Saban Bringing Live Elephants?

[Gig]

Yep. Bama will bring live elephants to the field! The Bama SGA is behind it as well!

Rumor has it all fans have to sign a special "release" form (insert STD joke here).

Rammer Jammer, the Walk of Champions, tailgating on the Quad, the Million Dollar Band's performance of Yea Alabama, are all game day traditions. A live elephant may soon be added to the list of game day festivities, depending on what an SGA research group finds in the coming months.

During a joint session between the First Year Council and the SGA Senate, the two bodies passed a resolution that will research bringing a live elephant to campus during football games to add school spirit.

The resolution cited other SEC schools, such as Auburn, Tennessee and LSU that bring an animal to campus for home football games.

The decision was only to create a group to research the idea, but that stirred debate between First Year Council members and SGA senators. Arguments ranged from logistics to animal rights before the resolution was affirmed.

"You can't just throw an elephant in the middle of the Quad. It has to be thought through," said Christy Adamson, a freshman majoring in international business.

Another resolution was passed to try to bring Dining Dollars usage to UA athletic events. The SGA and the First Year Council encouraged Alabama Sports Marketing to give ARAMARK the contract for food services at athletic events, which is up for grabs at the end of the year and would potentially bring Dining Dollars to Bryant-Denny Stadium and Coleman Coliseum.

Gregory Poole, a sophomore majoring in engineering, said while he is in favor of the resolution, it isn't perfect.
