Alabama's fight song is in another category of stupid. It mentions the Rose Bowl
Well that's where we got the elephant as a mascot, and we have won more Rose Bowls than all PaC 12 members except SC, Washington, Stanford and UCLA. And it was written a long time ago.
btw, is there a more pathetic, little brother fight song than the aTm "War Hymn?" The entire thing is about t.u.
I once sawed off the horns. Fun times.
When they moves to the SEC the student held a vote to see if they should rewrite the song. The majority voted to keep it as is.
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Of course they would. Stupid aggies.

Thought I'd post an excerpt from Ameer Abdullah's press statement announcing that he would be returning for his senior season at Nebraska since it exemplifies some positive aspects of college football. As background, Abdullah was a first team All Big Ten RB and rushed for almost 1,700 yards in 2013; fourth highest single season total at Nebraska. He also rushed for 1,100+ plus yards in 2012. Abdullah is from Alabama, had a very modest upbringing, and is the youngest of nine children.
"...Despite my family's tradition of completing its college education, I find myself in a very unique situation of having to decide between pursing my dream of playing in the National Football League and breaking from my family's tradition of completing our education.
While it may be true that none of my siblings were presented with the possibility of playing professional sports, it is equally true that the average NFL career, because of the violent nature of the sport, is less than five years. In analyzing these truths, I have come to realize that life is bigger than football, and that my chances of long-term success in life will be greatly enhanced by completing my college education. Although I have always wanted to play in the NFL, at this time I would like to formally announce my intentions of returning to Nebraska for my senior season.
If playing in the NFL is truly in God's plans for me, then God will again present this opportunity to me after I complete my college education."
