I was confused at first because at one time, he'd considered going to school there--they supposedly have an excellent engineering program. We even scheduled a campus tour but he later changed his mind.
Come to find out, he was talking about wanting to go to the game. Ouch! It's been awhile since any of us have been to an Alabam game--I haven't been since before he was born! But Jeff and Dylan have both went but it's still been awhile. And since the arrival of St. Saban, we've not been able to afford the tickets.
Well, that's one thing two losses will do for ya--bring the price of tickets down! lol I found some excellent seats on Stubhub.com for a VERY reasonable price so they could both go. I love to tailgate--being at the game is just icing on the cake for me. My friend,Shari and I decided we would tag along and just hang out on campus all day and then go watch at Gallettes or somewhere. But her mom has season tickets and wasn't going to use two of them this time so we wound up going, too!
At the last minute, my friend, Christy, decided to tag along even though she didn't have a ticket. We figured she might be able to find one when we got there or she could stay at Gallettes and watch--she just had to get out of the house!
We hung out on the quad all day and then the three of us girls went to Gallettes leaving the guys to walk up and down the street, etc. till gametime. Well, while we were in Gallettes, we met some very nice folks and shared a table with them. The old man bought us all a round of Yellowhammers! Then this cute guy asks if he could rest his leg up on the platform of our booth. Well, flirty me says, "sure, hun, you can put your leg there, as long as I can put my hand here..." and I put my hand on his knee! lol
He said, "hey, whatever floats your boat!" Then we all got to talking and he was very nice. He had graduated in 2000 and of course, was in town for the game. He also used to work at Gallettes blah blah blah. Well, when he found out Christy didn't have a ticket, he got on the phone, claiming to "know people".
We thought, yeah right...what a line! lol He disappeared and we decided Christy was just gonna stay there and we'd come back for her after the game. We were gettin up to leave and cute leg guy comes back with a ticket and just hands it to Christy!
We were floored! We didn't know where it was, just knew it wasn't near us but we didn't care! She hugged him and we left.
We get to the game and Christy texts me--she is in the freakin' skybox!!!! Free food, free drinks...Saban and the players walked right in front of her! I guess cute leg guy really did "know people" and hey, it pays to flirt a little sometimes! Dangit, I rubbed that leg though--that should have been MY ticket!!!! lol
We had the best time! The atmosphere at Bryant Denny is amazing! And even with two losses, that stadium was PACKED OUT!!!! Tide fans are the best! The only downside was they didn't do the Rammer Jammer! But we did it ourselves--we were having a great time!!!
Of course, my BIL has to try and ruin my fun by texting me about Auburn--like who the heck cares? I'm in God's country dangit, leave me alone!!! lol Enjoy it while it lasts, dumbass! It's all gonna be stripped! lol
After the game, we went to Longhorns for dinner and of course, met more wonderful 'bama fans. It was a LATE night but we had so much fun!!! And my baby boy LOVED his seats and had a good time, too!
We will be touring the campus Saturday morning--his application is still pending the arrival of his ACT writing score and his HS transcript. But we're not worried about him getting accepted.
He tours UAH on Monday as well. UAH will probably be the better choice for him but a big part of me hopes he picks BAMA!!! And I will actually be surprised if he doesn't!
