The government of the State of Alabama has better things to do, bigger things to worry about. That’s what folks, some folks at least, are saying.
But to critics of his Monday resolution urging Auburn University to recognize seven additional national championships (for a total of nine), Sen. Tom Whatley, R-Auburn, has a reply.
“I mean, we also passed a resolution honoring Tim Hudson before that,” Whatley said. “These are just nice things to do for people.”
So yeah, Whatley wanted to do something nice for Auburn people, the people of his district.
In June, Auburn’s Athletic Department officially said no to acknowledging additional national championships.
