Question: Knuckle bump or high five?

[NativeTider]

Okay…I am trying to avoid that awkward moment after a big play by Bama when I turn to the guy next to me to give him a high 5 only to find a clutched hand anticipating a knuckle bump. So, my Crimson brethren let’s settle this before kickoff. Which is it going to be- knuckle bump or high five?

Nothing completes an amazing football play like a good high five. IMHO

I'm less likely to get my knuckles broke with a high five.

Knuckle bump is much more subtle. I would vote knuckle bump if you were sitting amongst opposing fans , with one or two Bama bretheren in your proximity. But if you are amongst friends, definite high five. Dont forget to include the younger fans sitting around you with their parents. Nothing goes further to cement a kids fandom than to include them in the midst of crazy celebration.

It's the big game! Hugs are even acceptable, As long as you "pat the back" of who (whom?) you're hugging.

High fives all the way. I watched the SEC Championship at Buffalo Wild Wings here in T Town with my daughter and her husband. There was a family sitting next to us with 3 girls age approx 6 to 12 and they had a great time giving high fives to all of us at our table as well as other tables during the game. Those three little girls seemed to be having the times of their lives. Great to see young Bama fans having a great time watching the Tide Roll! I sure hope they have lots of reason to give high fives next week!:biga2:

No chest bumps in the stands...too dangerous.

What is the difference between fist bombs and knuckle bumps with fireworks?

Pretty well the same, I guess. Fist bomb kinda sounds more macho.

LMAO!! I didn't think about it before my post but you are right!! Knuckle bump with fireworks sounds a little limp wristed (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Chest Bumps is out...
The strange lady sitting next to you might take offense.

Fist bumps for 1st downs and completed passes.......high fives for TDs and FGs.

Howie Mandel fist bumps, football fans high five!

Knuckle bumps are safer. It's embarrassing when you miss a high five. It doesn't even have to be your fault and you still look like a dork.

I suffered a busted nose from a missed double handed high five.

I suffered a busted nose from a missed double handed high five.

Several years ago, I saw an NFL WR blow his ACL at it. He and a teammate went up in the EZ and missed. He over-rotated and came down on his back with his left leg doubled back under him...

At the LSU game, I mistakingly attempted to give a high five to the wasted girl next to me (she came from nowhere, just stood between me and my friend, lol). She missed and slapped me in the face, hard. It was alright though, it was on the Julio screen TD. She also thought I was her fiance...
