We normally don't like to intertwine college football politics around these parts, but we'll make an exception for this.
Friday, the official Republican National Committee account tweeted the following question:
Tell us your top issues http://t.co/u6aAKiGfen Let’s win big in 2014.
— RNC (@GOP) January 16, 2014
And thus, sports fans responded. It's Twitter, did you expect people to stay on topic? College Spun compiled a list of the best football and basketball related tweets, and here are a few of the best football ones. We'll start with a question that many Alabama, Southern Cal and Dallas Cowboy fans have likely asked themselves recently.
The Kiffins. Why are they allowed in football? RT @GOP: Tell us your top issues http://t.co/q4p6Uww8Ow Let’s win big in 2014. — Ororo Monroe (@DearLeader10) January 16, 2014
James Franklin hasn't taken all of Vanderbilt's recruits with him to Penn State. It just may feel like it.
My football team's coach left to go to Penn State and is taking all of the recruits with him :( RT @GOP: Tell us your top issues

But was this tweet by Franklin himself? Or Florida assistant coach Tim Davis?
Nick Saban is the devil. RT @GOP Tell us your top issues — Deep Chatham Hokie (@TeaBagPaulus919) January 16, 2014
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier approves this tweet. If Spurrier had Twitter, he'd probably have wittily responded by now.
Clemson anit beat the Gamecocks in 5 years.. gotta change it. RT @GOP Tell us your top issues http://t.co/FLNpCdczbD Let’s win big in 2014. — Great Season (@LiveFrmCarolina) January 16, 2014
And this is a fantastic dig at the (now deleted) tweet from Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron's mother, Dee Dee Bonner.
FSU won't teach Jameis Winston English… RT @GOP Tell us your top issues. Let’s win big in 2014. — The Curve Kaiser (@DJangobama) January 16, 2014
