I keep on getting bad vibes when I see all these "13" things...kinda like the Boston Herald copyrighting 19-0 before the 2007 Pats' Super Bowl loss to the Giants.

If you don't learn from the past . . .

. . . you're doomed to repeat it.

I certainly meant no "hard feelings" in my comments -- just want to wait and see what happens.

I certainly understand how important advertisers are here, and what they help the rest of us have on these boards. And for that I'm thankful to them (though premature they may be). :biggrin:

Hey Guys,

I am one of the owners of www.got13.com and wanted to post a quick message.

First of all, thanks for all the traffic and interest in our site. To those of you worried that we are "putting the cart before the horse," we would like to say that we hear you and want you to know that jinxing the team is the last thing we want (or else we will be wearing got 13? shirts for the rest of our lives!). While we are happy to fill orders today, we are promoting the site over the next couple of weeks in an effort to raise awareness of its existence if/when Alabama wins the BCS championship game. Sorry to have ruffled any feathers and hopefully you guys will visit us after the game!

Thanks and Roll Tide.

Matt

I think we can all appreciate that, Matt. You'll be happy to know I've seen reference to your site in about 3 different places now; so having yourselves out there is always a good thing. And I certainly appreciate what you guys are trying to do. No-one wants that number more than we do.

Just don't let Coach Saban find you guys. :tongue:

Ha, fair enough...we'll stay in hiding for the next few weeks! :eek2:

 

[CrimsonJag]

If we don't win, I couldn't care less what an awbie says because they've still got 11 less than us.

Well, the Barn does lead in times on probation and People's National Championships. Gotta have something to hand their hat on, I reckon. :tongue:

I was just looking for this picture :biggrin:

 

[AngryEwok]

Lame product - don't make too much money, the U of A will go after you before you can count to 12.

If you are taking orders with about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter on Jan 7th, you may get some takers.

 

[squeally dan]

I still have my Sugar Bowl shirt from last year. I bought it before the game and now I can't wear it.

 

[Blood Red]

IF we win, I'll order right after the game. I think Texas will be the best team we play this season.:BigA:

 

[BamaBoots]

In say everyone on the football team wears one under their jersey. What they do after the game is up to them. Or Coach Saban.:BigA::BigA:

They'd damn well better be wearing some Nike Dry Fit (r) underv their gear. Those other shirts are cotton, which causes chaffing.And as Coach Saban, and Javy would tell you, "Chaffing is clutter!"

I know how our coach feels about getting a big head, putting the horse before the cart, etc, etc... and I know how he encourages fans of the program to adapt the same mentality he preaches to the team. Got 13? is not part of that mentality. Especially since we don't "Got 13" we've got 12. I firmly believe that part of "The Process" is not counting your chickens before they hatch.

Red Star is SPOT ON.

Coach Saban has preached it since the clock hit zero in New Orleans last season. He preached it during spring. He led with it as the clock hit zero in Atlanta. He beat it into Herbstriet's head on national Television. He's re-iterated it time and again, and has singled out the fans repeatedly as part of the overall attitude of our program.

The Horns are using the perceived slight of thier chances in this game as motivation, and clutter like this, however minute, WILL be used as a motivation for a team that doesn't need to be motivated any more than they are...they are a dangerous enough team as it is, and ain't gonna just hand us the trophy.

Advertisers are good. I get it.

Nothwithstanding, this was a bad idea, especially if those involved truly want to support the Tide over making a buck. This is clutter.

My not at all humble opinion.

Sorry if that's preceived as rude.

[Bamaman-n-KS]

I think I'll wait until we actually have that number. Wow!

Ditto,

It's like selling eggs and you don't have the chickens yet.

 

[Ark-Tider]

I'm going to order 5 today. If we lose then it will be a motivator to keep my weight down for when we do get #13.

 

[Ark-Tider]

Do you all have burnt orange hats?
