Respectfully, we are not talking about different things. I think we are talking about the same idea, just saying it differently.
Money drives all these decisions. I think we all agree....

[quote]College athletics has just about lost me. I mean, I know this will make the team I cheer for better, but it's just stupid.

Bandwagon fixin’ to empty out?
Posted by TomFromBama on 3/5/24 at 11:39 am
Hate to be a downer, but I really think we are going to see the bandwagon empty out in short order - and a lot of our Frontrunner fans bail out……
Our last three season we went:
13-2 Won the SECC Game, and lost the NC game ONLY due to multiple key injuries;
11-2 but missed the SECC and P_ayoff...

To be perfectly clear, I am 100% pulling for CKD to kick butt and take names!. I hope he’s our head coach for 20+ years and that we are all crying when he eventually retires with a stack of NC’s and at least two statues on campus!!!!. I [b]really do [/b]hope that’s what happe...

Let’s hope it’s a good “mojo.” Remember, Rich Neuhiesal had fun practices and great “mojo” too.

re: Gameday Options - Where to stay?
Posted by TomFromBama on 2/25/24 at 8:54 pm
We drive from Mobile, and usually stay in Meridian. To and from Tuscaloosa is about a 90 minute drive on a very decent stretch of interstate highway; the hotel rates are NOT raised at all on game weekends, and there is almost ZERO game day traffic coming or going....

Still there, as others have noted.
I haven’t been in years. But they used to have a “jam” night and local musicians wouldn’t come and play. Occasionally you’d even see local guys who were touring with nationally known bands....
