Great trip. Wish we had an offense. Or at least one that knows you can pass between the hash marks.

As for the trip. Great fans, Great campus. Great stadium other than the jombtrons in the corners. Little small for stadium that size but I don't think you can fix it.

Thanks for hosting us. the suggestions made on the boa4d as to where to go, eat, what you had to see were spot on

Glad you enjoyed it

Agreed on the jumbo screens. Although I don't really know what the options are to "fix it" without "fixing other things".

Glad to hear.

Jumbo trons are weird at SF@BDS.

I like going to Columbia myself tbh.

Too bad the Tigers were down due to injuries, this would have been a much closer game.

Drink needs to stfu though.

Cheers

Oh it can definitely be fixed, but it might be a little pricey.

yes he does, but that is who he is. I would note that we had a couple guys that like cigars and they took us to a cigar and bourbon bar that was the bomb. I don't remember the name but it is located just outside of downtown in a two story 100 year old house.

It was great to meet you. Please don't tell the board what you and I did in the backseat.

Did you happen to catch the drone show on Friday night?

In my rambling epistle I totally neglected to consider that it was homecoming weekend. Hopefully that didn't throw a wrench into anything discussed. (I did notice the band didn't play on the quad this week, presumably due to the parade.)

Glad y'all made it home safely.

Had a fun time as well in Tuscaloosa, game day atmosphere and tailgating was awesome. Stadium was huge. Was a bummer that Cook got hurt and we had whatever we can call that showing with the backup. Campus was very nice. Was glad Mizzou fans showed out.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Agree on the Jumbotrons, I think they are a little small but I guess when Alabama fully enclosed the stadium in 2009-10 it limited the options.

Bama's stadium is nice. Don't know if you had the chance to visit it or not, but the Paul W. Bryant Museum is enjoyable.

agree. I went to the game last year and, even in defeat, their fans were great in and outside the stadium and at the restaurant after the game. Came away impressed with Bama as a whole.
If you want to experience the worst of the worst to to columbus for an ohio state game.

I like going there ... but the cover charges at the bars, after the games, are kinda ridiculous.
