Roll Tide, this one was a long time coming. I remember the ‘92 championship. I watched ‘Bama roll up on the U in my in-laws house in Plano, Texas. But that’s not important right now. What is important is answering these ever important questions…
Is it 13 National Championships or 8?
Alabama claims [...]

Why do the blueberries go to the bottom of the muffin? It’s kinda of a waste of the top part of the muffin. All that berry goodness sitting at the bottom of the muffin…
Just had a kid complain about having to make 9 pretend milkshakes. What do you do with that? [...]

Nobody is pickin’ ‘Bama. I love it. Everyone is impressed with the speed and athleticism of the Gator offense. Let ‘em.
