President Obama with Crimson Tide players and coaches celebrating the schools 15th national championship in football. History shows Bama has won more titles in years when a democrat is president than a republican

If you are a Crimson Tide football fan interested in winning future national championships then your vote for the next president is an easy choice:

You will cast your vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders, whichever one wins the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

Even if you are a Republican you might decide to vote for Clinton or Sanders if your love for the Tide is greater than love of the political party. You might vote for a Democrat if you are even just a wee bit superstitious or a believer that historic patterns predict the future.

And this is why:

Since 1925 the Crimson Tide has won/claimed 16 national championships in football, the latest coming Monday night.

Eleven of those championships have come with a Democrat in the White House, more than double the number of titles that have come with Republicans in the White House.

In the history since 1925 and Bama's first championship, eight Democrats and eight Republicans have held office as president. In the past 90 years since that first title, Democrats have held the nation's highest office for 47 years and Republicans for 43 years.

Democratic presidents who were in office when Bama won titles include:

Franklin Roosevelt, 1934 and 1941; John F. Kennedy, 1961; Lyndon Johnson, 1964 and 1965; Jimmy Carter, 1978 and 1979.

During President Barack Obama's seven years as president, Bama has won four national championships, by far the most of any president, and a president whose last name if you drop the O spells, of course, BAMA.

Republicans who held office in national title years included Calvin Coolidge, 1925 and 26; Herbert Hoover, 1930; Richard Nixon, 1973; George H.W. Bush, 1992.

Even when looking at SEC football championships by Alabama, history should dictate to Bama fans that the football gods smile more on Bama when a Democrat holds the White House than a Republican.

In the Tide's 25 SEC championships since 1933, Democrats have held the White House in 16 title years compared to nine title years when Republicans held the nation's highest office.

What does any of this mean?

Nothing.

Unless you are a wee bit superstitious and then...
