If you’ve ever driven I-20 through the deep south, from Atlanta to Meridian, for instance, you’ve noticed the football billboards as you’ve approached Tuscaloosa, Alabama, from either direction. They’re promoting the on-campus Bear Bryant Museum, a shrine to Crimson Tide football and the legendary coach. It’s the slogan that gets me every time that I pass one of the signs: “where the season never ends.”
With Bama’s loss to Georgia last week, ending the College Football Playoffs, we’ve entered the “College Football Doldrums.” So, it’s nice to know that there’s someplace where the season never ends. Though I admit that I’ve never stopped in to visit the Bryant Museum.
