  1. I live in Nashville and my wife went to Bama, so I have been to several Bama home games over the last 11 years. We've stayed in Tuscaloosa a few times, and we've also stayed in Birmingham a few times. Both options have their pros and cons, and I'd say it really just boils down to what type of gameday experience you're looking for. Staying in Tuscaloosa: this is definitely the move if you're wanting to experience a full day of tailgating and then hit the bar scene after the game is over. I highly recommend this, because it's a blast. I would recommend getting there on Friday afternoon/evening and leaving on Sunday morning. Traffic in and out of Tuscaloosa is an absolute nightmare before and after the game, so it's best to just avoid that if you can. Staying in Birmingham: Birmingham obviously has a lot more places to stay; so it's an easier trip to book. There are several charter shuttle services that run from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa a few hours before the game, and then they bring you back shortly after the game. There are several available, and I'm honestly not sure which one is the best, but if you google Tuscaloosa gameday shuttles you will find plenty of options. It's pretty convenient because you don't have to worry about finding parking, and you also don't have to worry about having a sober driver. Some of the bus services even provide food on the way there and the way back; and they'll let you drink during the trip. We did one of these a few years ago and it was pretty fun. The downside to this options is you miss out on the tailgating and the post-game bar scene. If you want to stay in Birmingham and enjoy the full gameday experience, the best move is to drive over early in the morning to avoid pregame traffic, then tailgate all day, and then hit the bars for an hour or two after the game and let the traffic die down before driving back to Birmingham. The key there is just making sure someone in your group will be sober enough to drive you back; which is definitely going to be tricky after we beat them 35-17.
  2. LEAVE PILOTSERROR ALONE!
  3. This shit right here. If they really want to be on a winning team, they're going to have to get over this type of thing. On a smaller scale, I had to go through it when I swam for UT. Men's swimming only gets 9.5 scholarships to divide amongst the entire team, so full-rides weren't really a thing. Because of that, the scholarship guys on the team only had a partial scholarship which meant there was constant comparing of who had 75% vs who had 25% etc. As an upperclassman, you may be an established asset on the team and then find out an incoming guy is going to be on a bigger partial scholarship than you. The older guys had to be mature enough to realize "Hey, that kid is going to help our team win, so I'm glad we did what it took to get him here". I know this is nothing compared to the millions of NIL dollars floating around, but the concept is generally the same.
  4. I think he was exaggerating.
  5. Y'all are both morons. Jaylen Waddle is currently in the NFL, so it's literally impossible for us to get him. Besides, we don't have room for him with Kyler Murray already being a silent commit. smh.
  6. Too lazy to scroll back and see if this was discussed earlier in the thread, but in the first offensive drive or the game Quinn had blood all over his hand towel. On the second drive, he had a new clean towel but there was blood smeared on the side of his helmet near the ear hole; aka where you hold the helmet when putting it on. Leads me to believe the issue with the fingernail on his throwing hand is lingering . It’s painfully obvious this is the issue. This isn’t the same QB that threw for 150 in the first qtr against Bama and then lead us to 49-0. He doesn’t just suck all of a sudden. With that being said, I’m all for pulling him for Card.
  7. From Nashville. Fuck TCU. TEXAS!!!
  8. Why would anyone be trying to record the game? This isn’t 2005, the entire game will be on YouTube tomorrow.
  9. The crazier thing to me is how many Surly posters still have 0 clue how LHN works.
  10. Jesus, what a fucking throw in that first clip. I hadn't seen it from that angle yet.
  11. I will 100% be in Tuscaloosa next year. I live in Nashville, so it's an easy drive for me. My wife went to Bama, so I've been to Tuscaloosa with her for several games over the past 11 years that we've been together, and as much as I hate to admit it their gameday atmosphere is awesome. We need to get as much burnt orange on that campus as possible next year. It will be a blast (especially since Ewers is gonna throw for 500+ to get back at them for this year).
  12. I doubt we're even considering having Wright run the wildcat, so you don't have to worry.
  13. You're probably right, but you also have to consider the fact that Ewers and Card got all the meaningful snaps in practice last week which probably prevented the coaches from wanting to risk anything by putting Wright in there once Card was hobbled. Had he gotten a full week of practice behind Card, they may have put him in. That's obviously just devil's advocate speculation at this point, but we will probably find out on Saturday.
  14. I've spent the first part of my morning in the office studying Wright (watching HS highlights, reading articles, etc.), and fuck it... I'm on the Wright train. He looks like he might actually ball the fuck out once he gets his shot. I think he is more than capable of winning us these next 1-3 games, and I think he could potentially take over the QB2 spot. Am I crazy? Maybe, but I need something to feel good about today.
  15. I’d be right there with you on this if not for the fact that Card is also injured.
  16. Why do we care how our second string place kicker compares to another team's second string place kicker?
  17. All SEC teams do it. We’ll be one of them soon, so we might as well just embrace it.
  18. New Surly motto?
  19. You know, I was actually starting to look forward to this football season. And then I read this, and I can't argue against a single word of it. Now I'm sad again. Thanks a lot.
