This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They are trying hard to be a national school. by Domer84
As good as they are at football, they know that they are still just a large state school, with regional appeal. To enhance the image of the University, they know they need to have students, and thus alums, beyond the southeast. It's not a bad idea. I have a friend from high school, lives in Chicago, Jewish with no connection to the South whose daughter went to Alabama because of the offered scholarship. Now my friend,a dentist in the Mid-West posts a bunch of Alabama stuff on social media.
