Hey Prattalumni... I bet I went to school with your dad in Prattville.
Does your last name start with a Y ?
I've been in the Montgomery, Lake Martin area all my life. I'm an old man

Bear, that's him. We roomed together for a couple of years and still talk on the regular. I know him and his dad and his brother, etc. He always bragged and told stories about playing Marcus and I did the same about playing with Bo. Small world.
LovetheLord, I played organized football from peewee all the way to intramurals in college, but I never swung a bat worth a damn. The hand eye coordination escaped me. I'm better at long snapping for a punter than hitting a baseball.

Nope. My dad was originally from COLD Water/Anniston area. About the time he got married to my mother (also from the Anniston area) he graduated college and got a call to be a high school math teacher in Georgia. He turned down that job to become a computer programmer for the US government out of Maxwell/Gunter AFB. He then asked the locals what would be a good school system, and most everyone told him Autauga Co., but more specifically Prattville and thus that is where my life began.

Years ago I frequented a site called "Woolley Al" that had a poster by that name. A real pessimist if I remember correctly. Whatever happened to that website?

It died. dD made his pessimistic fame at tidesprotz

DD was just another version of William Taylor - there to drum up talk and website hits.

Not really. Willy T is a character meant to troll. DD was a true Bama fan, and grad with J.D.
He was just a pessimistic, sky is falling, can't enjoy anything type of person for fear of being failed type of Bama fan.
Not a bad guy in real life. And was not a troll by any means, just a wet blanket

Did you ever run around with any folks from Jess Lanier? I know you are likely McAdory.

Birmingham
Early 30's (my first year at Bama was Saban's first year)
Most of my family has gone to Alabama going by to my grandparents - cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. - and my dad also worked there for 10+ years.
I was running around for all the football home games pretty much all day long and the occasional postseason game given that timing (first real memory is my dad and brother talking about our new coach - Mike DuBose - driving up to the home opener that year). Also would go to a lot of basketball games, my dad would check me out of school early, drive up and get some wings at Buffalo Phil's and then hit the game. Lots of great memories.

Born and raised in Meridian; been in NC for 26 years now
56
Ole Miss alum (girl to guy ratio when I went there was 3:1; heaven on earth. That and out of state tuition got me.)
Spent falls either on a dove field listening to the game on the radio and shouting scores across the field or going to the Bama game. Dad and hunting buddies went to Bama.) Completely sold on Bama when Bob Baumhower walked through the door of our house and gave me a team signed football from the Sugar Bowl. Bob dated Sela Ward back then. Sela's from Meridian.

Man, I miss those days. I grew up the same way. Game started a 1. Doves started flying around 2.
LOL. Sounds like a guns and roses song.

Who remembers going to the Booth for 5 for 1s?
Your shoes would stick to the floor because it was so nasty, but it was the place to be in the 80's!
