Natty Champs Parade/Celebration in Tuscaloosa?

[Nemesis44]

First and foremost ROLL TIDE!!!! Congrats boys, I couldn't be prouder!

I live in Meridian so I don't get much news from T-town. Can anyone enlighten me on the dates/times, when they become available, for the parade. :BigA:

I was informed it will be sat at 2 pm at stadium no parade. No autographs first 50,000 get a poster

It was posted in another thread but here are all of the particulars you need to know. UA Gameday

There's a link also in the marquee at the top of this page. I'm very surprised this subject isn't getting more attention than it has so far.

So who is going? If the stadium is not FULL it will be a disappointment to me! That would be like a slap in the face to these young men. Just saying.

If Vegas had a line on if the stadium would be full or not I believe that would be the safest bet EVER.

I sure hope you're right. Do you think getting in line at 6:00 AM will get us in the stadium?

i so want to go! but i just drove to Pasadena and back!! trying to see if i can convince myself to drive the five hours there and five hours back to go to the celebration!

Might have to drive over from Athens. That would be awesome to attend.

I'm breakin' my neck on work and "honey-do" to try and free up the week-end.

If I'm not there, it won't be because I'm not trying!

ROLL....Roll....Roll.....:biggrin:

I'm driving down for the HOUR long program, but I am VERY dissapointed in the planning for this. I realize that the weather is a factor, but why not move it to the next weekend???

 

[ART]

YES!! We are going. Leaving Friday. See you all there. :biggrin:

 

[TIDEnGA]

I plan to be there, but I was hoping for more along the lines of being there by 11:00 a.m. 6:00 really? You think?

 

[TidePrice]

if by Natty champs do you mean National or Natural, as in the beer? haha sorry for a min a had a "college days" memory

 

[Rollintide80]

I will be there, can't wait!

I had planned on going, but with the rain and no parade, I've decided against it. I might change my mind and stay for the bball game that evening. Several of my friends went to Pasadena, but aren't going to TTown bc there's not much planned. Most don't want to drive down there for an hour long event.

Plan for a full day and go see the Basketball Game. Are all gates going to be open? I haven't found that on Game Day.

Honestly, I kinda feel like the University dropped the ball on this one. I don't want to say slap in the face but...

Article about the logistical issues and why they didn't have a parade:

Thanks for the article. I still think this could have been handled better and a parade should have happened. If there was a parade, I would be there with my family. I have little kids. I don't want to stand in line to get in and not know for sure if I will even get a seat.
I'm sure it will be good and I hope everyone has a good time.

I can assure you the stadium will not be full, regardless of the weather. The lack of a parade is a real disappointment for me. As fleeting of a moment as it is, there is still something more personal about the close proximity of players and fans along the parade route.

The men's team is in Arkansas on Saturday aren't they?
