As he should be. Bama grad that works for me (that's right, I employ a Bama grad) is always chatting it up about how they should win every year for as much as they're paying those recruits.
The word employ doesn't necessarily mean he owns the company. He could be a supervisor only a rung or 2 above the gump and doesn't have the authority to fire him. Besides it was a joke. If you think I was seriously suggesting that he fire the guy for being an Alabama fan you are the one who has severely limited comprehension skills.
I am. But I wouldn't. He is one of our best guys AND he isn't a lunatic Bama fan. Very down to earth level headed guy. However, not only does he say it, he even texts the word "purdy" when referring to pretty. I'm purdy sure he does it on purpose, but I light him up every time.
I lived in Mobile for a couple of years in the 90's. One day I wore a gold LSU shirt to work and a woman there told me she liked my purdy yeller shirt.
