I love college football.....

I preface that remark, in that, I am overly fond of Auburn Tiger Football, then second comes Virginia Tech Hokie Football, if I have to pick a second choice. I prefer the football played in the SEC to most played elsewhere. The traditions of SEC football are too numerous to mention here, although I could. Yet this past weekend the UAT, did SEC and college football in general a disservice. The crimson and white faithful have yet to fathom the impact what they have done!

Besides the fact that they set a "glorious" new attendance record for a spring game.* *(FREE ADMISSION - with donation to the Enterprise Tornado Relief Fund) Sadly the 'Bama faithful only contributed in the neighborhood of $39,000.00 for Tornado Relief and with a new high attendance of over 92,000 plus that comes to around thirty cents a head. I thought the "'Bama Nation" loved their football. If they had just donated fifty cents from every soft drink sold it would have come to more than that.

They can glory in their "attendance figure" all they want, but in terms of compassion and lending a "helping hand to their fellow Alabamian" they fell way short. Sort of "in the RED...."

Have an ORANGE and BLUE day....
