After another store’s closing in Alaska, there is one Blockbuster left in America. One. I am not sure if I am more surprised there is only one left or that is are as many as one left.

However, when I hear the word “Blockbuster”, I don’t think about movies; instead, I think about the 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Even though that game didn’t mean a whole lot — and only about 127 people attended it — it did provide the venue for one of the more epic bowl game performances in Alabama’s storied history. David Palmer was practically unstoppable on that sloppy field in Miami as he led the Tide to a 30-25 win over a stacked Colorado squad.
