTS is my favorite writer and I feel he knows what I’m thinking. (Get out of my head dammit!)
3. Nico lover of Nick Cave’s music and random very little known music.
4. Kleph (The boychin wonder) = to great writer and commentator (Especially if he is pissed). Love this guys articles.
5. Pete = very good writer and master of minutia.
6. Matt Dover = I can’t comment but if you are a junta you must be pretty cool

Now on to us regular folk

1. Stuck in the Plains = An over educated, Native American, dick joke telling, history master, degenerate lawyer, and testicle twaddler. So my favorite kinda guy and RBR brother. (I am sort of all of this minus the testicle twaddling)
2. Spock = to one of the coolest dudes on the interwebs. However, he listens to too much Hip Hop.
3. BamaGrad = To one of the most pure football minds on this site. Forget stats, this man speaks from the heart and the trenches. Also, any man who took the field wearing a Crimson Jersey for the Crimson Tide gets some mad respect from me.
4. Lilsis = keeper of the faith and making sure us Bama fans are on point
5. Queen = I fear, I will not do her justice by my comments
6. Bix = up there in the Spock cool range and must be the fastest thinker and typer in all of RBR fandom. His posts hurt my head and make me laugh at the same time.
7. Bammer = His 30 things are still running Bammer4 hiesmansss
8. Peyton= to my dream girl if she is indeed a woman (LOL) Beauty and Brains along with being a better college football picker than me.
9. Thomas Walker Esq. = my typical feelings for a lawyer. Part of me loves his posts and part of me hates his posts
10. Bamagirlinvegas = to a kindred soul and a lover of great music. Defender of the Crimson Tide faith.
11. Carrottop4= my favorite redheaded stepchild. You make me laugh so I won’t beat you.
12. Sburton305 (something like that) = You only made one post my friend but it was the bestest post evah. I hope you return one day, to fill our hearts with joy once again.

So in the style of Mr. Burton;

 No ones can hang with the RBR big bois. There are menny menny other posters who I enjoy have spoke two. 5026, zoltar Mr. 1965 something, tcbv4 something, darthsaban, and forth so. You already know me, yet I have menny menny more RBR friends too make. You do the Meth (Math).

Roll Tide Roll!

But I’ve come on this board to read for quite a while. I think this is the best place to come for up-to-date Bama info. I also get a ton of laughs from here so it’s a double-win.

The mods and writers of this board are top notch. The thoughtful analysis and beautifully composed articles/posts are a real pleasure. Especially these days when the main stream media has effectively given up. Folks like OTS, Todd, Kleph, Nico, Pete, et al, will be around toting the information torch long after the newspaper world is dead.

The ‘regulars’ here provide that feedback, humor, and additional analysis/viewpoints that make it that much more interesting (I won’t list you folks, because I’d forget someone and then feel bad so if you are reading this YOU are probably on this list) . Again, without this ability to interact you would just yell at it and throw it in the garbage can like we do the paper. (Have you seen a Montgomery Advertiser sports section lately…? ugh). I’ve definitely enjoyed the back and forth on here and will probably continue to attempt to contribute in my own small way.

Thanks to all!

Roll Tide!

P.S. Now that I’m back in B’ham, do any of you folks get together in the area to have a few beers once in a while (B’ham, Montgomery, T’town )? I’d love to meet some of you in person. RTR!

Celebration Thread:

GAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY.

/bitter about lack of time to contribute more regularly

Todd- your ability to drop the ban hammer yet do it with humor is in inspiration…

OTS- i enjoy your “negative” side of Bama football. With so many kool aid drinkers its nice to have a reasonable approach be present.

Nico- Very down to earth type of guy. Knows weird but good music and always brings great insight…

Matt- You don’t usually partake in the daily commenting so i really don’t know you…but your insight on Bball is great. We need more balance in our UA sports coverage…

Kleph- your $10 words make me feel stupid.. but in a good way….

Pete- You have improved my ability to debate by about 100,000%. I rarely lose arguments anymore…so thanks for that.

NLS- my sarcastic friend..Whenever i need to LOL i go searching for your posts.

BR07- I love your random angry posts…and dammit for the 10000 time..im not a ginger.

Tempe- I will never forget your epic “embarrassing admissions” post..it haunts my dreams to this day.

Bamagrad- Your knowledge of how to actually play the game of football is always refreshing. I dont get your love of the Big Lebowski. I have never seen it and that is probably why we aren’t as close as we could be ;)

Carrotop4- you are the true ginger on this blog..so yeah..Your sarcasm is well timed and usually spot on.

StuckinthePlains- My gameday buddy. You always seem to be on RBR..Do you ever sleep? Also, I know a hell of a lot about the political scene in Hawaii thanks to your tweets…Plus i envy the shit out of for living on the Big Island.

5026- i love your level headed approach to Bama football. You and OTS sure know how to bring us out of the clouds..

Spock- the official badass of RBR. Your ability to bring the.gif is amazing.

Thomas Walker- we share the same last name. So i like you.

All the laaaadddieesss on RBR- you are all great and the female perspective is much needed at times. Cause you know..guys will be douche bags..

Chinesedentist- i don’t get your name but your knowledge of alcoholic beverages never cease to amaze me…

Peyton- i have a mad RBR crush on you..thats right..i said it..

