This is Alabama football. . .

I had the distinct pleasure of taking two young ladies to their first Alabama football game (actually their first real BIG football game). If you're gonna see a major sporting event for the first time, Alabama (or SEC in general) football is the way to go. This also had the added bonus of being Homecoming, so there were the added attractions of the parade, Homecoming court and a host of other events not normally part of the game.

I do have to give some serious props to the Alabama Athletics community for putting together a quality experience. I've been to a number of different school's football games, and BY FAR, Alabama has it the most "together", even with a major stadium remodel underway, traffic was well managed (both foot and car), parking was no problem, and lines for anything were few and far between.

Alabama won the game, BTW (it was Homecoming after all). Utah State was outmatched but fought the good fight and made the game enjoyable. The crowd did their part and both young ladies throughly enjoyed the game.

There's not much more to this post, just wanted to give props to the Alabama Atheletic Department for an enjoyable day of Big Time Alabama Football.
