Early Sugar Bowl Roll Call

I know we're 3.5 weeks out, but figured I'd get an early read on who is going to the Sugar Bowl (both Bama and Utah fans).

FanPosts are just that; posts created by the fans. They are in no way indicative of the opinions of SBN and the authors of Roll Bama Roll.

LittleSis and I...

…will be there. I was on the phone with Harrah’s outside the Georgia Dome immediately after the game making hotel reservations. Being a Diamond player with them has it’s perks.

Same here.

What are people’s thoughts on tickets (for non-students/season ticket holders)? I’m thinking the best value will be to try to get Utah tickets once they put them up for public sale on Friday (I’m assuming they won’t sell out their allotment to students and season ticket holders). Any thoughts?

Craigslist

then Look under salt lake city Utah. They already have a ton for sale. There is no way that Utah will bring 17500 people you can bet tickets will be plentiful and cheap $300 pair upperdeck.

Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I'm going

Since you asked about Utah fans. And to answer rugman, I think you are right. Not that I condone your fans sitting in our sections.

Alabama fans are going to snap up any ticket they can

I think we took something like 20K+ to Hawai’i one season and our fans will do things like buy season tickets of opposing teams if opposing team’s ticket offices are doing things like not selling singles to our games in hope of keeping us out of their stadium. At Vanderbilt last year, I know a lot of Bama fans bought season tickets to get the game and then put the rest on StubHub.

Hope to meet up with some Utes in NOLA.

by Nico2.0 on Dec 9, 2008 4:11 PM CST up reply actions  

hope to see you there

Four friends and I will be making the trip from out west to the game. We all very much look forward to some good clean fun with Alabama fans. We’ve tailgated with Big 10, Pac 10, Mtn west, and WAC fans this year and can’t wait to add a little SEC to the mix!

And just so you all know, the Univ. of UTAH in the NON-MORMON school in Utah!!! We drink, cuss, have premarital sex, everything normal. The mormon school here is blue and we hate them as much or more than you hate au.

Admittedly, Utah won’t travel as well as it did to the Fiesta Bowl in ‘05 where it sold 60,000 of the 71,000 available but the tickets are just about gone. It will be a road game but that’s fine with us.

Travel safely!!

NOT GOING

Went last year to the Sugar Bowl, and New Orleans is dirty, stinky, and nasty, and honestly scary. I hated every minute of being down there and I will not be returning, no way in hell am i supporting that economy. My butt will be flopped out on my couch with a bottle of dickel and a gallon of sweet tea.

And no, my tix are not for sale for it, please dont blow my email apart like some did earlier in the year. thanks

Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!

Wow, comer...

…sorry you had such a bad experience. I go to New Orleans rather often and have had some great times there. Fabulous food and music. I’ve never been in the Superdome though.

In what is sure to doom the Tide

I will be attending my first Bama game since the homecoming loss to Vandy in 84 (85?)

by Yamez on Dec 9, 2008 6:10 PM CST reply actions  

I'll be there...

…whether or not I have a ticket will be decided tomorrow when the names get posted on the door of Coleman Coliseum. I have a buddy whose parents live in NO so I’m going to stay at their place and either go to the game or watch it down there.

by Bama philosophe on Dec 9, 2008 6:15 PM CST reply actions  

I'll be there with Mrs. Chang...

…and a couple of buds. We won’t be going to the game because I’m too poor, but I’d love to meet up for before/after game drinks. Nico, I believe I still owe you a drink.

by Bubba Chang on Dec 10, 2008 8:12 AM CST reply actions  

Cool!

I was going to get in touch with you and see if you had any designs on going over. I will email soon.

by Nico2.0 on Dec 10, 2008 9:16 AM CST up reply actions  

I'm going to find some tickets now

and decide whether to go later. It’s a tough competition in my head, featuring the thrill of the crowd and the begging of my daughter versus the lure of the comfy sofa, clean restrooms, HDTV with all the replays you want. etc. I’ll post later somewhere about my tickets, if I do get them and don’t go.

to see Troy whoop up on Southern Miss in the R+L Carriers Bowl!

