state of affairs – Los Abandoned

In 2014 Seth Sanchez, a product of the 9-1-5, rushed for a school record 2036 yards and 25 TDs, but finished 5th in Heisman voting. This was not only a blow to the University of Alabama, but hurt the hispanic American community as a whole. Angry at the NCAA, Seth declared early for the NFL Draft. With Seth being the highest rated player coming out of college, it appeared that he was headed for Buffalo, who had the first round pick in the Draft. With no Heisman, no National Title and with the prospect of living in america’s armpit, Seth went into a state of a depression. He dropped out of school and decided to go on a South American (I’m talking Bolivia, Colombia, not Mississippi) road trip to do the typical 20 something event known as ……. “finding yourself”.
Seth went all over latin american and found out that his hispanic heritage was much more than white wife beaters, baggy blue jeans and drinking 40s in a low rider. He learned of revolution (so spicy), the after effects of military dictatorships, the overuse of the Zampona, hyperinflation, super hyperinflation (way to go Argentina) and selling chicklets.
sadly he also learned that the best way to make easy money was to get countryside girls to smuggle drugs into America
and smuggling laborers as well
fade music to “state of affairs”
but just before the NFL Draft Seth received a package from the University of Alabama. In it were thousands of letters from hispanic americans asking him to come back for one more year. The letters came from Laredo, Brownsville, Hialeah, Miami, Taco Del Mar, El Paso, East Los Angeles, all stating how much Seth’s play meant to them.
