Good to see a lot of folks defending the state, despite the small number of goobs talkin smack.
I've traveled this whole country by car and by plane, and there are far more desolate and/or poorer areas of the United States - mostly in the Southwest.
Anytime someone gets their feelings hurt because their favorite sports team gets beat, or is projected to be beaten, by a team from Alabama, their first retort is to make fun of the citizens of the state in regards to education, poverty, etc. Such class.

stretch between Mobile, Al and Montgomery, Al as the most boring stretch
Agreed. I was hired by Bellsouth out of college and used to make the trip from Atlanta to Lafayette quite often. I had to drive by myself many times so I'd stay on my cell phone for as much of the trip as possible. This was the only stretch that didn't have cell service.

Atlanta? Nice? So very cosmopolitan...(snicker)

The majority of e-aggies post on that site yes, but a vast majority of Aggies don't post on message boards. I'd venture to say that the same 4000 people post on the Texags football board everyday, thus driving the post count sky high. 330,000 living alumni, and only about 10% post on forums.

I said it was boring not that it didn't have cell service. I've literally driven this stretch of I-65 between Mobile and Greenville/Montgomery probably 200 times and I've never had cell service issues. As boring as this stretch is it at least has pretty rolling pastures just south of Montgomery (part of the Black Belt land feature) and the "Dolly Parton" bridge just north of Mobile is kinda neat.
The interstate stretch between Opelousas (sp?) and Shreveport was far worse though. At least with I-65 between Montgomery and Mobile there is a lot more traffic and there is a little bit of interesting rolling terrain and pretty forrest. That particular stretch in LA is flat looking flood plain with little traffic to keep you company. It was like West Texas with a few more trees in the distance.

I've never been anywhere in AL north of I-10, which is most of the state. The multiple times I have been south of I-10 to the beaches, are always great. I love driving west along the coast from Pensacola's airport. Beautiful beaches. Reminds me of South Padre Island, except SPI sand is just a tad darker.

Nothing can be as desolate or depressing as New Mexico.

They can't meet Aggies in real life... the poors don't mix with the upper class in real life. Alabama is trash... the SEC has good football but thats about it....we will just have to deal with being on a different social and academic level than most SEC fans.
