…canibal dictator.

you can expect mostly sarcasm in response to this post. overall, a lot of Anchorman and Big Lebowski quotes, some bickering, sunshine pumping, and when Bix posts, a lot of soul searching….

Todd = the supreme dictator
Nico = even cooled guy who knows a shit ton about music
OTS = football guru who has an odd like in movies/ music
Kleph = well hes evidently the enchanted wizard of rhythm
Pete = the know it all….who well knows a lot

Bamagrad = knows a lot about Bama history and hates the Big Labowski

5028 = doesn’t usually get caught up the shannigans and always has a well thought out comment

BR07 = douche…but seriously, great regular with always something insightful to say…we almost killed each other after the SEC CG in 08….

Tempe = hot head who gets cared away from time to time but always comes back to reality in the end. Ask him about a unfortunate time with a girl…blood and being uncircumcised (god i hope i have the right person here)

Zoltar = evidently knows a lot about sport sites and loves talking shit on rival sites….

Stuck in the Plains = all around great guy…one of my favs

chinesedentist = i have no clue where the name came from but they guy his an awesome bar keep

Nicelittlesaturday (NLS) = this guy is my sarcastic counter part….probably the funniest guy on RBR..

Spock = resident badass….nough said

Comer = resident drunk

Bix = the craziest M’fer you’ll ever read on this site or any other for that matter..

me = well ill let someone else take a stab at me…

a “joined” date….pay no mind to this. If you see a date around May 2008, thats just when RBR joined SBNation…most of us have been around much longer…

without talking about the Queen?

I started checking RBR in late 2006. I found it and Memphis Tider’s blog to be the best two sources of information regarding the coaching search. RBR has been on my bookmarks toolbar since then and gets clicked about everytime I fire up my browser. I don’t post as often as many of the other regulars, and as a result, my sarcasm is sometimes mistaken for udder stupidity (Auburn’s own brand of stupidity, not to be confused with ‘utter’ stupidity), but I’ve also never found a forum where as many obscure references are picked up easily. Win some, lose some.

On the surface I look like a 2,000 year old vampire, but in person I’m actually a very nice guy.

Who HATES Tenn and Aubarn. Most my posts are useless and get deleted…
..but I still love you. LoL

I used to avoid the blogosphere, but, I figured ’ if I cannot get along with others in my birthright’ then I have more issues than avoiding the blogosphere..besides, if you’re an Alabama fan, and you don’t read this blog….don’t start….lmao…these guys kick-ass and have been nothing but cool and insightful to me…so…there it is!

relatively speaking. I have been a member since early 2006, before the SBN merger in early 07 I believe. But here is my take on this site, which is by far not just my favorite Bama site but my favorite Internet site. I’ve probably been on here almost as long as anyone else who is not a Manager.

The website started as Nico’s baby, I believe, and Nico and Todd joined forces and it was like Darth Vader singing Baroque Pop. Seriously.

Todd – Runs shit with an iron fist. In person a super nice guy, on the Internetz he is our (not so) benevolent dictator. In Birmingham.

Nico – Cool as ice, loves Soccer and weird music. Nah he is just way more open to new shit than I am. In Birmingham

OTS – smartest MOFO I think I have ever met. But don’t tell Pete. Lawyer, and has an ungodly knowledge of football for someone who studied so much law shit.

Pete – Second smartest person I think I’ve ever met. He has two screennames, one for him and one for his ego. Nah, Petes a cool guy, and has ballz made of cast iron. Hardcore.

Kleph – Kleph is like the uncle that gets stuck babysitting all the retarded children. Kleph is my dawg. Keeps us on the straight and narrow. Keeps us – for the most part – from pulling a Dean Martin (in the gutter).

Comer4Tide – has been busy as hell so I haven’t seen him around much. Comer’s wild as hell but keeps me in stitches.

BixBeiderBeke – Holy shit. You’ll just have to see. He is also a big USC fan, so quite the paradox. But his true blood runs Crimson. He has been busy lately too, so hasn’t been on as much as I’d like.

Bammer – Zach Galafawhatever meets conan obrien. Lives in Tallahassee, misses Atlanta (sike!).

Spock – RBR resident Hip-Hop guru, super nice guy, but I fuckin’ hate him cause all the ladies think he is hot. Whatever, Josh, you ain’t that good looking!!!!

Bamagrad – Think if Rambo played football and then told Coach Fran to fuck himself, then had a baby with Chuck Norris’ daughter. WTF, Platypus? That’s who Bamagrad is, so don’t F with him, capiche?

