Why do so many of America's educational institutions languish in mediocrity, while the University of Alabama soars toward the triumphant pinnacle of excellence?
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama students and faculty won't have to worry about missing class to attend the national title football game in Pasadena.
The university canceled classes from Jan. 6-8. . . .
The top-ranked Crimson Tide plays No. 2 Texas on Jan. 7 at the Rose Bowl.
Let's face it, folks: Insignificant schools like Harvard and Yale simply lack the kind of commitment to excellence necessary to becoming a genuinely first-class institution of higher learning.
If you don't mind your kid becoming a loser, send him to Cambridge or New Haven. Only winners need apply at Tuscaloosa.

Well,
I'm glad some Universities have their priorities in order!
While Harvard and Yale are busily cranking out young communists at a feverish pitch, Alabama kicks back...and kicks off.
In fact, those of us who had the opportunity to get a REAL education in one of the fine Universities across this nation, instead of a "nose in the air" communist factory wish the Tide well.
(Uh we Texans do hope Texas has a good day.)
heh.

When the Ivy Leagues produce a Bear Bryant they might be considered to have distinguished alumni.
Heck, Eureka College has a better winning average for successful Presidents of the United States than Princeton, Yale and Harvard combined.
