Yeah, this guy:

Loyalty to Tide cost him his first marriage.

Yikes: "They showed a picture of Bear Bryant, and my grandfather said, 'That's one of the greatest men to ever walk this earth beside Jesus Christ and General Robert E. Lee.'"

Davis: "Through UA, Bear Bryant, and Van Tiffin, I have found God."

All rightee then. Pardon us, but we'll be heading back to planet earth now....

Westerdawg: Blame UGA Loss on the Cherrishinkis

Oh I see...Georgia's loss to Tennessee is Alabama's fault. So Messr. Westerdawg claims...

I refer to the Great Cherrishinksi Excuse.

Cherrishinkis of course are the flavorful (some would say disgusting) combination of cocktail and finger food known in certain other sectors of the South as Bama Bombs, and introduced to the wider world care of a certain mind-bogglingly brilliant book about sports fans.

Anyway, throwing karma and self-respect to the wind, some Georgia fans got it in their heads to whip up their own version of Bama Bombs and to name it after a behobbled quarterback.

Then they ate them, or as we say in Alabama, et em.

The result? Georgia actually started to look like Alabama on the football field, squandering a second half lead and losing to a huge rival.

Let this be warning then to all fans out there who would go messing with the cosmic alignment of team-themed cocktail potions. You might get more than you bargained for.
