My dad took me to the inaugural Hall of Fame Bowl in 1977 at Legion Field. The teams were Maryland vs Minnesota.

My dad also took me to my second college game, the 1980 Alabama - Georgia Tech game at Legion Field. The tickets were my birthday present that year. Little did I know that one day I'd end up at Georgia Tech and that the GT coach that day would coach at both GT and Bama.

Southern Miss at Legion Field in 1987, if being a baby counts.

First one I remember is LA Tech in 1992.

Boston College, at Legion Field in 1984. 20 years old married and with a youngin and another on the way. Was the first game my father attended as well and even in defeat was a special moment.

Either Bama vs Houston or Bama vs Bowling Green in legion field. Can't honestly recall which came first. First memory of Bama football is Jay Graham toting one 70+ yards down the sideline while Tennessee gave us our annual arse whipping. Times sure have changed haven't they vols?

Saw Shaun Alexander score 5 touchdowns against BYU. Saw Tim Rattay and La Tech beat Bama too, Bama won the SEC title that year and lost to Tom Brady in the orange bowl because our kicker sucked. In that regard, times haven't changed

Did a bunch of shrooms the night before and found myself at the game the next day. Don't really remember much else.

Bama vs. Michigan in the Hall of Fame Bowl in January 1988. The game is now the Outback Bowl. My parents took me and my brother. Bama lost 28-24.

I have been to 3 Bama vs. Michigan games with my parents. I went to Tampa again in 97 for the Blockbuster Bowl. Bama won. I was living in DFW in 2012 when the season opener was UA/UM. My parents came out and we watched Bama beat the hell out of the Wolverines.
