Rammer Jammer

Pike Road’s Quinshon Judkins was the PowerSleds 2025 BDFL Pony Draft pick back in April

Sleds celebrate a huge win over the Sloths

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 Vict'ry

Sports Illustrated captured the end of the longest game in NFL history with this classic shot

The BDFL's sudden death 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
