Long, long ago, some Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn and Alabama fans decided that black-and-white school colors were a bit too dull. So they called upon God to give them colors that would truly represent them. First, the Georgia fans stood before God and asked for their school colors.
God said, "I see a field of fertile black soil...from which will grow a beautiful field of red roses. Georgia will be black and red. Second were the Auburn fans. God said "I see a wondrous sky of blue with a shining orange sun. You may have the colors of blue and orange."
Then the Tennessee fans stepped before God. God said, as he patted his favorite sons on the head, "When I see my beautiful Tennessee, I see a glorious bright orange shining sun coming up over puffy white clouds. You, my favorite sons, shall have the colors of orange and white. God then turned to the Alabama fans and said quite hastily, "Your colors are definitely going to be crimson and white."
Later, after the fans had left, St. Peter came to God and said, "Lord, as you handed out each fan's colors, you explained their origin - for all but the Alabama fans. I'm curious. Why crimson and white? What do you see when you think of Alabama?"
"I see the same thing as you see," God replied, "white trash and rednecks."
