Let me be clear, Bear is gone to be with Jesus.   But what if you had the opportunity to get up close and personal with legendary University of Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant? In ASF’s production of Bear Country—you can. Sit in the stands and absorb the wit, a bottle of bourbon, an unfiltered cigarette,be pleasured by a seedy prostitutes bags of money and life journey of a man who rose from being the child of dirt poor white trash sharecroppers to become an Alabama icon and the national standard by which college football coaches are judged.  Houndstooth is truly a crown of thorns. (HT Scott for the Pic and link)
How will they simulate a young Paul rassling a itsy bitsy crippled bear cub?  Cheating started early

    From an Auburn msg board about the clientelle attending the play and the play itself.

    Yes, many of them dressed like they were going to a game. You will lose none of your cynicism nor disdain. There are the obligatory snipes at Auburn and Tennessee. The main actor does portray drinking some CocaCola, some Dickel and taking some nitroglycerin.

    Ironically enough, UT went on probation today. You guys might as well face it if you don’t cheat you don’t win. Nascar gets caught after races, Bonds and Mcgwire used performance enhancing drugs. Horses get steroids, politicians take bribes the thing to do is just try to not get caught. What is a university to do to get a star high school athelete to go to school there. You could brag about your weather and your acedemic program but football players just use a college to get their name in the papers for a higher draft pick so they can make more money. Welcome to the world we live in.
