Seven of them will be of Nick Saban crying like a bitch because Auburn has signed all his five-stars. The other one will be a montage of The Chiz starting fires in the rain and flexing, which will be set to the song "You're the Best" from <em>The Karate Kid</em>. </p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">In fact, any time The Chiz appears onscreen, it will be to the song "You're the Best" from <em>The Karate Kid</em>.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Saban will leave 'Bama for the NBA and Bammer will get put on double-secret probation<em>. </em>Then<em> </em>Auburn's problems, and world hunger, will disappear. </p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;These damn Bammers live in the past,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;These last six years, oh what a blast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They came and went, oh so fast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I knew that shit wouldn’t last&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I can’t believe we’ve been surpassed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;How, how, how did they outlast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;With recruiting classes way too vast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;John Lithgow v. Sylvester Stallone, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Cliffhanger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just the name says it all. Stallone vs. Lithgow. &lt;em&gt;Rambo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; vs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Third Rock From The Sun&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Over The Top&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; vs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Orange County&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cobra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; vs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harry and the Hendersons.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In terms of pure testosterone, and not taking into account
movie quality, this one isn’t even close. We’re talking right crosses, not
Rotten Tomatoes. And Lithgow’s high-thespian accent reeks of “I had my face
beaten in as a kid.” Whereas Stallone’s grumbly, tough guy accent reeks of “I
had my face beaten in as an adult.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Stallone v. Lithgow. This is like Schwarzenegger v. Tim
Robbins. Chuck Norris v. Dustin Hoffman. The Rock v. James Franco. &lt;em&gt;The
Godfather II&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; v. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Godfather III&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BLOW-OUT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Obi-Wan Kenobi v.

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This was a mismatch not of ability, but of age. By the time
these two titans faced off again, Obi-Wan had aged less like a Golden God and
more like Goldie Hawn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Something tells me that if black people exist in the Star
Wars universe beyond Lando Calrissian and Jar Jar Binks, they have to get their
hair cut. Hence, intergalactic barbershops. Where they probably have arguments
like this one:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

must be out yo goddamn mind! Obi-Wan Kenobi is the greatest Jedi that ever
lived. I&amp;#39;ll be with you boys in a minute. He was better than Yoda, he was
better than the Emperor, and that new dude, what&amp;#39;s his name, Luke Skywalker,
looks like an SEC frat boy, he was better than him too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:19.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin &amp;#39;bout Jedi, the Empire
got to pull Darth Vader out their ass. That&amp;#39;s their one, that&amp;#39;s their one.
Darth Vader. Darth Vader. Let me tell you something once and for all. Darth
Vader was good, but compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader ain&amp;#39;t shit.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:19.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

was 137 years old!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Ambrose Burnside v. Robert E. Lee, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;The Battle of
Fredericksburg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As if things weren’t bad enough for Ambrose Burnside for
having a name like Ambrose Burnside, he also had his teeth kicked in by a
non-existent country. Yep, at Fredericksburg ol’ Burnsie suffered one of the
most lop-sided defeats in American military history, as the Union had 12,653
casualties to the Confederacy’s 5,377.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Much like the Alabama-Auburn rivalry going forward, this was
one-sided domination by a military genius, aided by a complete incompetent
leading the other side into battle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Reports that Lee tea-bagged Burnside in his sleep the night
after the battle are as of yet unconfirmed. Multiple attempts by Gump4Heisman
to reach Burnside for comment were unsuccessful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ivan Drago, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Rocky IV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Throw in the goddam towel, Stallone. This one’s getting
ridiculous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your buddy is getting pounded like a slutty Kappa. And it’s
especially embarrassing considering that, just minutes beforehand, this same
buddy was dancing like Tom Cruise on Oprah.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Seriously, in &lt;em&gt;Rocky IV&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;
Carl Weathers gets beaten like an adolescent penis. Completely one-sided.
Anyone else ever wondered ‘How the fuck did Carl Weathers train for this
fight?’ By watching Lifetime and crying? For God’s sake, his trainer is Rocky
Balboa. How did they both let it get to the point where he not only gets
killed, he gets killed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So let me get this straight, when Carl Weathers fights
Rocky, Carl Weathers wins the first fight, and loses the second fight by one
second. Yet when Carl Weathers and Rocky fight Russian dudes, Carl Weathers
gets murdered in the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; round and Rocky wins by TKO? What the fuck?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Anyways, the scene at the end of this one =’s Carl Weathers’
corpse lying face-down on the ground. Having back spasms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Carl Weathers v. The Predator, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Predator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the 1980’s, Carl Weathers just couldn’t catch a break.
