The Babies' First Bama Game!!!

We had a great time at the Bama game this week (thanks to Dad for the tickets)!  We were thrilled we were able to make it to a game this year, and the SEC opener at home was a great one to go to.  We loved seeing so many friends (it was a mini Sig Ep reunion and of course we spent time with Josh, Rita, and the Turners).  

Things were a little different, for Robin especially.  First off, we had to find a way to limit walking.  We were able to buy a handicapped parking spot in an on-campus lot. And did you know they have game day shuttles? All new to us.

The fun thing about this parking spot was that it was right next to the new (temporary) Sig Ep house, so we got to run inside and take a look at some of these jokers.

 

All of these boys had way more hair a few years back. And did you know T Hull wore glasses?

Then we headed to good ole Gallette’s to see the crew. Did you know they had seats in there and that they don’t make virgin yellow hammers? Win some, lose some.

On our way into the game, we had to take lots of pictures. Jay was very accommodating during this time :-)

 

Glad I got my pic made with Gene since he was at the game with the 1964 team being honored.

The first quarter of the game was pretty tough because there were too many turnovers and not enough clouds, but after that things were great. We had great seats and were even able to stretch out a little.

The tide rolled to victory 42-21!  Both Amari and Cooper rose slightly on our name list.

We let the crowd thin before we headed back to the tailgate to see Rita and crew.  It was great to visit with them. Then we caught the last shuttle back to car and fought traffic home with the rest of the state.

So there you have it, the boy’s first Bama game was a success. There were times when we thought we were crazy for braving it all (although not as crazy as Barbie going to Talladega 8 months pregnant with David or Kip going to the Alabama/Auburn game 9 months pregnant with Jay), but it was a great day.
