Title: BR - Alabama, the State: America's "Armpit" or the Tide's Recruiting Gold Mine?

My FAVORITE line from this is "Now, if they can only stop the War Chickens from stealing recruits..."


As a non-native to the state of Alabama, I must admit I had some bad misconceptions about the state, what some call the "armpit" (or other unattractive body parts) of America.

Having grown up in Arizona and Missouri, I heard many insults about the southern states, especially Alabama.  "Redneck", "hillbilly" and "inbred" were many of the views on Alabama I've heard over the years.

Things couldn't be further from the truth.  I won't get into all the great things about Alabama, but rather focus on the greatest things about the state: college football and its local high school recruits.
