I just wanted to share a run-in I had with some of your basketball players this past weekend. I was visiting Tuscaloosa with my family this past weekend, as my oldest son was doing a college visit on monday. We drove in on Saturday so we could see the area on Sunday before the tour on Monday. Had I had the foresight when we planned the visit I would have never of done it on the first weekend of the tourney. Fortunately thanks to technology I got to watch all but the first 2 mins. of my Cats. I did not get to see much of the other Sat. day games as I was driving.
Once we arrived we went to Catfish Heaven to eat (truly awesome food). Once there I noticed some Bama ball players there eating as well. This was after they had already played that day in Pit., and not having fared very well ( I did not see this game).
When it came time to leave, I could not help myself and introduced myself and told them why we were there. I did disclose that I bled blue, but was a fan of SEC basketball in general (except for maybe Arkansas). I apologized, but had to ask if it was ok for a picture. Even after a very rough day, the players were extremely nice and accommodating. They were just great kids in general.
As a fan of college basketball (regardless of who you root for) it is always nice when you meet these great athletes and find out that they are also just great kids. I just wanted to let you guys know you have some very good kids, who represent Bama very well. I like I told them, I wish you guys the best of luck.
