3rd Saturday in October and a stomach full of finger nails!

This is a play that will live in infamy

What's higher than Rocky Top?

 MT. CODY!!!!!

Ok then, on to the rest of the story.  Amy, Steve, Isabelle, James and Leah all left Friday morning to go visit with Granny and Paw Paw.  We had a great visit and some great BBQ that Paw Paw cooked.  Leah, Amy and Isabelle went to Wal Mart to pick up some last minute tailgating items.  We all headed to Tuscaloosa about 4 o'clock.  We went to check in the La Quinta in Tuscaloosa.  They didn't have a cot available for Isabelle so they let us out of our reservation and we found a great room at the Comfort Suites.  Isabelle had her own pull out couch bed instead of a cot and we had queen size beds instead of full size.  Much better! 

We were surprised to find a room last minute.  After a little resting and freshening up, we headed over to the RV to meet up with Auntie, Unc and Kurzin.  We headed to Mugshots to meet Nicorette and Mark.  We all loaded the Q and headed downtown.  2 hour wait, we decided on Wings.  The wait wasn't too long but we had time to take some goofy pictures.  Dinner was fun. Nicorette and Mark broke off from us to hang out with some friends of their that were Tennessee fans.  BOOOOOOOOO

We went to Target so Auntie and Unc could get tailgate supplies.  Took them to the RV and headed back to the hotel.

After a good nights sleep, we were up and ready to head out.  We got to the RV and watched Game Day together.  Then we watched Arkansas and Ole Miss.  Arkansas got beat by Ole Miss!!!  We were totally shocked!  Unc and I went for a bike ride.  What fun that is.  You can definitely get around campus a lot quicker that way.  We got some boiled peanuts and beer.  We saw Ivan and Tanya's brother Phil.  Headed back to the RV and got ready to go to the game.  Leah, Nan and I were all feeling a little uneasy about this game for some reason.  Haven't felt this way all year but it wasn't a good feeling.  Guess the feeling was for a good reason.  Scary, scary game!  When Steve puts his head down in his hands, I know it's not good.  I always look to him to give me the "it's going to be OK" but it wasn't there in the last minutes of the game.  My heart was racing.  Once they were on the 27 yard line and in field goal range, Ba Dunc and Kurzin said "it's over" but I told them "He's still got to make the kick."  I don't know why, but I just knew Tennessee wasn't going to be celebrating in our stadium that night.  In a miraculous save, Mt. Cody blocks the kick and Alabama wins!!!!!!!  A Daniel Moore moment for sure!

We stayed in the stadium for a least 45 minutes afterwards!  We went down to sit in the seats we sell every year and are seriously considering going to those next year.  They are very close to the field but to the side so you can still see down field.  We think we witnessed Unc's son (Mike Johnson) get engaged on the 50 yard line after the game.  We got to see our favorite guys take their picture on the field with cigars.  We were awful proud of Baron Huber as he made a catch for a first down.  WOO HOO!

Headed back to the RV finally and enjoyed quite a crowd.  It was a lot of fun.  Isabelle got Cory Reamer's autograph and of course a picture with him.  She's very bold!  As always, all good things must come to an end and we headed back to Georgia.  Got to Cedartown about 1:30.  We stayed at Marc and Kathy's so as not to wake up Zeke and get some rest.

Was a great weekend!  Only two more home games which is so sad.  Got next weekend off, which is very much needed by the Tide, and we're going on Friday night to watch Derek (Candi's son) play in Jacksonville.  Hope we bring a better game for LSU.
