I have a sister that went to Alabama. She's the smartest of 4 kids. She majored in math and also speaks 4 languages. She has worked in Germany, the Soviet Union and currently lives in Chicago. Her ability to understand business math and contracts while also understanding multiple languages has made her wealthy. I certainly do not disrespect Alabama's curriculum. Just because it's in the south doesn't automatically make it dumb. There seems to be a bit of bias in this thread.
I also noticed that the OP is obviously a bit of homer for Alabama and that makes his point of view a bit biased as well. No offense OP.
Point is, Alabama is not just known for their great football program, but it is a great place of learning as well.
