Barnes Tailgating Crew: November 9-11, 2012 Bama -v- Texas AM

November 9-11, 2012 Bama -v- Texas AM

Tim, Tanya, Dottee, Mollee and Spencer

Whooohooo- we are learning early, a few stops, fuel, pick up smoked butt from church and the bank. Finally on the road to Ttown. We had a safe trip to TTown even though traffic was heavy but no real problems. We moved the RV into the lot and got set up.

Then we met Ivan at Newks for dinner. We had to make a trip to Publix for Ice. Back to the RV. It's an unusually quiet night and we turned in early.

Saturday AM began early. Tim went for breakfast and errands. [Home Depot for firewood in case we need it].

I got the tables ready outside and began to cook the Timz Dogz. Tim returned. Jonathan, Steve, and Ivan arrive. Janis and Randy arrive. Amy, Leah, James and Isabelle arrived. Nan and Ellen arrived. Candi and Joey arrived with 2 friends and then McKenzie, Hannah, Dalton and 2 friends arrived. The tailgate area is filling up.

Jonathan's friend, Brittany and Buddy and Brittany's parents from Boston arrived. This is their first tailgate ever. Amy's 3 friends arrived and they have Candi's tickets.

32 people actively eating and having fun. [35 made an appearance.] That maybe a new tailgate record.

Finally it is time for the game. Texas AM jumps out to a 20-0 lead. Ivan leaves the game in the 1st quarter at 14-0 and Tim leaves at 20-0.

During the half, Jonathan and I met Michael, Amanda, Michael and Matthew in the concourse. As it turns out, that was the best part of the day.

Bama loses! Allie falls to 57-11. Anger reins at the tailgate. We down our sorrows in the boston butt. Taylor joins the party. Everyone helped clean up and put away all the stuff which is a big help! Time with family and friends is great but the sting of a loss hurts.

Nephies comes to the RV after the work and has a couple of Timz Dogz.

Sunday AM, Tim goes for breakfast and then picks up my bike. I clean the RV. 64 feet and 12 paws make for one dirty RV. In a pinch, you can use Lysol wipes to mop a floor.

We clean the RV, fill with fuel, dump and part the RV. Then to Nephies to shower and have a late lunch. We were able to hang out in Ttown for the day and spend time with Nephie. A great Sunday afternoon after a disappoint Saturday.
