38-10 bama

i was talking more at memphis because they in tennessee.

i'll trade mississippi state for them.

wasn't a punch. he speared boswell in the face.

not really. i've just seen too many bama games (i've been to over 100). we rarely cover the spread, especially one that's that high. we also might be without our top WR (julio) and #2 RB (upchurch).

i would not take bama (-38)

haha, i'm friends with nick gentry (graduated from my high school a year after me). he would absolutely kill someone if he saw that picture. he's the only person i've ever seen break a facemask. in high school, there was a little fight on the field. he ran off the bench, jumped over a big pile of players, hit john michael boswell (also now on the bama team) in the face. broke boswell's facemask.

ok, yeah. i'm just 21. that's well before my time.

pardon my ignorance, but who's anita bryant? Denny Chimes is named after one of the former university president's, George Denny. he served from 1912-1936. it's also the same Denny that the stadium is named after (Bryant-Denny).

he's now down to a "slim" 354.

most of the UA students that wear the white button up and tie are frat guys. at UA, most of them are pricks.

you will definately see both rednecks and genteel southerners at UA. i'm not one of the rednecks, but i also don't dress up for the games. however, auburn is what we like to call a "cow college", take from that what you will. one of auburn's greatest traditions is throwing toilet paper in trees. mississippi state is the same. tennessee is pure hillbilly. lsu is completely different. they are in the bayou. real strange blend of people.

my bad, when someone says 15th, i automatically think 15th street, not avenue. i didn't even know there was a 15th avenue. but dreamland isn't but 50 yards off old jug factory.

well, if i HAD to make a bet on this game, i would not bet on bama with the 38 or so point spread. if you want to stay in the game, pass the ball. put a few WRs on the field and throw it towards marquis johnson.

the place with the "bricks" is around denny chimes. there are cement slabs of the hand and footprint of every bama football captain dating back to around the 40s. the head cheerleader just uses the microphone before the game. don't worry, we don't like it either. i've never had a hotdog in the stadium, can't comment on that. the stadium probably won't be that loud this weekend. no disrespect, but north texas just isn't that big of a game for us. that and it will be at 11:20, most of the students will probably be hungover or still drunk. if it was a big game like auburn or tennessee, it would probably be the loudest stadium in the country.

a little warning for the fans in the stadium: if we win, we have this cheer/song we sing called "rammer jammer". it goes "hey (other team), hey (other team), hey (other team), we just beat the hell out of you. rammer jammer, yellow hammer, give'em hell, alabama". link: we don't mean anything bad about it, it's just something we've done for a long time. we used to do it before the game as well, but stopped it for some reason in the late 90's. we do it after any win, no matter by how much.

a good place to park might be the rec center. it costs about $10 and you can get a free shuttle down the road to the quad. you shouldn't run into any hostility on the strip. however, there's no telling what a drunk person may do. we're a football town with a drinking problem (or vice versa), if you know what i mean. just don't start cheering for auburn or tennessee to win their game and you should be fine, haha. i think i saw maybe 4 FIU fans before the football game this past week, and frankly, i was just glad some made it. very rarely do our out of conference fans have anything bad to say after their trip. be nice to us, we'll be nice to you.

if anyone is a history buff, you can try to find the few buildings that were not burned down when sherman came through during the civil war.

people tailgate all over campus, but the main area is the Quad. it's where Denny Chimes (clock tower like thing) and Gorgas Library are. it's about a block down from the stadium. if you stop by some of the tents, i'm sure people will offer you food and drink. i'd suggest just walking around the campus. there's a few historical sites. such as Foster auditorium, where the govenor wallace stood in the school house door in 1963. also check out "the strip". it's on the other side of the stadium as the quad. bunch of bars, shops, restaurants. if you're 21, go to the Houndstooth bar on the strip. constantly rated as one of the best sports bars in the nation. also, check out the Bryant Museum. it's across the street from the baseball complex.

can anyone give me an overview of your team? maybe your tendencies, what you do on offense/defense, ect. hate to see riley get hurt. i know he had the texas offer.

if you have time, go by the Bryant Museum on university drive. it's right across the street from the baseball complex.

at the old dreamland in tuscaloosa (not the one in northport), they sit you down and ask, "half or whole (slab of ribs)" and almost assume you are having sweet tea. the sauce is amazing. pretty much the whole menu is ribs and white bread (sunbeam bread).

the VT running back only scored 1 rushing touchdown. their other touchdown came off a kickoff return.

the old dreamland is on Old Jug Factory Road, not 15th street.
