jceman 1 #1 September 27, 2006 We've all wondered how the school colors were chosen. Here's the scoop on some of them... Some Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn and Alabama fans decided that black-and-white school colors were a bit too dull. So they called upon God to give them colors that would truly represent them. First the Tennessee fans stepped before God and asked for their school's colors. God said, "When I see Tennessee, I see a great big orange sun coming up over puffy white clouds. Tennessee will be orange and white". Next the Georgia fans stood before God and asked for their school colors. God said, "I see a field of fertile black soil...from which will grow a beautiful field of red roses. Georgia will be black and red." The Auburn fans were next. God said as he patted his favorite sons on the head, "When I think of my beautiful Auburn, I see a glorious sky of blue with the bright shining orange sun shining down on my favorite town. You, my loved ones, your colors are orange and blue." God then turned to the Alabama fans and said quite hastily, "Your colors are crimson and white." Later, after the fans had left, St. Peter came to God and said, "Lord, as you handed out each fan's colors, you explained their origin-all but the Alabama fans. I'm curious. Why crimson and white? What do you see when you think of Alabama ?" "I see the same thing as you see," God said, "white trash and rednecks". Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And God saw fit to let Alabama win 12 national championships, more than the other three combined. And your point is???

Rebecca 0 #4 September 28, 2006 Sigh. The point is that Auburn colors are better than Alabama colors. (It's OK y'all - Auburn grads are used to explaining things to the Alabama folks. It just goes with the territory.) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #19 September 29, 2006 QuoteWhjat's the SEC? I had to check your profile before I came back with a snide remark... Glad I did! SEC = South Eastern Conference of college athletics. We're talking American football. SEC is also the greatest college football league in the country. There, that should get a rise out of the other conference fans...

Excellent they're not total losers they will be if Auburn doesn't lose another game. Well, Auburn can afford to lose one, so if LSU and Auburn tie with 7 - 1 records, Auburn wins the head-to-head tiebreaker and goes to the SEC championship game as the west division champ.
