Bazza,

1) You're older than I am

2) At my age, they look about 12 years old.

Not a good look....
Hey Bill......

They look older than 12 to me.

But that's not the point.

They're beautiful and look like they have a lot of fun.

You can go sit with the other fans if you want. I won't judge....lol.....

I think this is at least the third thread of late that has asked this question in one form or another; my answer is still yes. I've not had the virus, do not currently have the virus nor any of its symptoms and, therefore, do not feel I'm a threat to spread the virus to anyone else. So, for me, it is about acceptance of risk to exposure from others. To counter that, I've no issue with wearing a mask, using hand sanitizer, would refrain from buying any concessions that were not in a prepackage container, and main meal would be either pre or post game depending on kickoff time. Plus, with most of you guys not going, the stadium would likely be half full at best.

Going to a game now reminds me of when I was a teenager, my friends and I loaded up to go to Six Flags one day and we encountered rain when we arrived. It rained just enough to keep people away from the park, but not enough to close any rides. That was the best trip to Six Flags ever. We walked up to every ride with no wait at all. A football game right now would be the same, nobody would be there so you might be able to sit wherever you wanted as long as you weren't close to anybody else.

Now would I go? Probably not, because the heat is just oppressive unless I would be able to sit in one of the areas that a steady breeze came in one of the entrance/exit areas.

Parks are relatively empty in Orlando right now. Same for the casinos in Vegas. Covid parties are not for everyone.

I'm not denying their obvious attractiveness.

The fact not a single one of them would recognize signs of a stroke or heart attack, though, would concern me at my age. Maybe you'll get lucky and one of them will be a nursing major who actually listens in class.

I'm the most introverted person I know, though, too.

I enjoyed the TF tailgate two years ago - and rest assured I'll enjoy it when life kinda gets back to normal - but priorities shift and while I was too dumb to not speed down gravel roads in my teens, I'm a bit wiser now.

Good deal, Bill. I hope you know my post was made in jest, also. No disrespect intended to anyone.

That said.....if I ever lose my interest in pretty women.....even those college age pretty women.....that's when I know I will be old!

I also think they are a real class act for the Alabama football program. All part of the game day experience at BDS that I hope to relish for myself one day!

If the stadium had a solid plan in place to check temperatures at the gate, require masks, and had a way to keep people from being crammed together entering/leaving, “YES” I would attend.

I respect those who say they would not attend and hope no matter the decision made by the SEC regarding the season and AD’s/Univ Presidents regarding fans, I hope we all remember we love BAMA football and we respect one another’s views on this pandemic.

No. I'm bothered by this country using a significant chunk of our insufficient testing resources on entertainers - especially when my son had to wait 8 days to get his result. I've been to hundreds of games in my life, owned season tickets for 25 years or more, 35 if you include my childhood, but I ain't going.
