so true! I was in sixth grade and my dad's friend hated Jay Barker, and I was in love with him. My dad had rented a bus for us all to make the drive from Birmingham to T-Town cause it was his fortieth birthday. The whole way down this guy ranted and raved about pulling Jay Barker and how we were gonna lose, blah, blah, blah ( he was definitely one of those fans.) It made him doing well that much better! What a magnificent night!
And ( I am not sure if this counts, but it was an awesome game day memory) in 2005 None of my friends were students anymore and I had two tickets, but I couldn't decide who to take, so I sold them to this couple who was there for their anniversary and bought a keg. We pulled the TV outside, pulled cars into the yard, that we sat on around this huge screen and listened to Eli Gold, the stadium (the apartment complex was really close to BDS) and the Sounds of Alabama CD and we all got nice and schlitzed together. Other than losing Prothro (which was an agonizing moment) it was an awesome day! The cherry on top was getting to see all the Florida fans who had been so cocky walking out! HA! RTR!
