This article is in response to a previously posted article, "Why Football Games In Tuscaloosa Aren't Fun Anymore."
Time to state that you are wrong.
Your love for Alabama football shouldn't end after your freshman year. If anything, it gets better. It is mind-blowing that a student can find Bama games annoying and boring.
As for choosing UA, 90% of the students did not attend the University of Alabama for the football program alone. Being apart of a University that has one of the best football teams in the country is simply a bonus. The University of Alabama is more than an amazing football team or a "party school," it's a great school full of numerous scholarships and great opportunities within all the colleges.
Let me explain why you should still be interested in attending Alabama football games.
1. We win... Every! Single! Same!
The joy of being amazing at football is having stress free games. This past Ole Miss game was the most fun I've had at a football game — because we were winning. It is always exciting to walk away from the stadium with a W.
Standing by Coach Saban, I'm sure that if our football team can play all four quarters, you can take your heels off and stay for four quarters. #RespectForSaban
2. The main "event" is the game.
The students get excited about game days because IT'S GAME DAY. How a student chooses to celebrate the beginning or end of a victory is up to that person.
College campuses are riddled with drunk frat guys everywhere, not just at the game. Speaking as a person who does not drink, I can assure you the point of Saturdays is the actual game.
Game day outfits are a big deal, you have to plan your outfit around standing for 4 hours. But, if you are so worried about your game day outfit, be more cautious about who you sit around.
3. What is wrong with taking a picture???
I'm sorry but if you don't want to take someone's picture just say no. No one is forcing you to. Also, I hardly see people taking pictures unless it is before/after the game, or during a timeout. In today's society, most people take pictures to remember the FUN times they had.
Getting the right picture during any event is a part of today's culture.
4. Over half the girls in the stadium do understand football.
Just because someone doesn't understand it doesn't mean they can't enjoy the game.
Not every single girl has to know the all the plays when it comes to football. It is not a crime for people to attend sporting events that they know little about, because they want to be a part of the school spirit.
Roll Tide.
