TUSCALOOSA, AL — Elders at First Bible Church of Tuscaloosa recently placed the church's head pastor Bob "Jimbo" James on leave after he gave a sermon without incorporating even one single college football analogy.
According to congregants at First Bible, congregants became concerned when Pastor Jimbo began to approach the 30-minute mark of his sermon without having mentioned the comeback over South Carolina, Coach DeBoer, or even saying "Roll Tide."
"Things were getting a bit edgy," said Marty Travis, a member of First Bible Church and Crimson Tide alumnus. "He had such an easy opportunity to say how the inseparable operations of the Triune Godhead are kinda like a football play. You know, where the offensive lineman blocking and the quarterback throwing and wide receiver catching is all one play, but all of them acting together at once. He didn't say anything like that — and he didn't even hype the Tide! Is he even saved?"
According to First Bible Church's Board of Elders, Pastor Jimbo will be on probation until he has successfully shown the church that he can work the Crimson Tide into any sermon, no matter how much of a stretch.
At publishing time, Pastor Jimbo had been reinstated after somehow working in three college football references during a mid-week funeral.
Someone who doesn’t believe in Bear Bryant.
Bryant is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Bimringham, AL. It is said locally that UA fans still come by to pay tribute to the Bear and AU fans still come by to make sure he is still there.

Roll Tide!
I’m glad this was the Bee. It had me concerned for a second.
And the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying: 2 ‘Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury. 3 Thus saith the LORD: I return unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. {S} 4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the broad places of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
*******5 And the broad places of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the broad places thereof. *****
{S} 6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in Mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. {P} 7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country; 8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

Of course, there’s also old Paul
” When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.””

but ... well, that’s not my problem. I still like to play

LOL! I’m a Tide fan and I think this is hilarious!
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.Although I seriously doubt that the hymn's creators Julia Johnston, a Peoria, Ill. Presbyterian Sunday school teacher and Daniel Towner, the great Methodist hymnodist from Rome, Pa. (near Binghamton, NY) were University of Alabama football fans, I wouldn't be surprised if the hymn is often sung in Alabama churches.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.
He said there shall be wars and rumors of wars. And the Democrats who cheered for Russia against Reagan will hate Russia. And life long Bama fans will support the Auburn coach for senator.
They asked, Master, how can that be?
He said, simple — Russia will quit being communist.
Funny...lol
And when Bama loses to Vandy.
You’re not too wrong — for half of the state. I’m a missionary and I am definitely NOT of the Bryant cult. War Eagle!
