This page is great Bama Rewind YouTube


His are very good and most likely my favorite Alabama YouTube channel. I subscribe to his videos. He has practically all of my Gene Stallings era videos within the playlists he has created.

I seriously can't recommend his channel enough.

You got triggered by our athletics department choosing to show women's golf at 2 am.



2 AM for you maybe. Look at my location underneath my name and check where I live. I'm six hours behind. That shite is prime time for me.

I watch golf in general. Rarely do I get the opportunity to watch college golf, unless it is the post season or a big tournament.

Those girls deserve every bit of attention as the football team. Keep in mind the more exposure these programs get, the more it helps their recruiting. I understand just being a football guy, but there are a plethora of student athletes that deserve coverage and appreciation for as hard as they work.

I don't think I'd have cable if I lived out there.

I can respect that argument.

But so long as college sports like women's golf exist, the chances of the NCAA Football video game franchise ever returning to stores remains low/non-existent.

That is why I couldn't care less about them.

I gotta hand it to you. I think you suck at life, but you are consistent with the schtick of posting in every thread of how you only care about football.

Would you believe I have a signed Kayla Hoffman leotard hanging up in my bedroom back home?

You dislike collegiate sports besides football, particularly Title IX sports, because you're salty about a fricking video game?

I don't mean to sound self righteous, but you sound like a jackass.

If not for football then this network doesn't even exist.


If not for federal funding for the University and tuition payments from students the University doesn't exist and there is no football.

I guess we should just show C-SPAN or Biology 101 on the network then.

And while I recognize that there are other collegiate sports out there, I only acknowledge one sport in college and that is football. Otherwise...I really love watching the NFL, MLB, the NBA, the PGA, and Olympic gymnastics when those are on television.


Nobody is telling you that you need to be a passionate Gymnastics or Men's Golf fan. People are just saying that constantly complaining and talking about how stupid our other sports are and how they don't matter is irritating.

Do your own thing, but don't openly belittle other people in other sports who chose to go to Alabama, wear crimson and represent the University.

When have I ever called those sports stupid? I just think it stupid for some of them to be on TV. That's all.

Half the students attend that school because of football. Our university's enrollment has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 10 years thanks to that team's success. The reason why Denny is considered to be the university's greatest administrator is because he grew Alabama into a school to be respected. Know how he did that? Football.

And Alabama could easily survive as a private institution. Other schools have successful programs without having to rely on federal funding. So football can theoretically survive without government assistance.

Theoretically women's and men's golf could survive without football. They'd have to make changes but private schools, D2 schools and D3 schools do it with ease. If everyone removed football then everyone would would at square 1 with other sports and they would adjust to be able to survive and break even.

So, again, this argument is dumb.
