Join Coach McCain’s Winning Team

Posted on | January 3, 2010 | 11 Comments

If you’ve already hit the tip-jar for the Pasadena trip, thank you. If not, you certainly should, because here’s the plan for me to provide neutral, objective coverage of the Crimson Tide’s glorious national championship victory:

  • Plan A

My well-connected source in Pasadena — with the encouragement of an extra $50 — puts sufficient pressure on the Tournament of Roses committee and I get press credentials for Thursday’s BCS game.

  • Plan B

Our readers keep hitting the tip jar to provide that extra $10 or $20 needed to bribe a Rose Bowl security guard.

  • Plan C

Tip-jar hitters come across with $35 for a custom Alabama shirt, $45 for a Radio Shack headphone set, and $15 for a clipboard, so that “Coach McCain” rides the Crimson Tide team bus to Pasadena.

    Plan D is that I chauffeur you around a bit on Wednesday. Buy you a beer too. Looking forward to it!

    No team coached by the Spawn of Satan His Very Bad Self, Nick Saban, gets an ounce of support from me. Hook ‘Em Horns!

    However, have fun out there.

    When I first glanced at the headline, I thought it said John McCain’s Winning Team..

    My first thought was ‘Did someone smoke something they weren’t supposed to last night?’.
