14!

Nick and I were fortunate enough to get to head down to New Orleans for the BCS Nation.al Champ.ionship game! We went to the first UA-LSU match up this year and we both had a feeling that the outcome this time was going to be different...

A HUGE THANK YOU to Bamma and Big Pat who kept C & C so that we could go down there. We dropped them off on Sunday morning and headed to the airport to join the madness {and I do mean MADNESS} in New Orleans.

Sunday night we went to a party hosted by Nick's bank {which is based in LA} and there were plenty of LSU fans, but I like to think those of us who were Tide fans represented well, all things considered.

Then it was Monday, the day of the game. We left our hotel {much as we leave for Tuscaloosa on game day} intending to enjoy the day and then head to the game.

After much anticipation and excitement {and my personal fill of hearing "Tiger Bait" shouted all day}, we headed here:
Was exciting to see the Super.dome with red/white lights {among other colors}. After what seemed like forever to get into the dome and up to our seats {please, can some venue that has it figured out help the dome with crowd control?}, we were ready for the action.
While I know that the rest of the world didn't think it was a very exciting game {hard to feel that way when it is dominated by one side}, I thought it was AMAZING and exciting!

Perhaps the best part was watching all those fans who were yelling Tiger Bait all weekend bail out of the stadium in the fourth quarter.

Kudos to the Tide for a big win {a shutout!!!} in the national championship game!


Roll Tide!

That is 14 - and all of us do not hang out at the Krystal or want to poison trees. We do have class. I have to think those 2 have never seen the inside of a REAL college classroom. RTR.