Two years after being beaten to death by a 6’5” Communist with spiked hair,
Carl Weathers runs afoul of an invisible 6’11” alien with dreads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ivan Drago? Shit, that was child’s play for Carl Weathers
compared to this one. This time around, Carl Weathers has his arm exploded –
mid machine-gun fire, mind you – by a red laser. Then Carl Weathers is impaled
by an invisible bayonet, lifted into the air, and – presumably – has his skull
and spine ripped from his lifeless body, only to be cleaned and stored in a
treehouse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ouch. I’ll take a sweaty back-spasm death any day over this
one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Carl Weathers v. the alligator in Happy Gilmore, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Happy
Gilmore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Poor Carl Weathers. It’s one thing to die in a Sylvester
Stallone movie. It’s another thing to die in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
But kicking the can in an &lt;em&gt;Adam Sandler&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;
movie? That just doesn’t happen unless you’re Carl Weathers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Most people get in an Adam Sandler movie and the worst they
suffer is critical rejection. Carl Weathers gets in an Adam Sandler movie and
gets killed by a stuffed alligator. WTF?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;List of people, since the history of time, who have been
killed by stuffed alligators: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;1)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Captain Hook&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;2)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Carl Weathers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What is it with Carl Weathers constantly losing body parts
to dark-green creatures? Something tells me if Carl Weathers were in a Jurassic
Park movie, he would have his balls clawed off by a raptor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;--------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carl Weathers:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; “I
tried to go to Auburn. But I couldn’t get the job.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happy Gilmore:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; “Why,
because you were black?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carl Weathers:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; “Hell
no, damned alligator bit my hand off!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Fun With Numbers (&amp;amp; Gene Chizik):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Gene Chizik’s career record is 5-19. That’s a pretty good
record if you’re trying to get laid, and a horrible record if you’re trying to
coach football. In 2008, Gene Chizik went 2-10. Awesome. Let’s play Fun With
Numbers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;2-10:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In 2006, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Josh Towers went 2-10
with an 8.42 ERA, one of the worst seasons by a pitcher in MLB history. In
2007, he was voted #3 on the list of worst Blue Jays pitchers of all-time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;According to baseballreference.com, he was not subsequently
offered a job at Auburn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;5-19:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In 1952, Detroit Tigers pitcher Virgil Trucks went 5-19.
After the season, he found out he had been traded. By reading it in the
newspaper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ironically, on Monday, that’s how most Auburn fans found out
they were totally fucked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Other famous 5-19’s: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 1994:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; Jackie Kennedy Onassis passes away. Coincidentally, the last time
Auburn led the head-to-head series with Alabama was in 1963, the year her
husband was assassinated in the head. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 1935:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; T.E. Lawrence, the real-life “Lawrence of Arabia,” is killed in a
motorcycle wreck. Coincidentally, 73 years later Auburn Football would be killed in a
train wreck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 1536:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal"&gt; Anne Boleyn, the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; wife of Henry VIII, is beheaded.
Interestingly, wives of Henry VIII have a higher success rate than head coach
Gene Chizik. (2-out-of-6 (33%) vs. 5-out-of-24 (20.8%)). Way to go ladies!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- If you multiply Gene Chizik’s winning percentage by four, it comes out to .832, which is 8 points higher than Paul “Bear” Bryant’s winning percentage at Alabama (.824). War Eagle!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Tommy Tuberville was fired for winning 5 games. Gene Chizik was hired for winning 5 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Nick Saban-Gene Chizik 2008 regular season win/loss differential: Saban (+12), Chizik (-8) = Nick Saban, +20.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If Gene Chizik’s winning percentage (20.8) were a person, it would not be able to legally drink.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We’re all worried.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You have to worry about the Dow Jones, you have to worry
about the economy, and now you have to worry about 5’7” workaholics getting you
fired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In September 2007, Nick Saban coached his first game at
Alabama. Flash forward 15 months, and nearly half the coaches in the SEC (5)
have been fired. Ah, “The Process.” As far as SEC fanbases go, loved by one,
hated by many.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What has happened to all these men?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What do you call it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sabanized?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Processed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Those terms don’t capture the sheer breadth of the whole
thing. This is massive. This is widespread. There is panic. There is fear.
There is Saban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We are, my friends, in the midst of &lt;span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Great Procession&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gump4heisman.com/.a/6a00e0097f224188330105363a3bc0970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="The Great Procession" class="at-xid-6a00e0097f224188330105363a3bc0970c " src="http://www.gump4heisman.com/.a/6a00e0097f224188330105363a3bc0970c-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But don’t fret. With Gump4Heisman’s handy guide to handling
The Great Procession, you’ll learn how to deal with what’s happened, how to
avoid the pitfalls, how to keep your job, as they say, “Safe from Saban,” and
how to emulate the best to be the best.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;People are dropping like flies. Is Saban going to come after
us too? Are we all doomed? Should we all head out to Californee in search of
free potato soup/internet?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Is the Post-Saban Apocalypse upon us?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do not fear. To avoid being like the men pictured above, you
can follow these simple steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;WARNING: Gump4Heisman.com offers you no safe haven from
Saban. In fact, you will probably be fired by Nick Saban 7-12 minutes after
reading this Guide to Not Being Fired By Nick Saban. This Guide simply reduces
the risk that Nick Saban is going to floss his teeth with your 401k. (Firing
Probability before reading this article: 100%; Firing Probability after reading
this article: 99.999%)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Step #1: Put “Black Wednesday” behind you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Wednesday, January 3, 2007.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Or, as the rest of college football knows it, “Black
Wednesday.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Not &lt;em&gt;The Day the Earth Stood Still&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Day The Earth Paced Frantically And Didn’t Have Time
For This Shit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The day Nick Saban was hired. The day the SEC West crashed.
The day every head coach in the Southeast had a Tony Soprano-like panic attack.
