So I went to a Bama basketball game tonight

And it's still the same rubbish it was when I last saw a live game in 2006.

Seriously, our basketball program is about as pathetic as the fact that Katy Perry doesn't even kiss a girl in the video for "I Kissed a Girl" (really, she doesn't, what the fuck is that all about?). We still lack identity and organization on offense. Still have lackluster fundamentals. And we still have yet to figure out perimeter defense. And we still have a largely apathetic fanbase (normally, this is where I would link to a column I wrote about three years ago demeaning the Alabama basketball fans for their lack of passion. Problem is, that was published on Dateline Alabama, the University's student-run online news site. However, the College of Communications apparently doesn't think online media is anything important, so the site is now defunct. Brilliant.)

Hopefully, we can bring in someone like Mike Anderson to turn the program around. But enough about that.

What I really went to see at Coleman Coliseum tonight was the presentation of the Foy-ODK Trophy. For the uninformed, that would be the trophy awarded to the winner of the Iron Bowl each year. Six long years it stayed on the plains of Auburn, and now it's back where it belongs in Tuscaloosa.

RMFT.
