    Is there going to be a Burn Bama bonfine Friday night?

    I heard this on local radio. Something about how Saban stuff will be burned that night.

    First, is this true? If so your thoughts on this? Seems a little over the top to me... :huh:

    Haven't heard anything about it. But could be a good tradition to start.

    it's just one of those new condos outside of campus doing a promotional stunt. Sounds like a bunch of jackasses to me...

    Yeh I heard nothing. But Bon Fires are actually very common. A&M does them before the Texas Game every year and in High School I think we had 3 or 4 a year.
    I wouldnt take it as something vicious if it does happen. Pre game Bon Fires are Pep rallies
    Heck they even had a Bon Fire in the Movie Grease at their Pep Rally.

    No I dont think either of those...


    Bama had something like that here when Fran bolted. I thought it was childish actually. Lots of Bama fans too did but you did have those who just couldn't get over it and move on.

    I still dont understand why most LSU fans just deeply hate him. Dolphins fans have a legit argument there but Saban wasn't generally hated by LSU fans until he was named HC at Alabama.