People in Auburn, AL jumping from tall buildings. People in Baton Rouge, LA
cursing the day. People in Tuscaloosa, AL having alcoholic parades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of course, many of us didn’t feel the effects of Black
Wednesday until as recently as a few months ago. But now that those stockpiles
of (blue) chips are down, now that you’ve gone through what you had left in the
tank, it has begun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The first step to moving on with your life is to put this
day behind you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Every time you think of January 3, 2007, Gump4Heisman
advises bowing your head in remembrance and - above all - staying strong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Unless you live in Tuscaloosa. In which case Gump4Heisman
advises pouring a glass of champagne and having sex with your wife.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Step #2: Beware the rise of national demagogues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Auburn, AL… listen up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Everything has crashed. We know you have reached desperate
times. Things indeed look bleak. But remember what happened in Germany. (Two
words: Adolf. Hitler.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Look, just because the walls are crumbling, just because the
higher-ups ousted your trusted party leader in a military-coup, don’t put your
trust into a smooth-talking false prophet. Next thing you know, you might hire
a 33-year old with no resume.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sure, he’ll rally you around a microphone and promise you
everything you want to hear. He’ll yell and shout and clinch his fist, and
you’ll be with him in every step. &lt;em&gt;(‘Hail Der Kiffin!’)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He’ll point fingers at Uncle Nick and tell you he will take
down the red &amp;amp; white armies. You’ll hail his name, rejoice, and hand him
the keys to the empire. &lt;em&gt;(‘For king, for country, for Rocky Top!’)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But the Armies of Saban are coming. Their recruitment will
know no boundaries. Their star ratings will have no limits. Their arrows will
blot out the sun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And four years later, with the Armies of Saban surrounding
your false prophet, he will realize the end is near… and put a bullet in his
head before someone he trusts beats him to the punch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Tip A: Calculating Deflation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With Saban in town, SEC win deflation is to be
expected.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Most SEC schools need only deduct one win per season, or -
if you like - the total number of times you play Alabama per season. (For one
(un)lucky SEC East team, this could mean twice/year.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Auburn fans should use the following formula to deduct win
deflation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt;X &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt; Saban&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt;X &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Palatino;"&gt; you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you aren’t math-handy (you did go to Auburn), in order to
calculate the effect of Nick Saban on Auburn’s program, simply take this
2-question multiple-choice exam:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MULTIPLE CHOICE - Wh?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;NICK SABAN; AUBURN FOOTBALL:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A) iceberg; Titanic&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;E) Bear Bryant; Auburn football&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the 2008 Iron Bowl, Nick Saban heavily influenced
which of the following Auburn scoring drives?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;B)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;C)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;D)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;E) All of the above.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Tip B: Calculating Inflation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;(This only applies to Tuscaloosa/University of Alabama
fans.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The formula for win inflation is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;1. (sum of Shula * 2 = sum of Saban)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2. (deduct loss total from both columns)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;3. (equalize columns)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;4. (adjust trophy factor)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ex:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(6-6 (* 2) = 12-0)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;6 * 2 = 12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;12 = 12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;12 = 13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, you still have a job? Congrats! Here’s how to keep
it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;4 TIPS ON HOW TO AVOID GETTING FIRED BY NICK SABAN:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Tip #1: Don’t be named ‘Tommy.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;People named Tommy are fired as a result of Nick Saban at a
much higher rate than people not named Tommy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In fact, according to the SEC main office, referred to in
some circles as “Nick Saban’s garage,” people named Tommy are twice as likely
to fall victim to the Procession.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If your name is ‘Tommy,’ Gump4Heisman recommends legally
changing your name to something more inconspicuous. Like ‘Nick Saban’s Bitch.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Tip #2: Don’t be fat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you are eating something while reading this, stop. Put it
down. With every bite, you are more and more likely to fall victim to The Great
Procession, just like The Great Pumpkin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Being fat leads doubles your chances of being fired. And if
you think things will be okay because you’re fat AND black, think again. Might
want to ask Mr. Croom about that one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Tip #3: Don’t be skinny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eat up, bulimia boy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Skinny people are 50% more likely to be fired as a result of
direct contact with Nick Saban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;From Bowden to Tuberville, rain-thin coke whores are falling
by the wayside. So if your figure looks like Keira Knightly in &lt;em&gt;Pirates of
the Caribbean&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;, go to McDonald’s twice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The good news? People with tiny-ass bones are getting jobs
because of Nick Saban too. Isn’t that right, Dabo?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Tip #4: Don’t have big ears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Seriously. This one is important. You &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; have normal-sized ears to survive the Nickpocalypse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Without small to medium-sized ears, your chances are slim to
none. And Slim just got skullfucked 36-0.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot overemphasize this. If you have oversized ears,
think like a transvestite and tuck.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Your new business plan: Don’t try to compete with Nick
Saban.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;To rational people, the very notion of this needn’t even be
said and makes zero sense. Who would say &lt;em&gt;‘I’m going to try and compete with
Nick Saban’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;? It is like saying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘I’m
going to get a job as an 18-wheeler.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But some people are insane. They hold crazy, delusional
notions like &lt;em&gt;‘The Earth revolves around Antarctica,’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘The Sun is my bff’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘I ain’t scared of Nick Saban.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Should these people be locked up? Of course. But this is
America. Where people like Tom Cruise are allowed to roam free. And jump on
couches. And make English-speaking movies about Nazi Germany. And be gay. And
marry the entire cast of &lt;em&gt;Dawson’s Creek&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;
to distract everyone from the fact that he is a penis magnet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So if Tom Cruise is acceptably bat-shit, what’s to stop Tom
