Post about you Bham Bowl experiences?

I watched it at the hospital because I had to work.

I enjoyed the DC melts before the game started and then go into full strength after the announcement.

Auburn won and I was entertained.

We had a great time. Me, my brothers, and two of our best friends all went to the game. We all five grew up going to Legion Field together. This time we were all there with the kids. It was nostalgic and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

My brothers got there early and tailgated. They didn't have any issues parking or getting there. My wife and I slept in and headed out at 9AM. We took the bus from the Sheraton. The wait was long (about 30mins), but the ride was short (less than 10mins). The concessions were good. The crowd was good. The Memphis folks were nice. I was disappointed with the band and the cheerleaders. We sat in the rain in section 31 and I don't remember ever hearing the band at all.

If I had to do it over again, we would stay at the Sheraton the night of the game and take the bus to and from Legion Field. The Bham Bowl must draw a lot of visitors. The places even out on 280 were crowded for dinner.

Must be nice. I left Alabaster about 8:30 and stopped for breakfast. Got to inerstate in Homewood about 9:15 and took the streets because traffic was already bad. Took me until about 10:30 to reach the stadium.

Plus while I was driving some jackals in a Sequoia drove the wrong up the street then cut me off. Had I not had children with me, it would have been a major issue.

I was at my brother's house in metro Bham.

I decided the weather forecast was not good enough for me and my son(actually he would go in a tornado) to attend in person.

I thought the game demonstrated the difference between a talented team who played very well for most of the game versus a team that pulled a big upset early and beat some mediocre teams because they had a QB who made plays most of the season.

Left Atlanta about 8 am and didn't hit any traffic on my way to 20 via 285. Met my dad at some random Walmart to ride to the game together. Birmingham made getting to the stafium quite difficult at times. We paid some guy ten bucks to park in the street so maybe he wouldn't break into it.

We walked about a half mile or so to the stadium got our tickets and proceeded to find our assigned seats. Finding out seats was very difficult because all of the numbers and rows in our section were rubbed off or nearly impossible to see. I've never been to a shittier stadium in my life. Auburn won. Drove back to Atlanta.

I don't see how anybody could downvote my exhilarating Birmingham Bowl experience.

Watched from the house......no fire, no drinks and most of the game was on delay. Usually watch with my wife and request flashes after ever AU score (yeah I am a redneck). This game I watched with my granddaughter and the only skin I saw was when I changed a shitty diaper. Happy for the team and especially the defense but NEVER want to view a game in this fashion again. Could have been worse, my son and his wife went to BOA stadium to watch their Wolfpack get destroyed by Miss St in the rain while I watched the oldest grandkid. My wife went and did dog rescue shite (but at least she wore an AU sweatshirt). Maybe the dog people got flashed but I am not sure.
