We decided to brave the crowds this weekend and venture down to campus among the thousands of tailgaters to get a glimpse of the football madness. This was slated to be the "biggest college football game of the year." ESPN Game Day even set-up in front of the University of Alabama's Bryant Denny stadium where thousands of students/fans cheered all day. Needless to say, Tuscaloosa was a madhouse! A couple of our good friends were in town for the weekend, so we decided to show off the true football religion. We loaded up the stroller and some beer and trekked downtown to campus for the morning (until nap time, we were home by 2:30!). We didn't even have tickets to the game, but got a babysitter (woohoo! our very first sitter) for the game. So, we put the kids to bed and went out to dinner - Dreamland BBQ baby - to watch the game. We were home by 10:30, just in time to catch the end of the 4th quarter and overtime. Unfortunately, the game didn't end in our favor and our hopes for a national championship diminished, but overall it was a wonderful day. Awesome friends, great food and good times had by all!
An ocean of tailgating tents among the Crimson Tide!
ESPN Radio tent. The Game Day tent was closed when we got there, but this was pretty cool.
E was having too much fun and finally crashed in the stroller, mid-drink and snack time (there's a cracker in his hand).
Miss H was loving her "big girl" seat in the stroller, but I stopped to feed her and she opted for a nap in the sling on the way back to the car (I don't blame her).
The boys. Just taking in the madness, enjoying the beautiful weather and chatting about football (or beer?).
All of us (E was still sleeping)!
ETA: We're also SUPER excited about the recent news of Mizzou joining the SEC! Woo hoo!