Tuberville from going off his rocker and thinking he can compete with Nick
“Danger” Saban?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nothing. It’s happened at Auburn, Clemson, Tennessee. Even
Mississippi State. Many say it’s happening now at LSU.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Trying to compete with Nick Saban can lead to disastrous
results. Such as hiring a Division IV spread coordinator to run your Power-I
offense, scheduling Alabama in the Georgia Dome or keeping Les Miles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If your business in any way has a conflict of interest with
Nick Saban, be warned. Either change businesses, or suffer the consequences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Read this VERY carefully:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do not try to compete with Him. It isn’t worth it. Just kick
the soccer ball in your own net and go home.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Your new business plan, Part 2: Relocate your office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If your office is located within a 200-mile radius of Nick
Saban’s office, it’s probably a good idea to shut it down immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘But how?’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; you ask.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well, have you thought of a good insurance scam?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Whatever you do, don’t go campaigning for another job out of
fear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Les Miles (Michigan) and Tommy Tuberville (Arkansas) already
tried that last year, only to be sabotaged by unwanted media attention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If only they had pulled a &lt;em&gt;Goodfellas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;-esque insurance fire on their respective athletic
facilities and opened up shop in the ACC, well, it would have been a
Lufthansa-sized heist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;To be the best you have to emulate the best. So the best way
to not fall victim to Saban, is to copy Saban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;HOW TO BE LIKE NICK SABAN AT THE OFFICE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Don’t smile at the receptionist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t smile at anyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In fact, it’s probably a good idea to pace frantic
frantically at all times, in all places, at all meetings, even while sitting
down, stopping at no point to smile at no one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 14px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;ALWAYS REMEMBER: You don’t have time for this shit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;On your way into work, walk fast with your head angled
towards the ground. Not as if you are ashamed. As if you are scouring the ground
for something to dominate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Don’t take bathroom breaks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Here’s where you don’t have time for this shit, &lt;em&gt;literally.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Stay at your desk at all times. Do whatever it takes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you have to go #1, piss your pants and keep typing. If
you have to go #2, take your laptop to the bathroom and pound it out while
you’re pounding it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Remember, this economy isn’t your father’s economy. Nick
Saban is in town. So when nature calls, send it through to voicemail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Are you saying Nick Saban wets his pants’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of course I’m not saying that. I’m just like anyone, I want
to live to see the New Year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But you’re not Nick Saban are you? No, you’re not. And if
you’re not Nick Saban, you’re behind the 8-ball.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You’ve got &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;time &lt;/span&gt;to make up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;No bathroom breaks, no coffee breaks, no smoke breaks. I
don’t care if you have to piss in a paper shredder while puffing a Camel light
with a portable Starbucks IV in your arm, you &lt;em&gt;stay&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; at that desk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Dominate your cubicle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This one is self-explanatory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just go out to work, every day, and dominate your cubicle.
Aight?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Dominate your lobby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If someone in the office lobby walks near you, look up and
stare that person in the face. Relentlessly. No talking. No smiling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Dominate your elevator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When you are on the elevator, no one else gets on the
elevator. Period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Remember, if you are going to &lt;em&gt;survive&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; Nick Saban, you have to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;think like &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;Nick Saban.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If someone’s going up, you’re going down. If someone’s going
down, you’re going up. If the door opens and you’re already on, laptop that
person in the neck and hit ‘&amp;gt;|&amp;lt;’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Treat the elevator as if it were your wife: No one’s getting
in it but you. And anyone who tries to go down on it, dies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Get to work early.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;To avoid the rapidly-spreading Procession, it’s a good idea
to get into work early. Like, say, 2 A.M. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Leave work late.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s also a good idea to leave work late. Like, say, 2 A.M.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;How to handle success at work: Get pissed!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Wait until you have the best day, month or year of your
career. Then get really pissed off. At everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you are having a record-setting month at the office, walk
into your best salesman’s office and throw his keyboard at his face. When an
associate sells $3 million dollars worth of medical equipment, rip him to
shreds in the office lobby. If a branch manager has a banner day, visit that
branch. And ream him. In the front parking lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Was that new advertising campaign a big hit with the client?
Great. Now bitch-slap the guy who wrote it. For sending it to the client
without the proper ‘.pdf’ file-name extension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If in doubt, chew the entire office out. Even if you’re an
intern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Why?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It doesn’t matter. Maybe someone left the coffee pot empty.
Maybe someone put the big paper clips in with the small paper clips.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Maybe your sales team is up on the other sales team
$6,000,000 to zero. And maybe you should choke-slam all of them. For not
parking their cars straight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 17px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;BEING LIKE NICK SABAN AT THE OFFICE: (What to Avoid)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Avoid gloating around the office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Keeping &amp;quot;Safe from Saban&amp;quot; hinges on this fact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When in the office setting, always try and stay professional
and classy. (Unless one of the secretaries is just begging for it.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For instance, if you successfully make 6 consecutive copies
on the copy machine, try and refrain from running around the office holding up
6 fingers. The rest of the office will just grow annoyed. So what, you can make
copies. We know. It’s not that big a deal. The copier was probably on
probation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Plus, you’re only setting yourself up for failure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You walk up to the copier holding up a presumptive 7 fingers
for everyone in officeland to see. You turn and wink at the hot accountant with
the shitty copy-centric cubicle location. You grin. You hit the green button.
