We spent the weekend at T-Town with my brother & SIL, oh, T-Town is Tuscaloosa for all you, non-Bama folk. It's been awhile since we went to a ballgame, and I had forgotten how packed, and simple wonderful gameday can be. We arrived 4 hours before gametime. Toured the new additions the the stadium, that seats around 92,000 people now, and the walk of champions that has statues commemorating the national championship coaches. It wasn't too hot. We stopped on the quad, for some fresh-squeezed lemonade and sat in the shade, looking at the programs, and listening to the band rehearse.
We went back to the Walk of Champions and waited on the team to arrive. I'm so glad I had the new camera that takes fast shutter pics. I got the whole team as they came in. The crowd cheered.
The stadium is amazing. It always is. The rush of the crowd, the excitment. Ah... I remembered how much fun gameday was. We had great seats in the upperdeck. Right under the skyboxes. The best view. Shaun Alexander was there, Saturday night. So was Bear Bryants 1981 Championship team. The band was great, the ball was...well. the way it has been all year. The highlight of the night was when a fan jumped on the field and ran like a moron. I loved it. He will never forget it either. Gack, If I only had balls I could do something like that too.. LOLOL After the game, as the crowd was leaving, we always get a cup collection. This year was massive. The boys carried them out over their shoulder and got so many comments. It was hilarious. They are proud of it, as u can see.
But the time there was great. I wish I could go watch Bama play Miss St this weekend... ah but, work calls. Enjoy the pics!
