   As expected The University of Alabama Football team will visit the White House on Monday March 8th. According to an article by Chase Goodbread in the Tuscaloosa News (which you can find here) As part of their vist the Tide will conduct a public service project,  "According to a White House official, the Crimson Tide will meet with local D.C.-area youth on the importance of staying in school and making good choices. The youth group will attend the White House ceremony with the team." Expected topics include the importance of having two oatmeal cream pies every morning, proper public speaking including but not limited to proper pronunciation of "aight" and the when and when nots to use it (hint  its always alright  to use aight). The trip will also include a tour of the White House's Blue Room, Red Room, Green Room,as well as other historically ceremonial rooms on the White House’s East wing. These rooms you may remember where named after the late Secretary Suess, the first and last Secretary of color inappropriate foods and silly rhymes

Ham Bagby and Greg Staggs sit down after a show taping to record some songs for us.

   Nick Saban is bigger than God. According to the Birmingham News, "Nick Saban may not be bigger than God in Alabama, but he has more fans on Facebook." And we all know that Facebook is a place where truth can be had.
    The conclusion that Saban has more more Fans than God was made by Pete Warden, of Fan Page Analytics ranking. The Birmingham News stated that Warden  "...noted that God is "almost always in the top spot" in the South, with some exceptions. Oklahomans picked the Sooners first and God third, for example, and Florida favored Starbucks over the Almighty. Urban Meyer didn't even make Florida's list."
    The Westboro baptist Church, the ass-holes, who recently gone around picketing claiming that the earthquake in Haiti was because God Hates Haiti and the quake was a sign that the end of the world is coming surely have Nick Saban on the picket list now. Don't be surprised to see them in Tuscaloosa next season picketing our Dark Lord with "God Hates Nick Saban" and "God Hates Debbie Cookies" signs.

   Well That's Cool does not bring you crap. We  pride ourselves on being crap free. Too once again prove that we that we are un-crap we are bring you are great show this Tuesday at Egans.
   welthatscool.com is set showcase two bands straight out of Austin Texas, La Snacks and Transmography. You need to be at Egans to witness the Drunk Fun Time Tour. If there is anything we as Tuscaloosains can do well, it is get behind a drunk fun time.
   La Snacks has garnered many favorable comparisons with Pavement, The Onion AV Club wrote: “The blissfully slacked-out La Snacks would have found good company in the mid-’90s sandwiched on a Pavement/Archers of Loaf bill, but even Pavement rarely wrote songs as simultaneously snarky and reverent as “Emo Kind of Love.”"
   Austinsound.net said that Transmography is "...industrial thwamp of experimental rock that coheres in abstract rhythms and explosive instrumental freak-outs."
   You should just come on out to Egan's this Tuesday and and find out for yourself. These guys are on tour for the rest of the month, show some support so we can keep getting great bands in Tuscaloosa.
