CJ Bas 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 They probably save that for the schools whose fans poison their parks on campus. but oh wait! They don't play uat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you haven't figured out that you don't have to say "go to hell" to imply "go to hell". Oh, that's right you're an Alabama fan. Guess you do.

It's their version of Rammer Jammer without, you know, lacking class. WTF? How is this anything like the rj song by the uat bammies? That's quite a stretch. The crowd is singing along to a tune being played over the PA system. Unlike the updykes, the band is not leading the song and the crowd is not openly taunting the other team en masse about "beating the hell out of somebody." Anybody school that routinely does that ... deserves to be told to GO TO HELL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,123 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I prefer when our band plays Hey Baby, myself. Always a great indicator that we've just won the game, and the celebration is to commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you should have studied English somewhere beside UAT. They failed to inform you of certain situations where that does not apply. It's really not surprising that details would be overlooked in an education from Tuskaloser though. A school that flies a national championship flag for a year when they finished third in the conference and 20th in the AP poll can't put much importance on details.

Quotation marks ARE a form of punctuation. Their placement depends on their usage. In this case AU_alum used them correctly since the period ends the sentence in which the quotation is used and not the sentence within the quotation marks.

I posted a link with a rule, how is that a swing and a miss? You don't end a sentence with and end quote then punctuation. Just because I'm an Alabama fan doesn't change that. I'm waiting for your rule or MLA stylings guide that indicates that I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stupid as arguing grammar on the internet is, I can't have people thinking Mikey is right and then misusing quotes in their business emails because of it.

Anybody school that routinely does that ... deserves to be told to GO TO HELL! That would be why I titled the thread, "Anti-Rammer Jammer" in that it's like Rammer Jammer because it is used as the song they sing when they win, but anti in that it doesn't say that they "just beat the hell out of" some directional school.
