Tuscaloosa Knights

I rather enjoyed this piece. I thought that it was well written even if it was plagirized. I thought that the characters were well-developed. I didn't neccessarily like the section implying that Bear was a member of the Klan, ofcourse. I am an Alabama fan and don't like hearing any implications that one of our heroes was involved in horrible cults like the KKK. However, this piece had enough focus on the characters to not fully take over the story. I mean the back story about the KKK was not the focus and I really liked that. I also like the how the action and dialogue flowed. It seemed really natural. This piece had enough tension to keep the reader's attention while not hitting you over the head with it.
I really appreciate how the author represented Alabama fans and Tuscaloosa in general. Though there was some obvious bias I think that there was plenty of truth in it as well. Though I have never found a hairdresser that proceeded to argue about what I wanted. Anyways, I like this piece a lot better.
