Somewhat relatedly, I’m 100% planning on visiting Tuscaloosa in a few years. I know some guys who tailgate there, but I remain optimistic that we’ll finally meet so that I can grind your Scotch opening to dust over a real board.

Absolutely. I don’t go to many games anymore. I’ll make an exception, though. The one requirement is that you wear the service shirt with the name patch sewn above the pocket.

My tailgated usually have pulled pork and grilled bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers. They coat the gut with the requisite amount of grease to somewhat slow the absorption of brown liquors.

Brown liquors may doom me, but I’m in!

That said, Doug is outstanding with some great stuff so I hope he heeds my advice.

If you arrive at your tailgate spot at 5:30, you may find Doug has already been there a while. He is the definition of an early bird.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Gonna be great for tailgating. Hopefully Doug takes my advice and ends up in my lot.

He's planning on it. He asked me on Sunday if you had an idea of how things unfold on Saturday morning both in general and around your parking area? He likes to set up really early and he's not bringing the trailer. One TV, some chairs and a grill.

You can get to the parking area any time, I think. Even if they don't have someone out collecting money, you pull in and park and they get you later (it's a small lot). They should have someone there by 530 or 6, but, like I said, don't be deterred if there isn't. And, even though it's small, it won' fill up until past 8. Most people who park there are NOT tailgating. There's a giant tailgate that hogs up the nicest part of the big greenspace, but there's ample greenspace for anyone else. The other thing is that it's a relatively quiet in that you won't have a bunch of foot traffic. Only downside remains shitter distance, but they're easily walkable and the woods across the street is even moreso.

So, the only "lawyer" thing I'll say is that what I've described is the way it's been from 2012 to 2021. I tailgated there in each of those years (except 2020). I haven't tailgated there in 2022. So maybe the rules have changed -- I highly, highly doubt it. And I walked past the area on my way to the Notre Dame game and appeared same as it ever was. So, my brother and I will, 100%, head there at about 530 tomorrow armed with a workable grill, modest grillable items and ample PBR.

I really wish Talent’s brother posted here. He’s the likable, personable version of Talent.

[iam416]

Incorrect.

[AlabamAlum]

Well, he’s at personable as his Croat-Serb genetics will allow.

Current weather forecast is 47-54 degrees for the game, modest S winds (moving from right to left on your TV) and a 1% chance of precipitation. So, you know, the weather won't be an issue.

[AlabamAlum]

I was about to say that’s the same weather as here.

[lineygoblue]

Perfect weather for the revenge of CRD and Stroud.

If CRD 'hit a triple', then Harbs isn't even going to get out of the dugout.

[iam416]

Sunday is going to be rainy, 40s and hellacious 20+ mph winds. So, whew! Close call! Ohio State still has an outside chance.
