All that bad karma over the Tuscaloosa School Board election was bound to affect the Tide’s fortunes. The football team players probably didn’t even vote in the contest. But there was so much involvement by the University, its students and administration in the fraudulent election that there was a karmic consequence — getting beat by its in-state rival Auburn and ending any possibility of a third National Championship.

Members of the Red Elephant Club which shares the same Post Office  Box with the Educate Tuscaloosa PAC probably aren’t happy. They now know how people in District Four feel about the election.
