It’s not a secret that I’m not exactly a huge fan of the SEC. In fact, I hate the SEC and view my mission in life as one that requires me to expose them.
However, when it comes to making sure football happens in the fall, I’m 100% on the same page as the SEC and Alabama.

While we might hate each other on Saturdays in the fall, we’re walking arm-in-arm when it comes to defeating coronavirus.
Wars often have a way of creating unlikely allies and alliances. In WWII, we had the Soviet Union and America join forces.
In the war against coronavirus, I am joining forces with the SEC.

I will do whatever it takes to help make sure Alabama plays some ball this season. You can take that to the bank.
You can also bet on me returning to prime form of hating the Crimson Tide as soon as this crisis passes.
P.S.: Finis St. John is a first ballot Hall-of-Fame name for a college chancellor in the south.