Tempe – my favorite – FAVORITE – liberal nutjob. Nah, Tempe is a cool dude out in, uh, Tempe. I don’t hold his lefty characteristics against him, and he doesn’t do that with me and my crazy conservative viewpoints.

Nick Saban – he will own your soul. And win another championship.

Bama Vicki and LilSis – sisters, keep us in line. Can drink any of you under the table. Well, not really.

Oh, and NEVER ask about the iron bowl of 2008. Sore subject.

I actually began checking this site out daily almost a year before though. This is by far the best website I’ve ever come across! I have been a devout Crimson Tider my entire life, and I was born in Louisiana! I hate Tennessee more than any other team you can name. But like any Bama fan, Auburn, LSU and the Gators can all kiss my ass too. I don’t comment much, mostly because I don’t want to get Pete Holiday’d. But I have decided to test the waters. I fell like I know all you guys and gals and hope to be one of the crew, so here is a toast to #14! Also, I have a question. Is there anyway I can change my screen name without starting a new account? Roll Tide my friends!

Still learning how to be a model RBR citizen. But I have always been a smart ass so I fit in pretty well so far.

always forget to include our basketball-covering badass Bama07.

…Mr. Slow Hand, it’s awesome here. You should know that all of the site authors and regulars around here are pretty awesome (if incredibly sarcastic) people, and that during the season you won’t find anywhere better to celebrate being a Tide Fan. Plus the gameday threads get pretty Epic.

Also, to add to all the info above, OTS used to have his own badass blog, called OutsideTheSidelines, which had some pretty incredible football analysis. You can now read it here at RBR. And Nico, Pete and Bamagrad all have really cool personal sites.

And, though Todd is a cannibal dictator, he’s a benevolent one.

Everyone here likes to quote movies, and “That’s what she said” appears quite often.

 chinesedentist serving the hooch, Spock and Nico at the jukebox, Stuck hanging out by the women’s restroom, Bamagrad blindfolded throwing darts, and Tempe out back huffing paint in the alley, what’d I miss?

I’ve got rhyme
I’ve got the girlies with the best behind

Here to get to know mine enemy.

I’m still new here so sometimes people get confused, but no, I’m not actually Brad Pitt in a red wig.

I’ve been on al.com for ages because I’m too cheap to pay for sports news and I don’t mind laughing at trolls now and then. There actually are some decent people there, even if they frequently get overrun by idiots.

I escaped to RBR a few months ago after changes to the al.com site made it much more difficult for me to post over there. Of course the level of conversation here is refreshingly higher than over there. I’m learning that some folks here like to argue over the dumbest things sometimes (I guess that’s true no matter where you go as it turns out), but overall it’s fun and informative.

Also, I like to make dumb jokes. I used to tell people that if they didn’t like them, they could sue me. But there are way too many lawyers here on this site, so I avoid that expression now. :)

Oh, BTW, if you could spare some money, I could use about three fiddy.

should’ve saved that for an embarrassing admissions thread

and could easily be considered one of Kleph’s retarded children!

thanks to bamavicki. i am so happy to be able to commune with folks as crazy about the UofA as I am (and honestly just plain thrilled to know there ARE folks as nuts as me). since becoming one of the RBR faithful, i have spent alot of work time not working.

Like stats, making barners realize how retarded they can be when trying to discuss national championships, long walks on short bridges, a fan of movie quotes, and voted against obama. I’ve taken this off season off of posting due to real life and whatnot which evidently gets you forgotten in these parts. Love you guys!

 This blog is my crack cocaine, I get a daily hit. I secretly crush on most of the managers and authors, and I keep “Yea Alabama” next to my first edition of “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Just reading Kleph and Pete’s posts make me feel smarter by association, but for the most part I stay quiet because I live by that “It’s better to be silent and thought of as stupid than to speak and remove all doubt” rule.

And so I don’t freak anyone out/get banned over the crush/semi-stalker thing, I am female.

Well, this turned out to be a more productive thread than I thought! :)

I’ve been looking for a free website to mix it up with fellow Bama fans, but one where the conversations are at least half way intelligent.

Sarcasm? Bring it on! ;> That’s one thing I can identify with.

At my old cyberhome (now taken over by trolls), I was known as the level-headed guy, that likes occasionally, when the sports conversations are boring, to delve into the politics of the day.

But I’m afraid that compared to Nico I’m as plain as white toast.

