Seriously there is going to be a LOT of Alabama fans who will never be able to afford retirement after the run the Tide has been on. Hell, UGA went to the SECG, Rose Bowl and Natty in 2017 and we spent nearly $20K on 4 of us going to those 3 games and already had tickets to the SEC CG. That was one year. Alabama has been at it for what, 17????? That ain't including season tickets and AD donations, thats just post season shite. It is CRAZY...yet 75000 or so fans will do it several times a season.

Unfortunately this is the correct answer

It's OK to have art, sports, and downtimes. On the seventh day, God rested. Have some relaxation. It can't be all work.

There's a difference between putting down the shovel for Saturday football versus increasing the circuses while Rome burns.

You could make the same argument for movies, art or any entertainment form.

Wonder what Clarence would say to George about that?
