The Bear's Prayer

Each Sunday of the season, we will be conducting services to review the events of Saturday previous to the Sunday on which we are holding services. As we approach the season we will be laying out the formalities of the service so each of you can become familiar. You are expected to have meditated deeply by the time the season starts (know they Steele), to attend service regularly once the season does start (don't worry, we're not passing a plate), and come with an open heart and mind (that you may not be led astray by the evil that bears the mark of the mouse).

At the begining of each service, we will all stand and say The Bear's Prayer

Our Bear, who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Championship come.

Thy will be done,

in Tuscaloosa as it was in Birmingham.

Give us this week our weekly win,

And forgive us our penalties,

As we forgive those who penalize against us.

And lead us not into probation;

But deliver us from the NCAA.

For thine is the Program, and the power, and the glory,

Forever.

Amen.

The Season Cometh

For those of you who don't know, (let's face it, if you bother to read this there's little chance you don't already know), we here at the 'Vad have been in the process of relocating back to Tuscaloosa (you know, to more completely dedicate ourselves to the faith), so posting has been... well, non-existent.

That changes today. In preparation for the start of the Holy Season, we will be dispensing the sacraments of worship for Sunday services following each Saturday's festivities.

The first one (The Bear's Prayer) will follow shortly.
