Bubba and Billy Bob are walking down the street in Atlanta, and they see a sign on a store which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, shirts $2.00 each, trousers $2.50 each."
Bubba says to his pal, "Billy Bob, look here! We could buy gobs of these, take 'em back to Tuscaloosa, sell 'em to our friends, and make a fortune. Just let me do the talkin' cause if they hear your accent, they might think we're ignorant, and won't wanna sell that stuff to us. Now, I'll talk in a slow Georgia drawl, so's they don't know where we is from."
They go in and Bubba says with his best fake Georgia drawl, "I'll take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.50 each. I'll back up my pickup and ...."
The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll play football for Alabama, dontcha?”
"Well ... yeah," says a surprised Bubba ... "How come you knowed that?"
"Because this is a dry cleaners."
P.S.: You can substitute your most hated SEC team and town and pretty much be on the money with this one. I just happen to dislike Bama the most.

A good one. I think the Alabama Dynasty is over. But, it was fun watching them dominate the SEC. Every good thing comes to an end. Sooner or later.

True story. On a trip to Bangkok, Thailand from viet Nam in 67/68, I was walking down a street and passed this store front. I spoke no Thai, btw. In the window on a mannequin was the most gorgeous green silk shirt I had ever seen. I entered and was greeted by a young man, who spoke no Eng. I motioned to the shirt and tried my best to communicate that I would like to purchase the shirt in the window. After several mins of no progress, an older lady came out from the back, who fortunately spoke broken Eng. After a few secs, I finally understood what the problem was. I too, was in a cleaners. I chuckle at myself to this day!

Nah…dynasty isn't over…they just had a lot of injuries this year and ran into a couple of hot teams. Saban will right the ship…he always does.
Clemson almost looks like Alabama East…the same sort of "process" that Saban has although they call it something different. Unfortunately…they ran into LSU who had a gem of a season but it isn't entirely clear that they can reproduce that again. Coach O is pretty good though…and again follows a lot of the same philosophies as Bama and Clemson so ya never know.
