I have experienced Gameday in Tuscaloosa and I have to admit that it is like none other. It is truly the quintessential southern Gameday. If my heart did not belong to South Carolina, I would have definitely loved to spend four years of Saturdays at Alabama. The Quad is packed with tailgates of every variety and age groups. Gameday festivities fill the streets and sidewalks of University Boulevard. If you ever get the chance to attend a game in Tuscaloosa, you should. Just make sure you bow your head when the Bear's name is spoken and wear your houndstooth.
RTR!

ROLL TIDE!!!!
Great Post! I went to my first game 2 years ago and I LOVED T-Town! The Bear Trap was awesome, and we at our breakfast at The Houndstooth. Yes, breakfast was a BBQ sandwich and a beer. RTR! I can't wait for this season, 14 and counting!
