Is "The Machine" still in existence at Alabama and does it have any influence beyond the university?

Yes and yes. But not as strong as it has been in the past.

It's basically mere formalities and people wanting to feel sacred by being included with little true political power or even understanding of how it's supposed to work, although they can still rally the troops on really big issues.
Not outside Tuscaloosa, aside from the usual shite.

It's power outside Tuscaloosa has dwindled a good bit but there are still lots of politicians and CEOs directly connected to the machine.

No one outside of college cares about the machine outside of some local guy in ttown looking for some votes

This is what I was gathering as I started to look into the political operations of Alabama.
