Tim, Tanya, Dottee, and Mollee - Bama - v - UT
We are leaving on Thursday so that we can go to Hey Coach. Tricia from UA AMSTI has arranged through her husband, Jon, to ask a question to Coach Saban. Nephie and Julie got to Buffalo Wild Wings at 5 to get us a table. WE stopped by the RV to drop off the firepit, clothes, and the grill. We also picked up the tailgating books so Coach Saban can sign it. Then to Nephies apt to drop off Dottee and Mollee. Finally to BWW. We get there at 6. We ordered our dinner and it was time for the show. Coach Saban arrived and it was time for questions. Tyler, Tim's new friend, came to our table and got Tim when it was his turn to ask a question. He ask about Bama's success on 3rd downs this year. (offensive 3rd downs) Coach was GREAT! Tim won a book. Tricia came to our table to let Tim sit up front so he could get our book signed. Tim waited for coach to walk out and he was able to get our tailgating book signed. WOW!
After BWW, we had a mission to accomplish. A puppy is coming from Foley adn will be given to the Boss. We make the exchange at Winn Dixie in Northport. Nephie, Julie and Tanya, are in the store in the checkout line and in walks Tim and puppy. We go to the Alcove and take the puppy. Finally back at nephies, we chill out and get all settled in and introduced puppy to a crate.

Friday monring we slept late. it was so nice. We went to Rammer Jammers for breakfast. It was very good. Back to Nephies apt to pick up the pups. We take all 3 pups to the Quad. We park at the Moody Music building and walk to the Quad. After our adventure, the pups are exhausted time for their naps. Ivan arrived around 5 PM and we went to 5. A relatively new restaurant in TTown. It was very good. Then to Target for a few supplies. Back to Nephies to get the pups, all three of them and the Caddie. Then onto the RV storage lot. Time to move the RV and get setup for the weekend. We move the RV, Ivan went for ice then helped us unpack and set up the RV.

Saturday morning was a laid back morning. Ivan brought us breakfast. Tanya took the dogs, all 3 of them, for a walk while Tim began the hotdog making process. Everyone arrive around 11:00. Ivan, Jonathan, Julie, James, Leah, Amy, Nan, Ellen, Megan, Nicolette and her friend Kelly. Anne P was stuck in traffic, but finally arrived. We watched football, ate Timz Dogz, grilled and ate again waiting for game time. Tim and Tanya took a bike ride around town and visited with John and Brenda and Brian and Leigh. Janis, Randy and Hunter dropped by on their way to see Brianna. Tim and James flew the new Bama kite. Finally it is game time. Kick off was at 6:15. Bama was off to a slow start but got it together in 2nd half and won 37-6. Tim carried cigars into the game and at the end of the game, Tim, Jonathan. Ivan, and others all lit cigars in honor of the tradition began by Coach Bryant. Allie is 52-9. On the bike ride back from the game, Tim and Tanya are close to the RV lot, riding in the left lane when a SUV began to turn into Tanya's lane. People screamed, the policeman yelled, BIKE. Tanya was able to pedal to softy. After the game everyone returned to the RV and we watched More football and ate yet again. Everyone helped put away chairs, Big AL, and the tents before leaving. That helps with the clean up process. Once again, we were awake until 1 AM.
Sunday morning we slept until about 8. James and Leah came and picked up their stuff and morning began. Nephie brought us breakfast and papers. Tim cleaned up outside and Tanya cleaned inside. It is a 2 hour process to clean, and pack. Add in another 2 hours to store ever thing, fill with fuel, dump the tanks, and store the RV. Setting up is more fun than storing. The trip home was uneventful. Two more weeks and we will be back for the game of a lifetime. Bama - v LSU, #2 - v #1. How lucky are we?