To all the newbs i have forgotten- you’re all my boys/ gals..you know it..i know it..

I see I forgot Bo and Thomas… Doing it at work and accidebtly deleted

OTS: You’re too negative sometimes but that’s just my own opinion. And that’s needed around here, especially with all of us over-optimistic folk. Awesome articles and analysis.

Kleph: Kinda the same thing with you. Your knowledge makes me feel stupid but I’ve always considered myself a little dumb anyway. Also a great writer and your world travels have definitely helped me out.

Todd: I guess you could say you’re the RBR principal. You bring out the paddle when needed but also let us have pizza parties when we’re good. I like that you’re level-headed and even if we might not like the same type of women, I love that we both enjoy the beauty of them so much that it must be shared.

Nico: Sometimes I think we’re on the same wave length. You’re low-key and play the background and that’s exactly how I am. Definitely someone I could see myself chilling with in the real world. Your love of music is equal if not greater than mine. Awesome person. Can’t say enough.

BR07: I like abbreviating your name, haha. You’re definitely a great friend to me. You hooked me up not once but twice when I was in Bama and even opened up your home to me and my cousin. Awesome man with great character. I really wish you woulda come to the Furnace with us but maybe some other time. If you wanna come out to Europe anytime, let me know.

bammer: I didn’t know you were a ginger til 2 days ago so I might need to rethink all this. Your passion is second to none and you drop F-bombs as much as me which is sometimes rare around here. I love your lists and your ability to give people the benefit of the doubt.

TWesq.: I don’t really get into your lawyer shit, but your intelligence definitely shows in your comments. You’re also fucking hilarious and can make me laugh with just a few words. You jumped in a little bit when RBR got troll attacked and that was awesome. And the fact that your avy is you in a suit is the shit.

Bix: YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN. I feel like you deserve a reality show. But that show would get cancelled after 6 eps because THE WORLD CAN’T HANDLE YOU. I feel like you never type and just dictate everything to your computer and it somehow knows how to type the exact way you speak. But actually, you prolly just have a hot girl whose only job is your personal stenographer. And she follows you around in skimpy lingerie so you can communicate your crazy, passionate feelings to all of us on the interwebs. Also, you do this while wearing a robe and playing a guitar (Zero Effect, anyone?). RBR is dead without you. We MUST meet someday. It’ll be double rainbows and unicorns all day.

GTO: Great guy. I love your love for you car and the fact that you hafta point out that it’s not orange. It’s not, right? We have some similar interests and if you have the time someday, I could show you some hip-hop that might make you change your views.

LittleSis: I like that I’ve been able to chill with you in real life although it’s definitely not enough. I remember when Vicki was on here every day and you rarely commented but I like how you’ve come in and rear naked choked the site. You’re funny and sweet and prolly the most passionate Bama fan on here…at least the loudest.

Queen: Another awesome woman whom I’d love to clink glasses with after a huge Bama win one day. You’re clever and honest and seem to calm us crazy boys down whenever we get too rowdy. But to be honest, I know you can be just as wild.

SitP: Dude you and I seem to have nothing else to do but comment on here. I see that we put RBR before a lot of things in our lives and I appreciate that about you. Nothing better than peer pressure. Your thread comments are hilarious and fucking awesome. I hope to be keeping up with you for a long time. So, LET’S DO WORK.

chinesedentist: Thanks for the Red Stripes and being fucking funny. One of the nicest RBR heads and I apologize about the Kevin Smith comment. I actually meant it as a compliment, haha.

NLS: Just like Stuck, you comment waaay too much but I love it. I feel like there’s a little circle of us that post constantly and you’re definitely the leader. Keep posting the madness and keep making me laugh. LET’S GET THIS.

Ok this shit is ridiculous. I know I’m forgetting some cats but it’s too long already. RBR is awesome and I don’t know where I’d be without it. Thanks for welcoming me since jump street with my crazy post about trying to hire Norm Chow as HC (Samsonite? I was waaay off). To all the commenters, thanks for putting up with me and not getting to offended by my language. I love all y’all and hope to keep doing this for awhile. Peace…

…that I’ve been posting with most of y’all for so long that you’ve all taken on tv/movie character visages in my head (also thanks to Kleph’s epic “RBR movie thread” from a while back). I find the men around here dashing, and the ladies fabulous, so you all look like the cast of Friends, Oceans Eleven and Top Gun (you military fellas make me swoon) to me.

Can’t wait for the opportunity to meet y’all at Egan’s someday.

in the summer of 2009 and I regret not finding this site sooner. lol It’s seriously the best Bama site on the planet. I love the sarcasm and hilarious comments. I love the gamethreads here because you never know what you’re gonna read in those. lol I won’t list names but there are a lot of great posters on this site.

this week (left as soon as we dispatched UT) and I do not take a lap top on such trips. So, I’m too late for this thread.

But I will say this…I really like reading just about everyone who post regularly on this site and I think Bamagrad pretty much summed it up most fo the regulars. I especially like Pete because I only wish I could argue as effectively. And OTS, for not actually being a coach, has the best football mind anywhere.

By the way…some of the people who write here are realy, really, funny. I mean this is better entertainment to me than most things on TV.

but i’m gonna!
