So, 92,138 Alabama fans showed up for the spring football game in Tuscaloosa last weekend. That's a higher attendance than any regular season NFL game last season, even though people got turned away from the spring game because the stadium was full.

Not bad for a basketball school like Alabama. Imagine how many people would have gone if people actually cared about football in the state. No matter how you slice it, that's a pretty impressive turnout. Although I was a bit disappointed that Nick Saban didn't bring out Mike Shula to announce that henceforth, in Shula's honor, all field goals from inside of 10 yards were going to be referred to as Shulas in the Alabama record book.


But the worst thing about the reporting on the Alabama spring game crowds has been the responses from Yankee media members who act like the only reason 92,138 people went to the Alabama spring football game was because there was nothing better to do in Alabama during the month of April. This is just ridiculous and is a textbook example of geographism. As I'm sure y'all know, geographism is the new racism. Haven't we come too far as a country for hate language like this from Northern media? These disparaging statements are almost as dumb as every sentence uttered by hockey fans. And to put it plainly, I just won't stand for them.