Im a bad luck charm for the Tide anyways. Last game I went to was the FSU game and we all know that that may have been the worst game of football ever played, regardless of who your cheering for.

im not impressed with your performance

I will be in NOLA

I don’t post much but I read all of it and love it. I will be in NOLA, but haven’t decided whether I will go to the game or watch from my Embassy Suites hotel room. Until now, I have watched every game this year from the same bar seat at the Orlando Bama Alumni Assn Bar (JB’s), wearing the same shirt (I did wash it every week) and drinking the same beers. Until last weekend, the shirt was undefeated, since I also wore it to the bowl game last year. I will probably have to retire it now and buy another one to start a new tradition of being undefeated. Probably wait and see if Harrahs can come up with some tickets to the game, since I am playing in a BlackJack Tournament there. Need a RBR sign so we can recognize each other.

by FloraBama on Dec 10, 2008 1:05 PM CST reply actions  

Keep the shirt for regular season games

It’s 100% there…it’s just 50/50 in bowl/championship games. Have a new shirt ready for next year’s SEC title game, and we should have a phenomenal season!

F&Ms and Grits

are usually the bars that I hit up in Nola. You can avoid getting pick pocketed and raped on drink prices there. As long as you can stand those awful cajun accents. NYE if any of you try and brave the crowd to watch the ball drop look back towards Jackson Square. On your left is the Pontabla Building. I will be on the corner balcony in the Pontabla Building.

Ive got tickets, plane tickets, and a hotel

i just dont know yet, im sitting here in my office today still pissed and what does my secretary bring me? You would think a cup of nice hot coffee but youd be wrong. The SI that has Tim Tebow on the cover and the game score. I trew it in a 5 year old timper tantrum and proceeded to leave the office for a few minutes. I have calmed down, until this………Another girl that works here, her husband came in wearing his florida shit and came straight back to my office and said “gator bait”. I walked out of my office, right into hers, and said “yoooooouuuuurrrrr fired!” (to the tune of Roll Tide)
HAHA i have the last laugh.

We're not going, after all

Please cheer with enough volume to make up for my daughter, who has one of the strongest voices around. I have friends from NO, so I’ll ask about the latest hot spots and post them. Avoid Brennan’s unless you like a bowl with sliced bananas with half and half poured over it to the tune of $16.00, for starters. Eggs Benedict was (just Eggs Benedict and nothing else) was $36.00 ten years ago.

See you there

 Cool. We’ll be staying at the Sheriton on Canal. Is that the same one you’ll be in? It looks like the U of Alabama is a relatively short drive to N.O.

 Our group is driving to Las Vegas (420 miles) to fly out cause it seems all flights from SLC are full (other than some incredibly expensive chartered flights).

Hope to meet some fun ‘Bama fans while we’re there!

BTW Do they have good sweet tea in LA?

by distantUte on Dec 12, 2008 11:01 AM CST reply actions  

Dear distantUte...

…reportedly, Bama’s team is staying at your hotel, and it’s huge, and it’s a short drive for a rabid fan base, so I’m guessing you’ll run into a few ‘fun’ Bama fans. Have a great time (except for the game itself).

by NiceLittleSaturday on Dec 12, 2008 11:38 AM CST up reply actions  

We'll be at the Sheraton too, Comer...

…and partying nearby. Something tells me that in the Big Sleazy we can find a better spot than the Publix parking lot this time.

I will be there with the Shotblocker. Perhaps a couple others, but he and I will attend, look for the guys in the nosebleeds seats (were not planning on going till too late to get good ones) I am the short one in the Hunting MacIntyre tartan yelling “Utah, Utah, Utah!”.

Go ‘Bama, have a great time, good luck to your fellows, let’s meet up for a coffee or tour of B street, beignets at Du Monde . . . . .!
