My two daughters and I made the trip to Tuscaloosa. Stayed at the Hotel Capstone which is on campus within walking distance of the stadium. Bama team is staying here. Joked with a Bama fan last night that maybe I Could slip something in Milroe’s dinner so he could be on the potty all day today. Good natured ribbing. He wished us well and actually said we deserve to be in a better conference.

At breakfast today, surrounded by a sea of Red Tide. Mostly being nice to us but a couple of odd looks. Campus is pretty and I’m sure as the day goes on and the drinking starts it’s gonna get fun around here.

So far a great experience.

I am smoking up a pork butt, sausage, chicken wings in my BGE, filling up my cooler with a bunch of local craft beer…and keeping my prized bottle of Macallan’s near hand in case there is a reason to celebrate deep into the night.

I would warn my neighbors…but they are coming over

I am Alabama Ready!
