TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Although many mistook it for a breeze, what felt like wind around the University of Alabama campus on Monday was actually the collective exhale of Crimson Tide football fans.
They had pretty much been holding their breath for a month, at least figuratively, so there was a lot of hot air involved. Just how much relief they’ll feel no one’s quite certain yet, only things were suddenly looking a lot better regarding the upcoming 2016 season.
Specifically, it stemmed from the district attorney in Monroe, La., filing paperwork that he had decided to not pursue prosecution of Crimson Tide offensive lineman Cam Robinson and defensive back Hootie Jones following their hometown arrest on May 17.
