Bama Bird

Seems to depend on how much attention it gets. Pro leagues don't last very long, for instance, but you can watch most of the midseason college basketball games in their entirety

Depends on the generation. Those before me would say Namath or Thomas, but Courtney Upshaw IS Alabama football to me

Male height and lack of flexibility compared to female gymnasts would be a disadvantage in the women’s gymnastics disciplines. On beam and uneven bars for sure.

Gymnastics is one of the few sports designed for differences between sexes and that's because they didn't merely change the ball a bit and recruit a bunch of women to play a male sport (which absolutely is the case with running, softball, basketball, etc.). Those sports are absolutely going to expose the sex differences in a way gymnastics will not and there's no way Biles doesn't realize this.

People don't take it seriously enough. There's an entire generation of gooners and trannies now because people collectively stopped taking things seriously

Never gave the series a second thought as the source material grew from hyper over reaction to Reagan’s America.

It was more so a reaction to televangelism than any specific political movement. Nevertheless, what made the book actually quite good is pretty much impossible to replicate in tv/film, at least for a mainstream audience.

Strange, isn't it, how 'economic growth' and 'culture' can't coexist...

In one neighborhood they'll rail against gentrification and in the next they'll rail against 'white flight'. It only makes sense by first understanding:

I heard there's a whole area around the stadium where there are bars, restaurants, tailgating happening...would welcome any thoughts on that as well.

It's pretty small actually. Depends on how you feel about crowds.

Market Square and Strip District are better bar areas imo. My personal favorite is probably The Eagle in the Cultural District (between Liberty Ave and the Allegheny). I've never been on gameday so I have no idea what the crowds are like.

Downtown is fine, really, especially compared to other American cities. Liberty Ave can get a little sketchy, but you go one street over and it's perfectly fine. Only other slightly sketchy area downtown is west of Market and South of Forbes, but that's not a place you're going to just find yourself on a Sunday.

Someone mentioned the T. It's free downtown so I definitely recommend using it.

If you need parking, look at the Mellon Square garage. It's only like $8 on the weekends and you can take the T from Steel Plaza.
