Notes from Nashville

[Houndstooth]

- I was very dissapointed with the loss, but was not surprised with the offensive performance we had based on the injuries. I was surprised with how poorly the defense played. To their credit though, they were on the field for a long time.

- I believe the officials were from the Big East. Does it really matter, though, we haven't got a break on a call all year long. As bad as we played Saturday, the touchdown they scored after the "fumble" that wasn't a fumble was the difference in the score. Glad to see Coach Shula fired up about the officials.

- The club level amenities were unbelievable. While I sit outside through rain, sleet, snow, etc.. to see Bama football, my wife would have really enjoyed the big screen TVs and sofas in the enclosed portion of the club level if there happened to be some inclement weather. BTW, did you notice the number of skyboxes at the Coliseum? The Titans are bringing in some cash.

- In my opinion, the classless Minnesota band played Rocky Top on purpose. I could be wrong, though.

- How pathetic are the people that come to an Alabama game with their Auburn and Tennessee garbage on? If they're such fans, they should be at their respective bowl games cheering on their team. These desperate excuses for fans are exactly why we believe they are more occupied by Alabama football than they are their own team.

Opinions?

It's kind of hard to play Rocky Top accidently. A hundred monkeys playing a hundred instruments for a hundred years could not produce so horrid a tune.

The club amenities were very nice. I'm wondering about what they were thinking with the bathrooms though. There should have been more available.

I'm right with you, Houndstooth. The club level was great, the officials were horrible, and UT garb was sickening. However, most of the Nashville locals we met down there were gracious and friendly. Much nicer than Shreveport where the locals seemed irritated at the extra crowds in the their smaller town and used the bowl game to jack up prices on everything to absurd levels.

This is the 2nd MCB,I hope BAMA never goes back, the stadium club level was not user friendly: In trying to leave, we got stuck trying to use the stairs, why was the police not letting folks walk down? also the lack of Men's rooms and consession stands. The traffic around the stadium in leaving was awful,never saw any police directing traffic, we finally left on a side street and went all the way through downtown staying away from the interstates.

My wife and I have never had a bad time up in Nashville, but we decided we would never go back to that stadium, Bryant-Denny is far and away the better user friendly stadium.
:frown:

I have to say my husband and I had a great time at the stadium. No bathroom or concession problems whatsoever. I guess we got lucky.

RTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nashville

RobK, you're right about the locals. They were very gracious. The night life in Nashville is wonderful. We make that trip each time we play there.

Bamafan in Germantown, The bathrooms were not a big problem for me, but the access to and from the club level was awful. It took us about 20 minutes to get to our seat after we entered the stadium. Other than that, I was happy with the amenities.

I go to The Collesium for almost every Titans home game, the only difference's I saw were,
1. The Traffic, traffic has not been that bad in ages. Made me wonder whose idea it was to send everyone to the opposite side, that almost never happens.
2. Concession stands were very slow, I left my seat with about 2 minutes left in the 2nd, and got back to my seat right as the MDB was starting. I had about 12 people give or take 2 or 3.
Other than the parade of fans coming up 65 :biggrin: it wasn't that bad.

Before we condem UM for playing rocky top, just remember we cheered OU for chanting Roll TIDE!!! to fRan during the 77-0 romping he got. I do wished they had chose something other than crocky flop, but hey so be it.
