I’m a bloom-where-you’re-planted guy so I would be content pretty much anywhere. I’ve been to a lot of places and enjoyed visiting, but I’d rather be in Alabama. We have our warts of course, but there are a lot of great things about living here, especially if you like college football.
Wow. Powerful. My first intro to Bama football was as a Pacific NW 19 year old Navy guy stationed on a submarine in Charleston, SC in 1980. A new guy on board was saying things like “the Bear”, “Roll Tide”, and “National Champions”. I had no idea what he was talking about. No one else on board coming from the four corners of the US were as consumed with their hometown college football teams. I since moved to Alabama and learned firsthand how idolatry can creep into fandom, and then take over if we let it. Great article, Lance. Thanks for sharing.
