Roll Tide, Roll

We did the "loop" this Thanksgiving - sometime I'll have to explain exactly what the loop is - and ended in Troy.  James really wanted to stay an extra night so we could actually watch the Auburn-Alabama game IN Alabama.  With a lot of Alabama fans.  With a lot of people who would act crazy with him.  Maybe even someone who would act as crazy as him mom.  


Missing from this chaos are Uncle Tony and me, who also had our colors on.  If you check out the far left edge of the picture on the right, you'll see something that doesn't fit.  It was a lonely day for Barrett and Aunt Joanna, but they were good sports.  Uncle Keith had a good day with Tech winning over Georgia for the first time in 8 years.  (Even if he didn't get to see the end of it when CBS cut away to start our game - how frustrating.)

In the end, though, he was outnumbered and it was all about our game.  In the end, I don't think anyone at our house was quite as crazy as James's mommy.  (I was very careful not get to copies of my mother's pictures.)  And in the end, it was a very great game and we're still #1.   Florida win or not, national championship or not, it's been a great season.

  1. ok-are you trying to confuse me? the Auburn fan is on the left, right? Left facing the picture. Which I guess is right IN the picture.

    And YOU can be sanguine about this Florida thing, I have a bet riding on it. So cross your fingers and find your wishbone and tilt the horseshoe right side up to catch good luck because I want those Florida fans eating Gator nuggets at Pappadeux!

  3. Just thought I would let you know about East
    Alabama's new tornado policy. It was announced
    that when a tornado is spotted everyone is to report to Jordan-Hare Stadium, they are pretty
    sure that no touchdowns will be happening
    there!
    ROLL TIDE!!