Boom: paper jam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The copier melts down and beeps like R2-D2, the black-ink
container pops a money shot on your face, and the entire office stands up and
looks on as the IT freak you always suspected was serial killer busts out of
his cubicle, shoots you 36 times with the nail gun he smuggled from the office
warehouse, beats you for three hours with oversized CMYK cartridges, calls a
timeout to freeze your kicker, and takes a steaming piss on you in front of
everyone from accounts receivable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And then, you’re called into the office – 36 nails protruding
from your half-carcus, looking like Hellraiser, black-mark all over your face,
pissed on in front of the entire company, sans your manhood, sans your dignity,
sans your respect – and fired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Why? Because of Nick Saban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;DON’T let this happen to you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: &amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;; "&gt;Avoid custom-made t-shirts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you sell more media than the dim-witted CEO’s son,
please… don’t print up t-shirts about it. And certainly don’t wear them to the
office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Because what if they fire the favorite son?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if they bring in a NYC top-level executive?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Next thing you know, he’s got all your leads, he’s got all
your clients, and you won’t be able to sell free copies of &lt;em&gt;Us Weekly&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; to adderall-fueled sorority houses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What happens now? (Eh, Tommy?) Now your shirt just looks
faded and dumb. Kind of like your wife without a suntan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;FIN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The other day, I heard a lady say that since Alabama is undefeated and
#1 in the country, she wished Nick Saban would smile every now and then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I remember thinking at the time, &lt;em&gt;‘Bitch, is you crazy?’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban, smile? Who could suggest such a thing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never, ever smile.&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ever.&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The very thought
of Nick Saban smiling is disastrous to humanity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you think that sounds crazy, think about the children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if a small child saw Nick Saban smile? While he was building
a treehouse? And then what if he thought &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘Eh, I’ve done enough.’&lt;/span&gt; And then what
if he thought &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘I’m going to sit back and enjoy my treehouse.’&lt;/span&gt; And then what if
he tried to climb his unfinished treehouse and broke his leg?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want small children to break their legs? Then don’t
ask Nick Saban to smile.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if a 5-star saw Nick Saban smile? He would probably
turn into a 4-star. And then he would be content with that, until he turned
into a 3-star. And then he would be content with that, until he turned into an
Auburn commit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If Nick Saban started smiling all the time, what’s to stop the Earth’s&amp;#0160;crops from slacking off and getting content? Huh? So the next time you’re eating
your food and watching Sportscenter and you think, &lt;em&gt;‘That Nick Saban’s a
jerk,’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; you shut your mouth and be grateful
for that potato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Did you ever think maybe &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;that’s&lt;/span&gt; what happened to
Eddie Murphy? You know, he made &lt;em&gt;Raw&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Delirious&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beverly Hills Cop&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trading Places.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; And then he made &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coming to America&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;. And then Nick Saban probably went to see it. And
during the movie, Nick Saban probably let up and smiled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Poof: &lt;em&gt;Pluto Nash&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We all know the state of Louisiana owes a lot to Nick Saban.
But what if they owe him even more than we think? What if, instead of
“finishing” the continent, our forefathers had seen Nick Saban smile and let
up?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bye bye, Louisiana Purchase. I guess 13 states is “good
enough.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Why should Nick Saban never smile?&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Because I like having 50
stars on the American flag, thank you very much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If Nick Saban went around smiling, imagine the effect it would have on our animal species.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if cheetahs stopped buying into the process?&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What would they do then, jog?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if they got fat and happy and stopped hunting
altogether?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then what if ostriches got overpopulated and took over the
planet? And then what if they got really pissed when they found out about ostrich
jerky? And then what if they enslaved humans and learned how to talk and ride horses
and capture Charlton Heston?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want to see ostriches to take over the Earth?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want to see your entire family enslaved by a bird
that runs like a complete fag?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want to see a Hollywood remake of the whole thing
starring Marky Mark?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;God no. This is why Nick Saban must never smile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What if Michael Jordan had seen Nick Saban smile? And then
just said, &lt;em&gt;‘You know what Scottie? One championship is enough. You up for 18
holes?’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If Michael Jordan hadn’t “finished,” Charles Barkley would
probably have three rings. Then he would &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; never shut up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then instead of running for governor, he would probably run
for president. Then he probably would win. Then President-elect Barkley would
probably gamble away the US Treasury on a halftime line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want President-elect Barkley to bet the Statue of
Liberty on a Little League World Series game?&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want Canada to win the
Grand Canyon in a game of craps?&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want to lose Hawaii to France over a
game of dice?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want the U.S. to lose everything?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you want to see the Round Mound of Impound?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then don’t ask Nick Saban to smile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never smile because look at the state of
the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never smile because look at the state of
the Indiana Jones franchise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never smile because look at the state of
Oprah Winfrey’s ass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never smile because… penguins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I don’t want penguins getting any ideas. Especially after
what happened with ostriches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban should never, ever, ever, ever smile. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Think about this: What if Nick Saban smiled in the mirror?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And then what if &lt;em&gt;Nick Saban &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;saw Nick Saban smile? And then maybe Nick Saban himself would stop
buying into the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What would happen then?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Aight, life as we know it could completely break down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What would happen if the Sun started looking ahead to next week?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If the Earth’s gravitational pull started playing down to the
competition?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If the planet’s ecosystem started standing around and looking at the scoreboard?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;0 quit being responsible for it’s own
self-determination?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What would happen then?&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Before you’d know it, there’d be no sunlight,
there’d be no plants, there’d be no water, and the Earth’s entire population
would slowly float off in space to suffocate and die.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So the next time you think about Nick Saban smiling, think
again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Think about the consequences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;They tried to out-cheat Rocky Top!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Who will give my boys their aid?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Who will make sure they are paid?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Will you help them, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Canned-I-am?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Will you help them, to a man?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not cheat them to a sale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not cheat them out of jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not cheat them to not ‘Fail.’&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not cheat them to make bail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not buy them an Escalade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not buy them to get paid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I will not buy them a good grade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;How much for the marmalade?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Can you coach them,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Canned-I-am?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Can you coach them, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ever again?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Canned I am.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Worth a damn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them like a hick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them like in a flick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them vs. Richt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them at Red Stick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them vs. Nick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot coach them worth a lick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot rat when teams out-cheat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot bring myself to eat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I cannot leave this KFC.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Stung I am, by bright-orange bees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Canned I am, right to my knees.&lt;/p&gt;

really good in college but then leaves college for the pros but then doesn’t
like the pros so he goes back to college when he gets the job at Alabama? You
probably haven’t. It’s not really a horror story unless you’re an Auburn fan.
