Another 30 before 30 accomplished! Kyle and I went to Tuscaloosa for the Homecoming Game Weekend and for once, during football season in Tuscaloosa, post-graduation we went inside Bryant Denny for the game. Normally: we are in Tuscaloosa and just watch the game at a bar with friends.
The trip to Tuscaloosa took pretty much forever and a day due to construction traffic so when we arrived in town, we were exhausted and just wanted major catch up time with my bestie Heather and her momma. Plus – kickoff was at like 10:00 AM or something crazy like that so Friday night was super low key.
Saturday we got up – ate breakfast at her condo’s clubhouse and went to the sorority house for more breakfast. Don’t ask. Heather’s little sister’s boyfriend needed to eat and of course my growing husband chowed down on more fun. Then after a little stroll through the Quad and the required photos in front of Denny Chimes and the Stadium we found our seats.
The game was boring – we were those fans that Nick Saban is currently complaining about. It was hot. It was a blowout. We wanted Yellowhammers from Gallettes. We had eaten the required Denny Dog {hot dog} … so we left right at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Bad Alabama Fans – BAD!
But Saturday was less than crazy too. After a long day in the sun and being up super early after a late arrival Saturday night we were in Heather’s condo – in front of the TV by like 10:30 PM.
But we were there really to see Heather, her mom, and just to have a little bit of non-crazy, get Kyle in the stadium fun. I do remember the stadium being WAY more fun and loud as a student – maybe it was the less than exciting game we attended – maybe it is the lame, spoiled student section that didn’t have to live through the Shula days. Kyle agreed it was “pretty” but then just called it a “stadium”.
We will be back and if you’re reading this Heather – we require a better football game!!!
Aw, so glad you had a good time! It was certainly a low-key homecoming this year!
