Barrett Shelton Jr. notes Alabama highway deaths rose by about 35 last year and 13 so far this year. He argues troopers are pulled from patrol to other duties, including transporting children, weakening traffic enforcement. He recalls Bear Bryant’s Sugar Bowl prep in Mobile and a Rebel fan’s snow prediction that Alabama would beat Mississippi, which came true.
