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!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
