You can’t get parity with Jones in such a political climate, Trippi. Stick to Yankee states, you don’t know us!

...and unless I am mistaken, Alabama is a hyoooge college football state. Quite possible more than any other (though I expect Texas might argue). Add that up with the rest of the formula, and this is just more proof that the media can’t resist trying to cheat a narrative and basically lie to their readers.
I think you can safely say that we are a huge football state. War Eagle!
In addition, most of the media, especially al.com/The Birmingham News are left-leaning rags. They are constantly appalled at the people of Alabama and our conservative views.
