HOOVER,
AL - "Rammer Jammer" is a popular and historically controversial
chant and song associated with the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide
athletic teams. It is often played by the Million Dollar Band and sung
by fans after a Bama vict'ry. Sometimes twice when the vict'ry is
extra sweet. It used to be played prior to the game
during pre-game warm-ups with a slight twist to the lyrics, "We're gonna
beat the hell out of you..." than the current post-game version, "We
just beat the hell out of you". The meaning and lyrics of the legendary
chant are written to taunt the defeated opponent and to energize and galvanize
the Alabama fan base. The lyrics change depending on the losing
team. After the game ends and sometimes with six minutes left on
the game clock, the winning fans chant: "Hey, [insert opponent/mascot/whatever]! We just beat the hell out of you!". The cheer
is then completed with the proverbial phrase: "Rammer Jammer, Yellowhammer, Give 'em
hell, Alabama!". The name "Rammer Jammer" comes from a humor and
literary magazine published by University of Alabama students between
1924 and 1956. "Yellowhammer" is the nickname for Alabama's state bird,
the common flicker (Colaptes auratus), a medium-sized bird in
the woodpecker family. The bird is native to most of North America,
parts of Central America, Cuba and the Cayman Islands, and is one of the
few woodpecker species that migrate. "Yellowhammer" also refers to the uniforms of Confederate
soldiers from the State of Alabama who fought for the South during the
War of Northern Aggression. In Week 7 of the BDFL's 31st season, the
PowerSleds celebrated a huge vict'ry of their own with the Fairfield
version of "Rammer Jammer" on the team bus all the way back from Hoover
on Alabama State Highway 150 after trouncing the Shades Creek Sloth
Monsters 57-33.

overtime rules

VESTAVIA
HILLS, AL - The longest game in NFL history was the 1971 AFC
Divisional Playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the
Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day which lasted 82 minutes and
40 seconds. The game was decided by a 37-yard field goal in
double overtime by Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian in the second
overtime period as Miami took home the 27-24 vict'ry. For 25
years, the BDFL settled tie games with the
longest scoring play and it served
the league well until we decided to do something better to
decide the winning team in a tied contest and award the overtime
vict'ry (otv). So in 2021, the BDFL instituted a new,
unprecedented tiebreaker criteria to determine which team should
get the overtime vic'try in the event of a tied game. A new
twist was added this season (2025) with the elimination of the
"total roster points" tiebreaker criteria at #5 and now ending
the tiebreaker criteria with an electronic version of "rock,
paper, scissors" to determine the tie game's outcome, if
necessary.
In
order to declare the winner in a tied contest, the BDFL will go
down this list of the six tiebreakers below, in order, until a
winner is determined...
1. Most roster spots to score for the
game (5 > 4)
2. Most TDs scored
3. Longest TD scored
4. Longest scoring play
5. Electronic rock, paper, scissors
