It’s officially been six weeks to the day since Alabama shut out LSU and took home the Tide’s second BCS championship in three years. Exactly when is it an appropriate to time to move on?
Not yet, apparently.
Some decided to put a crimson spin on a Mardi Gras parade* last Friday that featured THIS FLOAT commemorating the Tide’s 21-0 clubbing of the Tigers. Or, for LSU fans, it probably seems a lot more like gloating than commemorating.
(*note: I use the term “parade” loosely. There was a smallish tractor pulling the float, soooo.....)
Although, the float does a pretty good job of lampooning local radio personality Bobby Hebert, father of LSU lineman T-Bob Hebert and self-proclaimed voice of the fans. Hebert was, to put it lightly, critical of Miles during the BCS championship post-game press conference.
Another portion of the float depicts Alabama’s elephant guarding the 50-yard line, representing the Tide’s stout defense that didn’t allow LSU past midfield until late in the game.
Interestingly enough, there was no float reenacting a certain “post-game celebration” between an Alabama and unconscious LSU fan. Must not have made the cut.
But what gets me more than anything is the fact that Alabama has claimed 14 national titles. At what point do people start getting bored with it?
“Congratulations, Alabama! You just won the BCS championship!”
“Yeah, we know.”
Anyway, Troll Tide!
(Hat tip: Throw the Flag blog. And, in a separate note, apologies. I was informed that the float was not constructed by Alabama fans, and thus it’s perfectly acceptable for Bama fans far and wide to lampoon me in any way they see fit.)
