in Rising Fawn, Georgia and the son wanted to see BDS up close. What was going on there on a Sunday afternoon? There were thousands of people all around it. Were you having HS playoffs or something?

No clue about BDS Sunday, but my family always stops at Rising Fawn's Pilot gas station on our way to Pigeon Forge. Best gas station to stop at around

They are a different breed around there Pretty good people though. We stayed on top of Lookout Mountain, about 3/4 mile from the hang gliding place. Pretty views. Finally got my first look at Covenant College talent...probably good they go to a bible college.

Typical Sunday prayer.

Well, this is what I first thought. But upon closer examination I noticed that there were mom's in any number of team colors, a few girls in various colored cheerleading uniforms but one constant was the same. Every dad I saw had his Bama gear on

at Covenant College comment. About 80% of my high school went there. There are slim pickings at that school.

Ever seen a Muslim pray without his carpet?

It was some kind of football camp.

Figured it was something like that. Hell, I could have drive straight onto the field through the south end zone tunnel. Gates were open and everything. If I had a death wish but seriously, that is the closest I have ever driven to it. Son of a bitch it's big!

Maybe the recruits and their families from this weekend or AU fans trying to exercise the demons.

As far as playoffs going on, they are going on but I think they are a week or two away from the State Championships which I think are at BDS this year.
I live in Tuscaloosa and I don't remember seeing in the paper about any type of event or fundraiser going on but there's no telling. There are a lot of local fundraisers and wedding receptions that go on at the stadium and most of the time the people will rent out the zone and have it there. But, with it being a football weekend there really is no telling what it was.
Glad you got to see the stadium though. It's cool to see how it has grown compared to when I was a kid. When I was a kid and went to my first Bama game there were no upper decks, no spiral walk ways. It was just the lower bowl and over on Tutweiler dorm side there was a fire station that was basically a few feet from the stadium.

Alabama officials felt horrible for the fans after the "Dumpster Fire Iron Bowl", so they arranged another Spring Game on Sunday so the fans would get to see a competitive game with our players in uniform.

You must have missed it on Sports Center.
They were there to raise the new national title flags. They are claiming the Tour de France titles that Lance Armstrong was forced to vacate.
