This was my first Iron Bowl, which is the game that has been played for the past 74 years against Alabama and Auburn. It was a game too, Auburn scored first and was up for most of the game, but in the end the war eagles fell to the Rollin’ Tide 26-21. The game was in Auburn this year so I did not attend. For Thanksgivings week I went to the Rogers home which is in Tuscaloosa across town. Our next game will be in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia Dome for the SEC Championship Game, were playing the Florida Gators. The winner of this game will play for the BCS Championship in Pasadena, California. I’m still going back and fourth on going to the game. The only thing stopping me is the cost of the ticket. I was looking them up on the internet and the lowest price I found was $600 dollars, not exactly in my price range. But if they go I have to follow, it’s in my home state after all and It would probably be the only time I would see the Tide play in under the California Sun.

My first last home-game was this week. We played UT Chattanooga, which was a killing 45-0. Not much of a game but some of the 2 stringers got some game time so that was good to see. I got a ticket to the game throw the ticket lottery. Next we will be playing Auburn, in Auburn so I won’t be going. I’ll be in Alabama for Thanksgiving. I will be going to my pastor’s wife’s parents house. It was weird how things go, my dad was telling the pastor about me getting in to Alabama. And he told my dad that his wife’s parents live in Tuscaloosa, which is the town of the UA.  The semester is almost over, with about three weeks to go. I’ll be leaving Dixie for California December 11. I can’t believe my first fall is almost over, it went faster than i had expected. My brother has been telling me about my old high school, Tracy High. They went undefeated in football in the regular season, which hasn’t happened since the 80′s. I leave for Bama and they start winning, what’s the deal. Friday they won their first game in playoffs. Hopefully they will go all the way to UOP in their section, because i’ve looked at the bracket the would play that game, December 12. It would be nice to see some bulldog football.
