Iron Bowl Plans?

I had already spent too much money going to games this year, so I'll be yelling "ROLL TIDE" loud enough that they can hear me in Auburn. I'll probably watch it at my brother's house. I'm sure Sidelines will be packed to the walls.

WAR EAGLE

I suppose you could call it an Iron Bowl party, but nothing special... same as last year and the year before, etc.

We Tide and Tiger fans will have a morning hunt (+) followed by something on the grill. It really will be “something” as in mystery meat because we usually forget to label the freezer wrap.

After the afternoon hunt, we’ll dress any deer that may have been taken, then gather around the TV in the old cabin munching on smoked venison and sipping branch water getting warmer by the fire while we watch AU make it 6 in a row.

After the game, the Tiger fans will be saying what a good game. Tide fans will be saying wait till next year.

Same as last year and the year before, etc.

War Eagle

Realizing my plans for the day may upset some Tide fans, let me remind you I had to endure it in 1978 when Tide was going for their 6th. And again in '79 and again in '80 and one more time in '81.

Gotta go. Deer down.

Which Saturday is the ballgame? I guess your talking about the Alabama/Auburn game? Where is it? Physically, I mean.

ballgame? what ballgame?

Thank goodness! I can't get down I-59/20 or either of the side roads home when the game is in Tuscaloosa. Hate that.

This is my first year to say "Roll Tide".

I have always pulled for Auburn. With the birth of our son I promised to ditch the orange and blue gear for Alabama stuff so as not to confuse our son (?). You'll have to check with my husband for the reasoning on that one

My daughter is going to Auburn, tho...I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

So, uh, Roll Tide, I guess.

Okay...just read the above then checked my email and found this from an uncle;
Visitor's Guide to Birmingham, Alabama...
Driving Information: Birmingham has its own version of traffic rules...

1. The truck with the loudest exhaust goes next at a 4-way stop. The truck
with the biggest tires goes after that (Note: Blue haired ladies driving
anything have right-of-way anytime.).

2. To find anything in the city, it is required that you know where
Malfunction Junction is. Which is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. It is one of only two "cloverleaf" formation interchanges in the
world. We invented it and only one other city was stupid enough to
implement it again. > > Atlanta, Georgia - making them dumber than we are.

3. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The evening rush hour is from 3: 00 PM to 7:00 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning and
runs thru Saturday at Noon. If the term "merging delays" is ever used by the person reporting the traffic, even in passing, call in to work and
tell them that you will be at least 30 minutes late regardless of where you are in your commute.

4. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be (at the very least)
rear ended, cussed out, and possibly shot. This applies to male and female drivers alike.

5. You must know that "I-459", "I-59", "I-20", and "I-65" are the same road. They just loop around the city. We think this was a ploy to confuse outsiders and discourage visitors after the Civil War.

6. Always, always, ALWAYS find out if it is a race/ballgame weekend before you get on any of these 'roads' to travel somewhere. If it is a race/ballgame weekend, stay home or go with the flow. You won't be going anywhere else.

7. Construction is a permanent fixture in Burmin'ham. The barrels are moved around in the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting.

8. Watch very carefully for road hazards such as deer, skunks, dogs,
barrels, cones, cows, horses, potholes, cats, armadillos, pieces of other cars, possum, truck tires, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, and crows or vultures feeding on any of these items.

9. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been "accidentally activated..."

10. The minimum acceptable speed on "I-65" (see item 5 above) is 85 MPH.
Anything less is considered downright sissy. This is Alabama's State Highway Sponsored version of NASCAR. Especially during rush hour (see item 3 above) when it's 85 and everyone in the city is driving at once, bumper to bumper. If you are in the left lane and only going 70 MPH in a 55-65 MPH zone, you are considered a road hazard, and will be "flipped a bird" accordingly.

12. Do not gawk at the woman in the car beside you in traffic who is
applying make up, talking on a cell phone, drinking a Diet Coke, smoking a Marlboro, and maintaining a steady speed of 85 mph on I-65 in rush hour traffic. If she is coming from North of Birmingham she might be packing.
If she coming from South of Birmingham she IS packing and is not afraid to use it.


Happy Motoring!

Be here for the Iron Bowl!

Those of us slightly west of B'ham are packing, too.

I actually ran OVER a box spring on I-59/20 late one night. Just ran over it. I was between two big trucks in the middle lane and there it was - had no choice. I do have three friends who have each flipped cars due to debris in the road.


Don't forget the ever popular going from the far left hand lane to the far right hand lane to make sure you get to exit on Hwy 31 at rush hour, with NO signal.

vick,

tell ya what. I'll take Auburn and 1-1/2 points.

For a buck.
