This is so true
This was supposed to be a triumphant day for the state of Alabama.
Tonight, all those crystal balls and Heisman trophies from the past two years will land Alabama and Auburn with multiple first-round NFL draft picks simultaneously for the first time. Tonight, all that football dominance could make Alabama the first state in the modern era to produce the top two draft picks from different universities.
It feels so meaningless now. The draft, the games, the trophies, the bragging rights ... they're all diversions from our everyday lives until real life wreaks unimaginable devastation on far, far too many people.
