AUBURN - The beaver is coming to Tiger Country.
Buc-ee’s will open its 53,470 square feet mega-travel center/convenience store/gas station/cultural destination in Auburn at 6 a.m. April 10. The location at 2500 Buc-ee’s Boulevard will offer 120 fueling pumps, along with what the company touts as the cleanest bathrooms in the travel center industry.
WAR EAGLE!!

I drove past it a few weeks ago. It's at a great location and is going to be very nice.

I imagine Tuscaloosa will get one soon- risk of it being robbed would be much less now that Miller is off campus.

I wish it were on my side of 85. Would be a nice place to take a dump on the way home.

Don't compare Buc-ee's to Walmart, you philistine.

That was exactly my impression.
The world is so bizarre right now that a glossed up gas station being a hip tourist attraction seems relatively tame...but it's still weird.

Buc-ees is what you get when you mix Walmart and Cracker Barrel.

We have always been defined by something positive.
We are the opposite of uat.

So a business that stays constantly crowded with Yankees who bring millions of dollars to the tax base of a city/county is a bad thing?
The one in Warner Robins, Ga stays packed and is quite the money maker.
I equate your comment similar to Bryant, Sloan, Perkins who did not have sense to see the profitability that could be generated to Tuscaloosa and Auburn in moving the IB to the campuses.
Brilliant Harvey!

Sloan resigned from his job as Alabama’s AD under pressure in August 1989. Though school president Roger Sayers (who had replaced Joab Thomas the previous year) said at the time “no single event or action” led to Sloan’s departure, many believed then and still believe now that he was being held responsible for allowing Dye and Auburn to take the Iron Bowl out of Birmingham.

“There was such a groundswell for it, I don’t think anything would have kept it from happening,” Curry said. “There was no one at Alabama that could have said ‘I don’t think we ought to go over there.’ There was only one person that could have made that statement, and he (Bryant) had passed away a few years before.”
Bryant did not want to go to Auburn. Why?

Though Auburn had shown what an on-campus Iron Bowl could be, there was no immediate momentum for Alabama to move its home games against the Tigers to Bryant-Denny Stadium. For one thing, the Crimson Tide’s on-campus facility was still quite a bit smaller than Legion Field.

“Alabama didn’t like it,” Dye said. “But when Alabama folks came down and saw the atmosphere, and the tailgating and things going on in and around the stadium … I knew that they would have to take the Auburn-Alabama game to Tuscaloosa.
“You couldn't do it in Birmingham because they didn't have the same set-up for tailgating and that sort of thing in and around Legion Field. But that took it just closer. And now they've got, not only for the Auburn-Alabama game, when its plays there, every other game that they play there, they've got great atmosphere in and around the stadium at Tuscaloosa, just like we have.”

Not trying to get in the middle of a Bama/Auburn fight, but you better put some respek on the Buc-ee’s name sir. That place is legit.

Who said that the place was bad? Didn't you read that I love them in my other post?
DAMN, man! Some of you folks can't even take a compliment without getting your pee-pees raw!

What are you rambling about?
Posted on 3/31/23 at 10:37 am to coachcrisp
Can we add the Buc-ee beaver as one of our mascots?

I finally went to the one in Leeds AL last year to see what the fuss is about. I seriously don’t get it. It seems it’s for consumer-type people who want any excuse to shop and spend money on food and candy and cheap gifts and trinkets. Given its popularity that pretty much describes America. The brisket sandwich wasn’t bad.
