By taking the kind of action you would only find in an obscure CON LAW hypo, the University of Alabama's athletic department has taken a giant step toward eliminating the white-trash element at Byant-Denny Stadium. Still, I don't think they realize the effect of such action-- complete alienation of 98% of their fanbase. Good luck finding 85,000 gentile southern boys who own gameday blazers and pink pants with embroidered elephants. Frankly, I'm quite surprised Big 11 commish Jim Delaney didn't think this one up first. I'm sure he was quite embarassed at the site of a 150,000 buckeyes in Glendale, Arizona donning Ohio business casual attire- Jean shorts with a complentary grey sweater vest over an XL jersey. Then again, an all out jean-short (or jorts) ban in the Big 11 might force the Ohio State's football program into the MAC where it can be reunited with its academics.

Stellar find, Raul. It's saddens me that I won't be able to take in a game at Talladega-loosa before the state troopers arrive. Can't the university compromise and allow official Nike halter tops and jeans shorts?
And I agree with the one guy's assessment about the Bear, tho: recruiting violations, egregious benefits to players, a long-time refusal to recruit black athletes. Class surely did die with Coach Bryant.
