'Dixieland Delight' Is Coming Back To Bryant-Denny, Which Means 'Play For Four, Stay For Four' Is Back Too

But how long do we think this "clean" version will last?

'Dixieland Delight' Is Coming Back To Bryant-Denny, Which Means 'Play For Four, Stay For Four' Is Back Too

In This Article:

The University of Alabama Athletics released a video Wednesday night on October 10th stating they were bringing "Dixieland Delight" back. Bama truly does thrive on traditions as this campus was originally founded in 1831, so yes, tradition is huge here.

But as stated in the video, all fans must follow and say the CORRECT words when they appear on the screens. If the stadium follows EXACTLY what we are supposed to do, everyone is hoping Dixie will stay.

The last time Dixieland Delight was played in Bryant-Denny Stadium was the Iron Bowl of 2014 where the stadium echoed "F*** Auburn" through the 101,821-seat stadium. So, this Saturday at the game in the fourth quarter we will hear the sweet acoustics of "Dixieland Delight" for the first time in four years. The game this weekend is Alabama vs. Missouri and it's a NIGHT GAME that's going to start at 6 p.m.

I have compiled a list of why this would be a good thing to bring back, cuss words or not.

It's been gone for way too long

We can sing it at the Iron Bowl

Carrying on tradition 

Students will stay for four

All fans will look forward to the 4th quarter instead of acting uninterested

Alumni will appreciate the old-time screaming tradition of the song

If we stick to the lyrics we are good to go!

As much as the cuss words are tempting to scream we have one shot at this and after not having "Dixieland" in BDS for some time I most definitely would not mess it up!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