Man, I love that fairy tale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I think one thing that probably happened is that one day,
Nick Saban went on a hike. And on that hike, I think he coached-up an anthill.
I bet he really got those ants believing in themselves. I bet he coached those
ants right out of that hill. Then I bet he stepped on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I have a scientific theory that whenever Nick Saban is
out-recruited, he morphs into a giant green monster and smashes things. People
call me an idiot when I tell them, but I don’t care. Besides, like we’ll ever
find out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If Nick Saban were a turtle, wow. Most intense turtle &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One time my uncle, who is a big LSU fan, said he loved Nick
Saban. Then, not long after, he said he hated Nick Saban, and he threw all his
Nick Saban pictures away. Hmm, I wonder if Nick Saban fucked my uncle’s wife.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nick Saban once made an NFL football player cry. But the
real question still stands: Could Nick Saban make a T-Rex cry? I think ‘yes.’&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One thing I’ve noticed is that whenever Nick Saban is at a
podium by himself, he never says ‘I.’ He answers every question with ‘we.’ At
first I was like ‘Is Nick Saban French?’ Then I was like ‘Yea right. &lt;em&gt;Nick
Saban&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;, a ‘yes’ man?’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;According to my cousin, exactly 72 hours prior to National
Signing Day, Nick Saban lights ups and flashes like Super Mario on Star Power.
What, you don’t believe me? Are you calling my cousin a liar? Because if you
are, good call. My cousin is so full of shit. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If Nick Saban were a color, it would probably be ‘Grrr.’&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I’ll never forget the time LSU and Nick Saban beat Kentucky
on a last-minute hail mary. They called it the &lt;em&gt;‘Bluegrass Miracle.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; But what they probably should have called it was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Boy
LSU must’ve really sucked a fat ass that year because they needed a hail mary
to beat Kentucky.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; That’s what I would’ve
called it. Then again, I call raisins “fuckface grapes,” so I’m probably just
an asshole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Last year, my kids asked me if I could raise their
allowances. I told them, the day someone can take me back to the 1970’s, I’ll
quadruple it. Thanks a lot, Nick Saban.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My roommate is a big Auburn guy. When Alabama hired Nick
Saban, I kept joking that he better be afraid. I even said that the only thing
that could stop Nick Saban would be wearing garlic cloves around your neck.
