I kind've like having the ad there. First, obviously the state of Alabama obviously figures they've got a better short giving their money to us than wasting it on their own inbred fans. Second, it kind've serves like one of those floating automatic pool skimmers- It sits up there tempting anyone on the board idiot enough to want to go to Alabama into following through on the urge. Since you've got to figure the odds are they'll also be idiot enough to wear orange while down there, it's pretty much a given that they'll end up tied to a chair in some cracker's outhouse-slash-study and never be heard from again. All in all, a fairly elegant way of keeping the Volnation gene pool clean...
