There is a guy here at work who is a devout allbarn fan. I've known him for many years and he's a great man. He delivers our mail and also works full time as a waiter at a local steakhouse. For many years we've swapped jabs when his team or mine is doing poorly. Each Christmas I buy him an allbarn shirt, hat or jacket. (He's not rich by any means and I do this because I enjoy his comments about football and he is genuinely a good person )
Anyway, he took off the week after allbarn lost to USC so I didn't get a chance to rag him about that game. This morning he was making his way around the building, delivering the mail and getting blasted by all the Bama fans he knows. He finally makes it to our office. He just came in, sat down, and started to tear up. I mean real tears. I felt so sorry for him. So I just said a few things and let it go. Fans like Ernest (that's his name) take this stuff to heart. Some barner fans deserve all the crap we can throw at them. But Ernest had been barraged by Bama fans since he arrived at work this morning. The only reason I hate to see allbarn lose is because of how Ernest enjoys seeing them win. And the other barner fans in my office? In complete denial. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Devonna Snuggs Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 12:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RollTideFan] barners in my office..... While at lunch, minding my own business, a barner came into the kitchen and was telling another person in the office they needed to be on their "A-game unlike Auburn and more like Oklahoma!!!" To which I replied, "Um, I think you need to go back and check the stats again b/c I think Bama has at least scored a few TDs this year and we seem to have an offense!!" I wanted to be much uglier but I am truly am trying to show restraint. ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
