I made the trip in 2011 and my brother and I didn't decide we were going until the Tuesday of game week. I had a good night at the poker tables earlier that weekend

We found 2 tickets for face value. If I could find 2 for face value to that game, anyone should be able to find them for any game. The cheapest we had found before then though were a pair for $600.

It was the best pregame atmosphere I have ever been around. There were 350k or so people on campus that weekend and it was awesome! The game was awesome too. Rivals the 07 Florida and Auburn games.

If you do go, be sure to grab some BBQ Nachos from a place called (I think) Bad Wolf BBQ. They were so legit.

The only negative is we didn't have a room. I assumed we could get one in Merridian. It took over 3 hours just to get off campus from where we parked and when we did get there, they were completely booked out!!! The entire city!!! Ended up having to drive all the way to Jackson and didn't get a room till 5 am.

All things considered, still one of the best road trips I have ever made. I went in 09 too. Bama fans are pretty cool. Outside of the college age, which for the most part 90% of every campus's college students are ignorant of football knowledge and just douches to opposing fans. The older folks are really awesome! Best I've found outside of Starkville...which may be bc we always beat State.

Anyways, hope this helps!!!
