Umm.. Guys you know the players play basketball a lot on the campus. They do lot of stuff that many of you wouldn't approve of :)

They will be fine. Let them have fun and enjoy the trip.

I agree to a certain extent. But the time to have fun is after they win the NC in January in Tampa.

Well, every bowl has many fun events for the teams to participate in prior to the game, amusement parks, bowling, friendly competition, local culture/heritage events etc. It shouldn't affect their focus. As for basketball, I'm sure it's probably some type of skills challenge or amusement park type hoop shoot contest, not a full blown basketball game.

Our players are on a 'Business Trip' to Atlanta. I'd much prefer we save any partying till we have something to party about. We don't need even minor injuries...

but they're not partying... They've been doing this for years... only thing difference is that they have 3 days this year.. compared to last few years where they had whole week. I still don't understand why it's an issue for most of you...

I posted this on another thread. Hope the activities are much more engaging than the arrival.

Interesting arrival here today in Atlanta. I must say I'm very surprised. No fanfare at all. A couple of bowl representatives with a small carpet that the bowl reps immediately rolled up as soon as the last player walked across it. No press, no ATL media, no ESPN, nothing. Pretty much like a regular game with decorated buses, that's all. Then again, Coach Saban was probably 100% happy with this type arrival. :wink:

The teams are at Mario Andretti Kart Racing tonight in Marietta. Right now Washington is there until 7:30, then Bama is there from 8:30 to 10:30. I just saw the video of Washington walking in on the Mario Andretti site from Facebook. Their site says the adult track is booked tonight but the entire place is not closed. I may try to go there later to see BAMA walk in :)

Any chance of where they are staying or what time they will be at Hall of Fame. I live in North Georgia and my 10 year old son wants sighting.

They are at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. Hall of fame is Wednesday but not sure what time. They are also going to children's hospitals that day. They could be going to hall of fame after hours but the article didn't say.

My grandson played most of the season with a dislocated shoulder and underwent surgery at Scottish Rite today. He will be one of the patients visited tomorrow.
