Alabama Football!

We spent last weekend in Birmingham so that we could go to our last Alabama football game in the box. Yes, it was kind of sad that we won't be in the box next year, but I am sure the Murphy's are on to bigger and better things. The box has been wonderful and we were especially glad to be in it for this game since it was a 6:45pm game and quite chilly! We got to Tuscaloosa super early so we could get some pictures around campus and since the box opened at 4:15, we headed straight over to see if we could get Luke in. (Side note: According to stadium rules, EVERY person MUST have a ticket! (even newborns, as silly as that is.) That being said, Luke has been to the box two previous times WITHOUT a ticket. The first time we really didn't know and the second time they let us in after a little bit of begging (I really don't know how we did it the second time, but, hey, it worked!) This time mom was all set to sit at the Tri-delta house until half time and then meet us so she could take Luke back to the hotel. However, I had the bright idea of trying just ONE MORE TIME to get him in without a ticket. We let Dad stroll him in and they let us through without so much as looking at Luke in the stroller. Whew, we were in....or were we???... I got stopped because of my huge camera bag and Dad, Luke and Liz scurried onto the elevator thinking that all was well. While Mom and I were fooling around with the camera, Dad had gotten stopped by the second ticket stampers who give you an arm band. They said that Luke HAD to have a ticket and that they couldn't believe that they had let us through downstairs. Long story short, since they had already gotten that far, they let us in. Yeah! Mom didn't have to camp out at the tri-delta house!  All was well!
No trip to T-town would be complete without going to see the "Bear" statue!
Getting a quick bite to eat at the Tri-delta house before heading to the stadium. Check out my brand new shoes that Mimi bought met! Am I stylin' or what?
I had a great time at the game. After getting a new Alabama hat and bundling up, I was happy to be on the front row cheering the team on with my Alabama shaker! But, my favorite thing was the Million Dollar Band... Our box is just to the left of where the band sits, so I had a great time clapping and dancing to the music.
WHOOO HOOOO......11-0! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Looks like you had a great time. What a good season for Alabama!!!!
I learned how to say "ROLL TIDE". Mommy does not have it on video yet, because when she pulls the camera out...I don't feel like doing it. Maybe I will say it for you.
