Game Day Intensity

What a beautiful site it is to see crimson and houndstooth walking the campus, tents set up, ready to cheer on the tide, grilling and drinking, throwing the football, and as always a good time with family! You guessed it, we went to the Tennessee Alabama game this past weekend. I have never been more happy in all my life for a game to be over! It was too much to handle, too close for comfort, and somehow by the skin of our teeth we pull out a W. With 4 seconds left in the game my brother and I held on to our Alabama pride and were praying Tennessee would miss the field goal....instead, it was blocked by Mount Cody! I've never been more surprised by something that in reality would never happen, it was almost like I was just imagining things. We went crazy, I think I blacked out after Wesley picked me up and spun me around, my feet dangling in the air. As I began to scream, Wesley feels the need to go 4 rows up and high five every fan he can reach. Let's just say Wesley is quite the cheerleader and makes friends very, very easily! The people behind us became our friends as soon as we sat down; they had recognized Wesley outside the stadium getting everyone pumped. They couldn't believe we were brother and sister (because he is so obnoxious, and I was more like a statue during the game, I was way to nervous). It was great sitting in between Wesley and my Tennessee fan boyfriend. They couldn't believe it, they got lots of laughter out of us throughout the game. 

Now, I don't believe in ghosts or spirits, however, Paul Bear Bryant was with Alabama durning this game. I have no doubt that he watches each game from the best seat in the house. It had to be him who lifted Cody up to block that kick. You can call me crazy, I would agree with you!

As I am sure you are wondering, Daniel and I are still together and did not fight at the game. Daniel is a good sport and I really think deep down, he was cheering for Alabama (insert wink here). He, more than I, picked at each other but all in all, it was just a lot of fun! Don't you think he would look so much better in crimson? I certainly do!

We ended our trip in Tuscaloosa at Gallett's bar where we ran into a few players. It was neat to see them go up to our 2 Tennessee fans and be so humble. Alabama really has the best fans and it was proven to me again on Saturday. 

It may look like there were a lot of pictures taken, however there were not. The game was way too intense and I was about to the point of puking!
