Shopaholic in Alabama

Happy Monday! Greetings from a cold and wet Gulf coast beach town! :-) Tonight is the BCS National Championship game, where the Auburn Tigers will meet the Oregon Ducks. For those who don't follow sports - we're talking about college football. The DH and I love college football. Some of you might remember that I'm a season ticket holder for UA football (The University Of Alabama) and attend every home game in Tuscaloosa, AL. I also love to attend "away" games and have watched my beloved team play in other locales such as Columbia, SC; Pasadena, CA; New Orleans, LA; Jacksonville, FL; Birmingham, AL; Jackson, MS; and Knoxville, TN. Alabama and Auburn are "in-state rivals", but that really makes it sound pretty calm and slightly civilized. HAHA. Most people around here either love Alabama or they love Auburn - and they pull for whichever team the other one is playing on any given Saturday. Last year, Alabama beat the Texas Longhorns in the BCS Champ...

Happy Saturday, and welcome to the start of college football season! :-) I'm on my way to see the Tide play. If I've never mentioned it here, we have season tickets to all Bama home games. And we manage to make the trek to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for most of them between September and late November. Today we play San Jose State, which shouldn't be a very difficult game. Next week is projected to be a different story. Penn State is coming to town. I'll need a few drinks and maybe a nerve pill to get through that one. :-) Who is your favorite college football team? I will confess that I've been an Alabama fan for as long as I've been alive. Even though I didn't graduate from UA...I bleed Crimson! Hope you have a great day! And Roll Tide!