I look forward to being sent to Todd Jail, though. :>

bammer, I’ve yet to be on any sports website that people didn’t say stupid things, but “stupid is as stupid does”, and I don’t do stupid.

And I always think before I post. Sometimes more than others, but I’m not impulsive.

If sarcasm was ALL I got here, It would get old, but sarcasm in doses is fun, and I can be sarcastic like anyone else. So don’t mistake good-natured humor for some dufus asking to be attacked.

unfortunately named fan. I’m Irish/Cherokee, red headed (and yes, the curtains and drapes all match LOL), green eyed, freckled, spitfire, beer-drinking female who met the Bear when I was a mere lass during his last year, as I watched Bama demolish Ga Tech 45-7 and was blessed to be able to shake the man’s hand after the game. I’ve bled Crimson since I was old enough to understand the concept of sports. I was raised right. :) My 12 year old daughter is taking up the lineage and nothing could make me prouder.

I’ve lurked here since 2006, had like 2 screen names and kept forgetting logins. LOL But I think I have that problem handled. I state unequivocally that I am not related to any Mannings, and Tennessee makes me itch, and that orange is certainly one you can’t sit with.

Welcome. Seriously, RBR is amazing. I keep my comments to a bare minimum because I let the pros handle the work.

and people like me keep telling you to “go back to rocky top talk!” cause we’re frequently drunk, angry, and ill tempered and confused…

I’m the new guy to the party that brings [comments redacted].

there’s apparently no love for the elder of the group. Born within days of JFK’s assassination and moving to the south (Greenbow Ozark, Al) in 1973, I’ve been a devoted Bama fan since. I remember the day The Bear died and also remember getting misty eyed and having my girlfriend wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

I joined back in 2006, took a couple of years off and returned in 2008. I want to think it was in time for the SEC Champ. game. I remember the moderator getting on to me for my great disgust with JPW at QB.

I’ve been here since at least sometime in 2007. I post some, but not as much as others do. It’s gotten really busy on here since the site really took off. I’m happy for the Mods and all the work they put into the site. It keeps me entertained and informed while deployed to crappy locations in the Middle East.

female member. I found RBR during the Shula firing and the new coach search and have been addicted ever since.
RBR is the first website I check at the beginning of my day and the last one I check at the end of my day (not to mention all the times in between….I truly have an RBR addiction)

Like some of the other members I don’t post that often but I have joined in some game day threads, they are outstanding!!!

So welcome and If you stick around you’ll become an RBR addict like the rest of us!!

RTR

It sounds like I’ll really like this group. Lots of interesting characters. And of course, you’re Bama fans, so how bad could ANY of you be?

And Bammer, and can see that you like to mix it up a little – that’s okay. I won’t call you a troll. I’m too new here to label anyone yet. (that might come later :)

And one more thing….

I said “I don’t do stupid” and fell prey to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We all “do stupid” now and then – you wouldn’t be human otherwise. I just try to keep the spells in between my stupid moments reasonably long (like at least 15 minutes! :>)

It’s hard to humble when you’re perfect in every way!

Dang, I didn’t make 15 minutes! Grrrrrrr…..

I’m happily married, so don’t take this wrong, but I really like how many female Tide fans there are on this board, either in the mix, or “lurking”.

I’m here because in 2008, Pete wrote an article on how the University of Utah could not possibly match up on the line with Alabama and I politely joined to explain to him that we had heard that previously but we’d show up for the game any old ways. Having an irrational love for my team, I recognized true sickness disguised alternately at times as genius and glandular disorder and cast my lot.

I was introduced to the Alabama fans here, and at the Sugar Bowl, and thought a group of folks this wonderful and classy needed a social anchor to drag them under from time to time so I’ve hung on. I am mostly allowed to pop up because I have a pathological dislike for Tennessee and Auburn and can’t explain why—I simply hate Auburn in its entirety (Perhaps that sack of shit Pat Dye did it) and the song Rocky Top makes me reach for a firearm and a dictionary.

Well, that and the fact that I always need a new group of folks to tell all my lies to.

Cheers mate!

and I probably spend to much time reading and posting on this site, but it is a lot of fun.

I’d like to think I know football, but I’m constantly amazed by what I don’t know. I do respect the opinon of the managers and authors on this site even though sometimes I disagree with them.

I’m older than most of guys here. I have a daughter that is a senior at Bama and I’m in Tide Pride so I to most of the games although I live in GA.

Oh yeah, I’ve been banned for being sarcastic on the LSU site. At least I thought it was sarcasim, they thought it was hate speech.
