T-Town & IdaThursday, Gretchen, Ally & I headed north for Anniston, AL. We went there to hook up w/ my family and have a football weekend. Alabama Crimson Tide (Roll Tide!) vs LSU Tigers (Tigers Bleaux!)! This was the SEC Championship deciding game for these two teams. The Gators already had the SEC East on lockdown, and this game decided who they would meet in the Championship game from the SEC West.Well, Friday, Shadowwisper, my dad, and uncle Gerald headed over for T-Town (thats Tuscaloosa to the rest of you) so we could get us a nice spot to set up our tents for tailgating on Saturday. We carried the RV that my uncles (Darrell and Gerald) have for just this reason. It is an old and small RV, and very uncomfortable, but it works fine for this usage. We get there , stake out our spot, get it mostly set up, and find a place to park the camper for the night...well, it took us a couple of tries, but we finally found a place to park. Saturday, the rest of the family joined us. The roster was: myself, Gretchen, Ally, Whitney (shadowwisper), my dad Joe, my mom Runette, my uncle Darrel, his wife, my aunt Sarah, their kids, my cousins, Wes and Jeri, my uncle Gerald, several of their friends, Joe Ballard, Guy and Vicki Horton, and a handful of others who showed up but I didnt get to actually meet. We had 2, 12x12 tents set up, a 32" flatscreen tv, satellite dish, grill, boiler, lots of beer, plenty of tables filled w/ food, heaters, and lots of chairs! We ate drank and were merry! Ally was all about the team spirit too!     Funny thing about the old people....they rarely like to go into the game....they would rather sit out under the tent and watch it on the tv, so the Hortons gave up their tickets and Gretchen and I were able to go in and see the game live.  these were some really great seats. Right on the north end goal line, 7 rows up.  here are a couple of panoramas of the stadium.....I took these (and all the pics) w/ my phone.   We had a great time, and....the best part....Alabama WON!!! ROLL TIDE!! Now it will be a repeat game from last year, Alabama vs Florida at the SEC Championship. I just hope for a different outcome this year! and here are a few fans that I dont know....and I am kind of glad about that!  Now that thats all over, and we are home, what do I find out??? Hurricane Ida is about to hit! this is as of 9:10 am Monday morning I am glad about this, b/c hopefully this will be a nice boost in business for my business, and i need the money! and it means we can have a hurricane party. it is kind of strange to have one this late in the year, but anytime is a good time for a party. besides, Ida is a weak little bitch, and not much of a threat! Well, as the pig says, thats all folks! thanx for reading, and see y'all on the other side! |
