[quote]yeah even counting students, no way in hell are they coming up with 70,000 people in oxford. I don't even think the entire county comes close to 70k. Google says the 2022 population of Oxford is 26k. OP's list is shite.[/quote] That's because this thread is about METRO populations (or ...

[quote]Nick Saban made the state and city a better place to live because of football. Without that, it would just be a shittier version of Mississippi.[/quote] You could say CNS had a considerable effect on the growth of UA and the Tuscaloosa area but that's about it. Alabama has natural resource...

The other ranking list and thread I posted was for SEC metro areas. This thread is for the % population growth of each SEC city apart from it's metro area population from 2020 to 2023. Suprised by the impressive city population growth rates of both Tuscaloosa and Auburn. 1) Tuscaloosa, AL - +11....

I'd hate to see college golf programs cut but it would seem like this would be a good opportunity for the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, and LIV golf to work together to fund that particular men's and women's college sport where it doesn't have to be cut.

[quote]If you’ve never driven I59 from Slidell to Gadsden, you don’t know what you’re missing—and that’s a good thing.[/quote] There are far more boring stretches of interstate some of which have been mentioned already. The stretch of I 20/59 from Tuscaloosa to Gadsden is far away the "prettiest"...

[quote]Try from Jacksonville to Mobile, that stretch of I10 is the most boring 6 hrs of mindless pine trees in existence. I've done it several times heading to La and driving to California from Jax.[/quote] The last part of that drive from about Milton, FL to Mobile isn't that bad actually. Passi...

[quote]Yes. So bad that I think I’m flying into Mobile and renting a car this year. Can’t stand another year of that drive.[/quote] As someone who lives in Fairhope (about a 30 minute drive with traffic from Gulf Shores) and commutes to Mobile, you're better off flying into Pensacola, FL instea...
