I'm not sure why you would ever say that so confidently.

Colorado raised $54M* in liquor excise taxes in 2025.(caught wrong column)

Here is the excel file showing revenue per month by liquor type

In comparison, they raised 236M in 2025 from Marijuana sales.
It generates revenue. Just because your tourism tax in Tuscaloosa doesn't fix a budget deficit doesn't make it suddenly not a revenue generator. Unless you're also arguing alcohol and spirit taxes don't generate revenue.

Instead of burning ten figures on West Alabama Narcotics, they could instead be cutting a sin tax off the top of a smoke shop in addition to the 6% or so corporate tax on new sales. That's a huge swing in income.

Now if the state wants to be dumb with what they do with that revenue after they've collected it, that's separate from the revenue generation itself.

Having lived in Los Angeles for close to a decade, I can’t recall a single person having “a guy” for pot. You just went to a dispensary and got some edibles or what not.

No one is trying to skim $4 in taxes by using a jank, unreliable hookup that can take an hour to get to you in his 2012 Nissan Altima

In Alabama you had to have your dealer and essentially coordinate whatever time of day, or even day itself he was available to give you some generic unpredictable product. In most cases that dealer was someone in your own fraternity house

There aren’t “illegal sales” in California because, to be blunt, the cops do not waste their time on that. I don’t know anyone ever arrested for Marijuana

Pots not my thing, but it’s a bit humorous seeing how much we burned in Alabama on it and California just turned it into a generic revenue generator like cigarettes or alcohol. Once a year you might smell it in public and that’s it
Have to marry GDP and debt if you’re trying to swing debt as an angle

2022 California was at 15.6% compared to Alabama at 13.4%. Neither were close to the peak

Kentucky is 22.78% for comparison

Anyway #FreeHolloway
The easier route is that we should just... stop prosecuting marijuana
Such a non issue but good old west alabama narcotics gonna frick it up :lol:
We went like two decades starting true freshman tackles every few years

Somehow a redshirt freshman 5 star is a story?
It’s been around since 2019, at least that’s when I got my Real ID by from Florida.

It’s ostensibly just provide documents proving you’re a citizen or lawful resident, which can be done from various forms. Doesn’t take much longer than a regular license.

Just so we're clear, most concussions have a fencing motion. It's just a matter of where the impact occurs, not fencing doesn't mean the concussion isn't severe. The motion itself also isn't correlated with severity or actual recovery outcomes.

CTE isn't primarily driven by concussions either, it's subconcussive impacts.

The "TuAs bRaIn" meme is a special kind of stupid at this point. He'll do his typical hero ball decision he's been doing since Alabama and people will lament brain damage for some idiotic reason.
Tua is probably QB1 there. Penix statistically hasn’t been great and he’s coming off an ACL tear

Plus Tua’s only 2.5 years older than him

“It’s not the line missing blocks, all of our highly touted backs are just slow/bad”

:lol:


Just because there are cases that are blatantly ridiculous doesn’t mean we should continue to add to that list….

This move was incredibly shortsighted to begin with. It’s already come out via a statement that our wins with Bediako will effectively be sweeped under the rug during selections since we’ll be judged on our performance without him.

This was a lose lose move
I’m just here to point out if y’all get your way, Alabama isn’t going to be the running leader for professionals.

Ain’t nobody going to want to live in Tuscaloosa for a pro team compared to Atlanta or New York
Depth piece that presumably grew up a fan of the program

I’m cool with it. Wouldn’t be opposed to having him redshirt this year if our ST situation is also sorted. Becomes a “pull in case of emergency” option and then we’d get him next year as additional depth

He demoted a first year OC for Grubb, both of whom were previously in that structure.

That’s not shitecanning :lol:. That’s shifting a staff when your better option becomes available. And he was fine, I don’t think anyone was rattled by the OC in 2024. Playcalling was fine.

Who the frick wants to work for Belichick's clown and pony show :lol:

Should be a green flag he wasn't hired or took a job for that dumpster fire at UNC

He also coached OL and run game coordinator for UCLA when they were pumping out 1300-1800 rushing yard backs under Mora

Haywood Lloyd Racin Sanders Carroll

Pick and choose your tackle situation between Carroll Lloyd Haywood, albeit I lean Haywood guard
Y'all really want to set off a nuke to college athletics just to play Bediako for a week

Good lord
Bediako can enroll without Nate’s approval….

This sounds more like Bediako trying to scrounge some NIL for himself because the euro league ain’t offering better
