Bama fans- Getting to Tuscaloosa from Birmingham

We've got a group staying in Birmingham for the game next weekend and are trying to figure out the best way to get to Tuscaloosa before the game and then back to Birmingham afterward without driving our cars.
We looked at using the Rally Bus, but we were wanting to get to campus earlier to tailgate than when it drops off. We also looked at renting a party bus, but that entails recruiting enough people and it's somewhat pricey. Uber surge charges to get back postgame so that's probably out of the picture.
Basically, is there some type of game day shuttle or recommendation on how to get to campus and back to Birmingham on the same day?
Thanks for any help! I've always been able to stay with friends in Tuscaloosa in the past, but they've all graduated now.

Best way to get in to Tuscaloosa?

It’s not an easy drive on big game days.

Stay in Starkville, and i'm sure someone out on the farm will take in to TVille on horseback.

I got nothing for you man, sorry about that. We generally drive down early and then drive back, as do most folks I know.
I'd think your best option would probably just be to splurge on the party bus if you can't find 1 sober driver in the group to rely on.

First you take your horse to the old town road, then you ride until you can't no more

If you are going early, just go down 20/59. The trip down shouldn't be bad. The harder part is planning on parking in a spot where you can get back after the game without a ton of traffic.

You fricked up by not staying at the roadside motel in Reform.

Actually, though, I highly recommend that you reach out to the Birmingham chapter of the LSU Alumni Association. It may be likely that they will operate a charter bus or two from Birmingham.
In 2016 when I went to the game in Baton Rouge, I did the same thing with the Bama alumni group in New Orleans. It was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Bus parked right by the stadium and left 45 minutes after the game ended. Price included a box lunch. Also, they picked up a police escort outside of BR and allowed us to fly by the bumper to bumper traffic. I would absolutely do it again.

Alabama is a little like this outside of the city centers.
Godspeed.
