Can you imagine if we (by some miracle) got into the SEC? We'd get our ass kicked for the first few years, but I bet we'd rise to the occasion (its amazing what some extra funding would do).
Guess I can dream.
i was talking more at memphis because they in tennessee.

i'll trade mississippi state for them.

I love it when dudes punch other dudes in the facemask. Its Badass!!!
wasn't a punch. he speared boswell in the face.

Look at you drinkin' the green Kool Aid.
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.

--- Not surprised...Haven't heard that name in years... (30 maybe) I think she was a former Miss America and she was from Florida? and as spokesperson for orange juice, a Bible thumper, and did something that ticked everyone offf.... She dissappeared from the TV-screens shortly after that.
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).

That mountain has some serious wheels for a 365 lb kid.
he's now down to a "slim" 354.

I doubt that Bama, Auburn and Ole Miss are lacking in redneck support...but I am a big fan of the students in the white collared shirt and team colored pants and tie next to the southern beauty in a sun-dress in the front row of the students section that these schools always seem to have.
most of the UA students that wear the white button up and tie are frat guys. at UA, most of them are pricks.
-
Don't know if there's any truth to this, but I've heard there is a pretty stark dichotomy in the SEC between redneck and genteel southern fandom. Schools like Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss observe more genteel traditions, and others like Miss. State, LSU, and Tennessee have a much higher overalls-and-straw-hat quotient.
And then there are always Yankee carpetbaggers like Urban Meyer...
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.

Been to the two previous bama-unt games and here's a couple of things i remember.
Partied on the strip the night before. Except for some good natured ribbing, everyone was cool. At one bar the band asked us if we still had a kick ass music school. That was funny.
Do walk around campus, it's worth it. In one area that have bricks in the ground with the names of famous athletes and other Bama alumni (i think). Their frat/sorority row is ridiculous. The campus just kind of reeks of history.
Check out the alumni cheer squad or dance squad. Extremely bizarre.
The gameday experience is ok, not sure if the head cheerleader still uses a microphone to get cheers started. Really annoying.
Worst hot dog ever was at Bama.
Honestly, i liked hanging out the night before and the pregame much better than the gameday experience. Not real loud (granted 3/4 of the fans there will have never heard of North Texas) and it's one of those places where it's just the thing to do. I'm glad i checked the box but i wouldn't go back there.
my two cents.
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.
-
I'm sure the choices will be obvious once we're there but where are the best places to park? Also, will we experience any hostility at the strip of bars since we'll obviously be showing our school colors? Thanks for the information!
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.

I will be there, recommendations for tailgating areas to wander thru?
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).
-
Yes, but it is a little misleading. Tackles for loss/sacks took away 55 yards in the two games. Williams, a freshman RB for VT had 13 carries for 71 yards and 2 tds. FIU didn't run much. Their top two backs only carried five times for 25 yards. One FIU back had 9 carries and only gained 5 yards. So the three RBs that had some success gained a total of 96 yards on 18 carries, or about 5 ypc. We should be able to match that but we have to keep Tune protected.
the VT running back only scored 1 rushing touchdown. their other touchdown came off a kickoff return.
-
Tuscaloosa is a fine town and the campus is really pretty. Everyone I've met from Bama have been good people. You'll get some ribbing, but they'll also be glad to take care of you.
Also, go eat at Dreamland BBQ... the old one off 15th. Good pork ribs and stupid-good fresh-made banana pudding.
the old dreamland is on Old Jug Factory Road, not 15th street.
