'Dixieland Delight' Is Coming Back To Bryant-Denny, Which Means 'Play For Four, Stay For Four' Is Back Too

But how long do we think this "clean" version will last?

'Dixieland Delight' Is Coming Back To Bryant-Denny, Which Means 'Play For Four, Stay For Four' Is Back Too
Libbi Farrow

The University of Alabama Athletics released a video Wednesday night on October 10th stating they were bringing "Dixieland Delight" back. Bama truly does thrive on traditions as this campus was originally founded in 1831, so yes, tradition is huge here.

But as stated in the video, all fans must follow and say the CORRECT words when they appear on the screens. If the stadium follows EXACTLY what we are supposed to do, everyone is hoping Dixie will stay.

The last time Dixieland Delight was played in Bryant-Denny Stadium was the Iron Bowl of 2014 where the stadium echoed "F*** Auburn" through the 101,821-seat stadium. So, this Saturday at the game in the fourth quarter we will hear the sweet acoustics of "Dixieland Delight" for the first time in four years. The game this weekend is Alabama vs. Missouri and it's a NIGHT GAME that's going to start at 6 p.m.

I have compiled a list of why this would be a good thing to bring back, cuss words or not.

It's been gone for way too long

We can sing it at the Iron Bowl

Carrying on tradition 

Students will stay for four

All fans will look forward to the 4th quarter instead of acting uninterested

Alumni will appreciate the old-time screaming tradition of the song

If we stick to the lyrics we are good to go!

As much as the cuss words are tempting to scream we have one shot at this and after not having "Dixieland" in BDS for some time I most definitely would not mess it up!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
