Curious question (about visiting Tuscaloosa / visiting BDS)

[YellowHammerTime]

I was in Tuscaloosa for the weekend and was wondering something. How many of you have either never been to Tuscaloosa or to a game? I'd love for everyone to experience the magic that is Bryant-Denny and all the great things Tuscaloosa has to offer.

I made my first trip to Tuscaloosa a few years ago and loved it. The Bear Bryant Museum was awesome, then seeing all those SEC and national championships in concrete, the players and Coach Saban walk in and then watching Alabama beat LSU. I was smiling like a butcher's dog.

The last time I was there was so long ago (1992), I can’t imagine how much it has changed.

I used to go with my Dad back in the late 60's, early 70's. Back then most home games were played at Legion Field.

I just managed a handful of games in T-town since I've lived in Texas and NC for the last 10 years.

But growing up only an hour from campus, it never got old nor did I ever take it for granted!

If I never go to T-town again, my heart of full of memories from when I was a little boy going to games in the 70's at LF and at BDS as I got older.

I will say there is nothing like being present with 100K others, feeling the hair stand up on the back of your neck when the MDB plays "Yay Alabama" as Bama takes the field.

If you are a Bama fan and you've never gone, bite the bullet and do it. You won't regret it.

My first game was in 1973 in Tuscaloosa. I was with my dad and Bama broke several NCAA records that night against Virginia Tech and Don Strock 77-6.

Went to the (a must see) Bryant Museum later and all the local eateries and watering holes.

Been dozens of times since.

Tuscaloosa is one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation.

I went to school there in the late 60s/early 70s, went to a few Shula-era games, went with two g'kids to an A-day game after Saban arrived, and went back this spring. Most of the important "bones" of the campus are still there, but bigger and much nicer. Everything is bigger and much nicer.

The sports complex is amazing, and the Bryant Museum is definitely worth seeing even for someone without ties to UA. That describes my husband. After a full day, he was effusive about the university, the campus and the students. He's not ever effusive. It surprised me and made me even prouder of the university!