Looking back, I probably shouldn’t have said all that. No, really. My apartment
smells like &lt;em&gt;shit.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One thing I think, is that dinosaurs probably aren&amp;#39;t extinct at all. I bet what
really happened is, they all got recruited to other planets by Nick Saban.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I bet Nick Saban really does have laser eyes. But I bet
they’re not as sinister as everyone thinks they are. I bet they’re more of
like, a convenience thing. Like when Nick Saban’s wife is using the kitchen but
Nick Saban wants to microwave a pop tart, he probably remembers, “oh hey, laser
eyes.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once, I heard an opposing fan call Nick Saban
‘overpaid.’ I was sitting in the Alabama section, but none of us said anything
back. We just looked at each other, smiled, and nodded. We were all thinking the
same thing:&amp;#0160;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“I bet Nick Saban buys that guy’s company and fires him.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;No one really knows what happened in Auburn, Ala. the day
Nick Saban was hired. But I bet it was a lot like the movie &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dawn of the Dead&lt;/span&gt;. I bet people just started biting each other for no reason. Then they were all
like&amp;#0160;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“Fuck it. Let’s go to the mall.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        <summary>If you're a young Alabama fan (early 20's or younger) watching Auburn this year can be a bit confusing. 'But wait. Aren't they supposed to be... good?' No. No they're not. They're supposed to be Auburn. And, thank God (Saban),...</summary>

 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&amp;#39;re a young Alabama fan (early 20&amp;#39;s or younger) watching Auburn this year can be a bit confusing. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#39;But wait. Aren&amp;#39;t they supposed to be... good?&amp;#39;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;No. No they&amp;#39;re not. They&amp;#39;re supposed to be Auburn. And, thank God (Saban), after yesterday they are officially Auburn once more.&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Those of us who were around during either the Bryant or Stallings eras know better. When Alabama is good, Auburn - more than often - is not and cannot. And if they are good, they aren&amp;#39;t AS good as Alabama. Thus no one cares.&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What they&amp;#39;re supposed to do is run around and think of crazy ways to compete with the superior program across the state. For you younguns, that&amp;#39;s why they&amp;#39;ve been put on probation 6 times - more than any other football program in the NCAA. They&amp;#39;re supposed to have to do all kinds of wacky things to be able to compete: pay people, switch to gimmicky spread offenses, fire gimmicky spread offenses in the middle of the season because Alabama is&amp;#0160;6-0 and&amp;#0160;#2 in the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So it&amp;#39;s time to shake off the old cobwebs. THIS is Auburn Football. And this is a guide to watching it:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;What are some pointers I should know about when watching
Auburn?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Pointer #1:&lt;/span&gt; Never, ever get up to go pee when Auburn gets
the football. Doing so can result in missing entire offensive possessions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Pointer #2:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#0160;When you are watching an Auburn football game, and you see this warning:&amp;#0160;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;“The following may not be rebroadcast or retransmitted without the expressed written consent of Nick Saban.”&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;Take it seriously. Take it VERY seriously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Pointer #3:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#0160;No, Auburn University has not changed their official scoreboard abbreviation to&amp;#0160;&lt;em&gt;‘AUBO.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&amp;#0160;It just looks that way when the score reads ‘AUB 0’ for half a season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;What should I do while I watch Auburn this year?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Watching Auburn in 2008 can be a tricky ordeal. What should
I do? How hard should I laugh? Harder than the first time I saw &lt;em&gt;Superbad&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;? Yes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With this easy six-step guide, you’ll be in great position
to watch the 2008 Auburn Tigers in no time. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just flip your TV to the Auburn game, and do this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;a)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Sit in large lair-like chair&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;b)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Pucker lips, ball right hand in fist&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;c)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Extrude pinky finger from right hand&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;d)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Place extruded pinky to lips&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;e)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Stroke pet kitten (preferably while in lap)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;f)&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;
&lt;/span&gt;Repeat the phrase “Muahahahahaha” 3-6 times (or until
necessary)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(NOTE: Six-step position guide also applies to watching 2008
Tennessee Volunteers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When all is said and done, your new Auburn-watching pose should resemble this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gump4heisman.com/.a/6a00e0097f224188330105356d7f79970b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Picture 4" class="at-xid-6a00e0097f224188330105356d7f79970b " src="http://www.gump4heisman.com/.a/6a00e0097f224188330105356d7f79970b-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Help! Is that a look of cluelessness or a look of anger on the
Auburn coaching staff’s faces?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s a look of both. Would you not be pissed and clueless if
you were an Auburn coach? Yes, yes you would. Let’s explain both:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pissed:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Fucking Shula. I knew it. I knew we should have let him win
one. But no, all Tommy cared about was that streak. We kept saying, ‘Well what
if they fire him and get a real coach, huh? Who will we kick around then?’ Even
with those big ass ears, he didn’t listen.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Clueless:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“How the hell did they get &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;? How? Anybody but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.
What is it, third down? Who has the ball, us? Who cares. We’re fucked. How? How
did they get &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;? I don’t even
think my resume is updated. I should probably update it. Maybe I should send it
to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Alright, so I’m watching this team. But it’s so damn
boring. What can I do to spice things up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well let’s look on the bright side. You’ve got Auburn’s
offense to watch, so – theoretically – you’ve got plenty of comic relief.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But, after all, we are here to spice things up. So whenever
Auburn has the ball, break out the iPod and play this tune:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gump4heisman.com/my_weblog/files/benny_hill_show.mp3"&gt;&amp;quot;The Spread Eagle Theme Song&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;See? Watching Auburn football is immediately more exciting!
Does it feel trite, overdone and hackneyed? Of course it does. This is Auburn’s
spread offense we’re talking about. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Are there any drinking games I can play while I watch
Auburn?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sure. Let’s examine…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;What to do with the Designated Driver:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;First off, we have to give the designated driver something
to do or he/she will feel bored.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So tell them they are going to play their own drinking game.
