No, it's pretty cool in Canada, Russia, the Nordic countries. In Alabama or Georgia it's a club sport.

Well let’s just say what most people think about the University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa branch. Its football pursuits justify its identity with an uneducated backward white population and a symbolic link to the Lost Cause they hold so dear. Football has stalled UAT’s transformation into a modern university with intellectual, aesthetic or humanistic concerns. UAT fans overestimate the “esteem” of being the last college football factory.
Also UAT’s misplaced priorities (gold-plated football fluff over economic substance) harm the state’s growth and development as the Crimson Tide football team is outlet for the lunatic fringe (Paul Finebaum, Jay Barker, Harvey Updyke, John Phillips, Brian Downing, the Sugar Bowl “lady” et al) and a venue for them to be recognized. The holy crusade of UAT football also acts as an impediment to social or economic progress. It is well known that when a university simply reflects the attitudes of its football fans..... It is no longer a university in the true meaning of the word.
History has shown that UAT fans defend the indefensible, deny the undeniable and are thus driven by extreme emotion into delusions and reckless actions. The abovementioned misfits are the predictable by-product of UAT football. The NCAA would actually do UAT a favor by handing down a 'Death Penalty' for its football team. It will be only then that its faculty, alumni and students will appreciate the scholarship and learning that mark a university with intellectual fiber and integrity. Indeed until that time “roll tide” is the mortifying apology for those without individual self-respect or dignity. And so it is…

Hockey is actually a fun sport to watch, college hockey, with good attendance can be on par with basketball. U of M Gopher hockey was amazing back in the day. South is missing out, in all honesty.

Fun to watch live. I totally quit on it after the Thrashers bailed out of Atlanta.

Almost everything is better live, but you are right, live hockey really enhances the experience.

Hockey and baseball are two I can't stand on tv but like to watch live. Every Thrashers game I went to was a blast.

I will try to make it very simple. UAT = football factory with fans of the lowest common denominator. While a simplification, the state of Alabama in general and UAT in particular would benefit from a UAT death penalty. I would not want my son or daughter to be associated with Harvey Updyke or UAT!

You Aubies can be in the pain in the arse but I do feel for you having to deal with Gumps 24/7.

I would have bigger concerns with you being a parent to begin with. Have a bone to pick or are you just angry and your feelings easily hurt? Be coherent and try again to tell us what is really eating at you.

I'm no expert, but I assume the rider like any other varsity sport.

They hockey team is my 3rd favorite UA team. If they were to make the jump to the NCAA, it would easily be my favorite UA sport. I paid close attention to the game last and this year's team is damn good for a ACHA D3 team. We're actually hosting the D3 national championship this year.

Last night's game was scoreless after the first period, but Bama went beast mode over the last two periods.
