You really have to sit back and just appreciate Alabama fans and what they will do to prove that they are the biggest and best Alabama fans. I’m constantly shocked at how far these people will go. They’ll name their kids Bear. They’ll spend their life savings to travel between Tuscaloosa and their homes (once met a season ticket holder who drove to home games from his house in Virginia).
They’ll trade in electric guitars for a yellow hammer tattoo.
Meet Jacob. His girlfriend Macey (@maceyredman) posted a photo last night of Jacob’s new yellow hammer ink. One thing led to another and I tweeted out the photo this morning. That led to Auburn fans ripping Jacob because a “yellowhammer” is the Alabama state bird, not mean to be a literal yellow hammer. Macey went on the attack and said Jacob isn’t stupid and understands that.
So, of course, I had to play mediator and get to the bottom of this Bama tattoo.
What you’ve learned today is that you can trade a guitar in Atlanta for a $300 Bama tattoo. Bama fans will find a way.
