Bama’s light show was about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen

The amount of brain power per capita in N. Alabama is probably as high or higher than most anywhere else in the country. It’s quite literally the Silicon Valley of the south. Legit rocket scientists live there.

As for the rest of the state, eh.

Birmingham isnt terrible but I would say everything south of that until you hit the beaches is pretty awful

"N. Alabama" is spreading the credit far too far.

A family member on my wife's side married into the Elkmont, Alabama, community and lived there a while. We visited. Those folks, the whole town's worth, are just as dumb as bricks.

Elkmont is even further north than Huntsville.

I'm in total agreement with Huntsville being a beacon of light. But its beneficence does not spread beyond the city limits.

In short, Northern Alabama is just as ignorant and backwards are the rest of the state. Huntsville stands entirely alone. [but i do like Mobile, too, fun place full of nice folks]

Florence, Athens, Huntsville, Scottsboro, and Jackson county and even into Tennessee...all commute into Huntsville to work NASA, Army R&D, and MDA. Once you hit south of Arab it starts getting all deliverance. North Alabama is not “Alabama”.

So the University of Alabama funds public schools in the state? I just dont get your connection with the money that the AD makes at Alabama and public education in the state. Your post is inferring that either the University is responsible for public education funding in the state or that the state funded LED lights at BDS. Surely you dont think #50 in education rankings is the ranking of the University.

Are you a bammer troll? He's simply saying that the money spent on the stupid lights could be spent on education. It's a pretty simple post that you're twisting around in a failed effort to defend it.

You do realize that the population of Elkmont is about 450 people right? Thats like going to Oakdale Tennessee and saying that everywhere in north east tennessee is like that.

No, I am not a troll scooter. Money spent on those light have dick to do with money spent on education in the state. It's totally different money. I agree, its pretty simple and some of you knuckleheads should get it, but you dont lol. I couldn't possibly care less for the lights, but stop with the narrative that the University spending the money on those lights has anything to do with the deficit in funding for the public schools in the state. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Bama's <fill in the blank> is about the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

This should save us from the need for dozens more new threads as the years go by.

Actually the University is ranked #153 in National rankings(UT is 104) . Higher education in Alabama is ranked #45. I did say in my original post I realize no public tax money is used, it's just the perception that most people in the country have that Alabamastan is a third world backwater state. And by the way I was a freshman in 65 when the vols ran through the T for the first time against Army and thought(and still do) that it is one of the great entrances of any sports team.

University rankings are "foggy", as the individual colleges have wide and varying degrees of academic standards, for example Business Insider ranks Bama's law school as the third best public law school in the country, while US News ranks the Bama law school as #26, business 54 and nursing 104. Bama is a very good Public University, I am not addressing the k-12 that is a different animal.

That is an excellent way to look at it. In Alabama the closer you travel to Tennessee the smarter and better it gets. The further away you travel the dumber and more inbred it gets.

Me too. A flash in the pan. Give me the football game, the marching bands, the cheerleaders, the tradition. Reminded me of Uncle Sam's, the Alcoa Highway disco that was hot in the 1970s. Now all they need is multi-colored lighting under the field. Last thing we want is to copy something from backward-ass bammer.

Another way of looking at rankings is the USN&WR National PUBLIC Universities ranking. UT is 44th (moved up 7 spaces this year) and bammer is 72nd.

Yep, got a chance to meet Chancellor Plowman Monday at a reception. She pointed this out. She is very, very impressive, think we finally have a leader as Chancellor. Now if Randy Boyd will just stay on a Prez we will have the best leadership we've had this century.

I could see something like that at UCF or Boise State or a program trying to make a name for themselves. A program like Bama shouldn't have to resort to gimmicks like that. Not to mention it's nauseating.

Its the same perception for the state of Tennessee as well and one that is equally as ignorant and befuddled as your drivel.

So you aren't really very smart, sure hope to hell you didnt graduate from UT. Best states ranking:
Tennessee #30 and Alabamastan #49, thank God for Lewsiana.
