At around 11:40 CST, Charlie Gibson of ABC News gave a shout-out to Alabama football.

They were talking about the reaction of the world to the election and one of the correspondents held up a British paper that read 'Gobama!'

When they cut back to Charlie Gibson, he said that at first he thought the sign said, 'Go Bama.' Then he made a comment about how the Crimson Tide is ranked #1 in the nation.

I have a seller's account on eBay with "Bama" in the name. I've hada couple of buyers mis-read it and comment about Obama to me...

Davefrat and Dayhiker, this was not a political post and I hope you didn't take it that way.

It doesn't matter whether it was election coverage or in the middle of a Rachel Ray cooking show, it was cool that they put Crimson Tide football front and center for a moment.

Not at all. My post was referring to all of the ones I deleted.

Re: Ponder this, especially if you're unhappy with last night's results:

After each of the last four elections in which the US has elected a Democrat to his first term in the White House, Alabama has won an MNC within 26 months.
Starting in 1934, every national championship won by Alabama has occurred during a Democratic administration or in the last year of a Republican administration where the President-Elect was Democratic.

So, the political landscape bodes well for our NC chances.

Digging back four years for this. Unfortunately, for those disappointed in last night's results, a correlation of any kind for Obama's second term is hard to make. For the four Democrat presidents I noted four years ago, in their combined second terms, Alabama has won combined total of zero titles; but there was, for those four, only one second elected term - Clinton's.

What did Rhyno do to get suspended for so long? I used to enjoy his posts...
