4. That sounds like a good thing for their economy TBH

Not sure how impactful it would be in the long run. But not a terrible move probably.

5. Absolutely Nobody Cares.

The "Space Command" is a total construct of nonsense. Nobody's flying around in space. Nothing to command.

6. No matter. Tide still LOST to FSU.

This won't change a thing

7. Ok, everyone here is making jokes, but it's important to consider WHY this change was made. It's...

...rarely, if ever for legit reasons with this crowd. On the surface, what comes to mind is CO is a purple/blueish state and Alabama is well, Alabama.

Also, why the fuck does this warrant a big deal press conference. This sounds like a mostly non story to have a tv moment.

10. Makes sense.

Must be a glitch is the system.

11. For Alabama, Huntsville ain't bad.

12. Because AL is anti

Wasn't that Tuberville's big whine for some time?
