ESPN's list of Super Fans

Crimson Tide fan Dick Coffee of Birmingham is No. 1 on ESPN.com's list of college football superfans 5:31 AM . I read about Mr. Coffee last year before the NC, he is 88 and attended his first game after returning from serving in WWII, he hasn't missed a game since , 741 and counting, pretty amazing.

# 10 Lance Smith was my best man at my wedding. I might be the only UT fan he likes in the world. Here's the ESPN link.

It is so nice to see that the ESPN love affair with Alabama continues.

I'm sorry but "Super Fan" is not how I would describe a grown man putting a tattoo of Bear Bryant on his back and calling it "the love of my life". That guy should be ridiculed even by Bama fans.

Espn creates a love affair with whoever is winning, it's their job.

Buck-I-Guy is friends with the secretary in our office. Needless to say the guy is a goofball. He told me he's trying to get his image licensed or something, so the networks have to pay him everytime they show him on TV. He's tried to turn this into his job. He goes around and wants appearance fees for stopping by offices and stuff.

He obviously deserves to be on the list, but the redneck with the tattoos and kilt and the people who missed their own daughter's wedding are the type of idiots you can find in quite a few fanbases. I guess I missed the fact that it is Alabama Appreciation Month on my calendar.

Bingo. That is also the reason that I have started watching it much less as I have gotten past my teenage years.

Sorry but it gets worse or better, which ever way you look at it, Saban movie opened tonight. He didn't attend because he had practice, Ms. Terry represented.

I am indifferent about that. I might actually watch it. Saban is a great coach.
