Doug Jones Wins In Alabama As The Crimson Tide Earns My Support In The Playoffs

Yep, I'm mixing sports and politics again, which is the golden sin. But something incredible happened on December the 12th that I must write about.

Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore to be the first Democrat elected in Alabama in over a quarter-century. Millions of people chose country over party. They said no to a man who has never understand the meaning of no...if you get what I mean.

Alabama football has been the perennial power in college football in today's era. Their dominance has been incredible. People, including myself, find themselves sick of winning. Their fanbase has been seen as arrogant by many people who root for teams other than Alabama. That is other people's view, not mine, so don't shoot the messenger. I would be arrogant too if my team won like that.

Alabama fans see their coach, Nick Saban, as a god, and this is in the Bible-belt. What is not being talked about is that Alabama fans are the ones who put Roy Moore, the Alabama Democrat, in office over Republican Roy Moore. Jones even got 60% of the vote in Tuscaloosa County, where the University of Alabama is located.

After weeks of thinking I'd pull for Clemson to win one in the College Football Playoff Semifinal for the ACC by beating Bama, the state of Alabama did the right thing by putting Moore in office and I believe the Crimson Tide has also earned my support.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