Whenever Auburn scores, the DD has to drink. This way, by the end of the game,
you know 100% that the DD will be sober as shit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;But you and your friends really want to tie one on huh?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well, here’s a few drinking games that will have you howling
at the sun (since Auburn’s probably playing on JP for the rest of the year
anyway):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;‘Punt Auburn Punt’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Every time Auburn punts the ball, everyone turns up a glass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now, I’d feel irresponsible if I didn’t warn you: this is a
dangerous, dangerous game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You aren’t just about to get drunk. You are about to get
out-of-control. John Dalyied. You are going to be so drunk, you’ll pronounce it
‘schmrunk.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You know that ex-girlfriend you try not to call? You just
called her. In fact, you’re about to text her, page her, write her, telegram
her, singing-telegram her, candygram her and 1-800-flowers her if you play this
game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You will be shit-faced. When you try and talk, you will
sound like Pat Dye on Finebaum. You will be slurring every other word and
coughing like Doc Holliday after a bong hit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You will be so mind-numbingly wasted that you will try to fight
load-bearing walls. You will try and play pool by closing one eye and using
your index finger. When you attempt to change your location, you will walk like
Forrest Gump-in-leg-braces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is why we recommend you switch to another drinking game
in the second half.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;‘My Ears are burning’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do you need an excuse to drink?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well here’s one: Tommy Tuberville has two giant
skin-frisbees. As ears. And, in this game, you get to pay homage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Each time they show Tuberville, everyone in the room must
scream out a secondary use for Tuberville’s massive flesh treys.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Flotation devices!’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Parachutes!’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Silence of the Lambs blankets!’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you can’t think of one, drink. And if you repeat one
that’s already been said, drink twice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;‘Black-or-White’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We all know Auburn has two QBs. We all know they can’t
decide which one they like most. And by ‘like most’ I mean ‘punt less with.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So in this game, you just follow the in-out substitution,
and chug a beer whenever the race card flips over. In either direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t worry, it isn’t racist. To paraphrase Michael Jackson:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘If you’re talkin’ bout a three-and-out, it don’t matter
if it’s black or white.’&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;I feel like I’m getting tipsy. What should I do to sober
up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just relax. Sit back and breathe. It’s probably a good idea
to time your inhales and exhales by Auburn’s football possessions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; down Auburn &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(inhale)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; down Auburn&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (exhale)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do this for a few Auburn three-and-outs and you should be
fine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Will the Tony Franklin firing affect any of these drinking
games?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just relax.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;True, the Tony Franklin hiring may have been the biggest
disaster since Katrina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BUT… ever since Cadillac Williams, Jason Campbell and Ronnie
Brown left campus, Auburn’s offense has blown more royal dick than
’96-Lewinsky.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Plus, Tuberville says he’s sticking with the spread. Even
though he fired the guy who brought in the spread. Or didn’t bring in the
spread. Depending on who you talk to. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;So I’m at a bar using this guide, and this Auburn guy
keeps saying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;‘Did you know Auburn beat Alabama six years in a row?’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hey Auburn, irrelevant trivia is for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Guess who &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt; a
Millionaire? Nick Fucking Saban.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Since I typed that last sentence, Nick Saban has earned
approximately $366,408 dollars and 38 cents. And he still wants Auburn’s lunch
money. Because he’s a bully.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He gets paid that much precisely BECAUSE he’s a bully. And
he’s bullying everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You remember back in January 2008, that team you baaaarely
squeaked by in overtime? Well Nick Saban just slammed their face into a
concrete mailbox. By about four touchdowns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Remember that team who threw on black uniforms 10 months ago
and embarrassed you 41-to-something? Well they tried that same stunt against
Nick Saban and lost 31-0. I heard a rumor they even came back out for the
second half. That’s balls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And he’s not only going to take all your lunch money. He’s
going to take all your lunch. And then eat it. And then shit it back out on a
plate, and make you eat it. For the next decade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Well this one must be in denial, because he keeps
pointing to a shirt that says ‘Six-in-a-Row!’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t worry. While factually true, his shirt is inherently
dishonest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You see, this would be like beating up
Christopher-Reeves-in-a-wheelchair and then printing up a shirt that said&amp;#0160;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;‘I BEAT UP SUPERMAN.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;No you didn’t. You didn’t beat up Superman. Was this
Superman leaping tall buildings and reversing the Earth’s gravitational pull
and flying on easy-to-see strings and shit?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;No.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;See, the premise behind your shirt is that beating up
Superman is a big deal. Sure it is. Under regular circumstances. But when
Superman is crippled, beating him up is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal"&gt;
a big deal. Why? Because everyone could do it. And because everyone did do it.
Because everyone was so tired of getting their ass beat BY Superman, that they
couldn’t wait to Kryptonite his ass once he hit a rough spot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So, no. You didn’t beat up Superman. You beat up Mike Shula.
Way to go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You know who else was undefeated against Mike Shula?
Northern Illinois. I wonder if they have shirts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;#39;Arial Black&amp;#39;;"&gt;Well I told him all this and he keeps saying shit like
“Six in a row! Six in a row!”:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Oh, did someone say shit? Well, as the British were
retreating at the end of the American Revolution, someone probably said shit
too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And then someone probably said this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘Listen, you crooked-toothed bastards, keep talking shit as
you backpedal aimlessly from inevitable defeat. That’s great you ran things
when we were a colony. Guess what? Not a colony anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Actually, we’re a big fucking powerhouse country now. Yea.
Oh, did you not get the memo? We got George Washington. Yep. No more sissy-ass
Lt. Governors for you to push around. Nope. Just George Washington.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;He wants to whip your ass because he wants a fucking
monument. He wants a giant statue of himself built simply due to the fact that
he whipped the shit out of other countries. He’s the reason you’re running over
yourselves in a panic, losing battles and firing generals and shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What happened to your badass naval fleet Britain? Where are
all those big bad ships you used to have? What do you mean you don’t have them
anymore? What do you mean you only got those ships in the first place because
Spain was on probation?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Well, that colony you’re used to picking on is called The
United States of America now. So retreat, shut the fuck up, get out of its way,
and don’t make us 1812 your ass. You’re our little sister now. We’ll call you
if we have trouble with Germans.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
