UPDATED: RBR Homecoming Bamapocalypse

COME ON TAX RETURN FTW!

I get left out… whata bitch.
Anyways, I will be coming down from Cullman on gameday, so if anyone is flying in Saturday morning, or needs a lift from the B’Ham to Tuscaloosa Sat. morning let me know.

I’m all for a RBR tailgate. Any awesome BBQers out there?

I will still be living on campus next year, so my living room floor could be the drunk driving prevention refuge. All I ask in return is that none of y’all be secret serial killers out to murder me and my roommates. Fair?

If we need more rides from the airport, Sheila the Forester and I are at your service.

@rolltiderolll (that’s 3 "L"s on the last one) on Twitter.

I’ve never done that

and after helping Kelph out I think I’ve learned how to get people where they need to go. Just let me know your welcome in the warm diabetic bosom of Tuscaloosa. We shall enjoy ourselves greatly

Cooool. I’ll be there, I’m sure I’ll still be around damn Tuscaloosa. TJ too. and wallacewade04 if I was a bettin man [edit: there you are dude!].

Wish it was closer to halloween, could have had a costume party. got some big plans this next hween.

I’m a big fan of people helping folks find a place to rest their weary head when they get too wasted and whatnot. though my ability to handle logistics deteriorates rapidly on gamedays as well.

i’ll check on tailgate options, still sort of early since i’m not sure whose living where and if i have the same neighbors i do not want to tailgate in my yard, since they are setting up some gameday parking industrial complex and shit.

on gameday. Anyone going that way should let me know in the next 224 days.

pencil me in. i just got permission to go to “one game, quick, cheap, and dirty” meaning i’m going solo or bringing my brother if he gets permission from his better half as well. we’d talked about one of the early OOC september games. But if tickets can be had for vandy, we may as well do that week instead.

so will the fact that its homecoming counteract the fact that its Vandy? be a wash? and yeah, where to find tickets?…

also to stuck. myself and the Mrs. are coming to Hawaii in May, will probably hit up the big island this time. get ready brah…

I have a house in Pinson and can prolly handle a few crashers if needed. I will be sober so I can take 2 people to and from B’ham. Give me some specifics and I will make it happen. Baring work from preventing me., I will be there.

…but honestly with life’s latest revelations that money will go to treatment/bud for my condition. I’ve already penciled in the Dallas 2012 as my ‘coming out’ for RBR fun, so to keep that in line I have to politely decline this opportunity to participate in the debauchery that is RBR on Homecoming.

Down a bourbon for me and scream your heads off, as I will do the same from the comfort of my own living room.

Oh, Stuck, I have my eye on the monkey suits an will be expecting to see others in classic garb. Just need to know who to sent the money to for that game when time comes…

and probably won’t for a while, but I have the hotel booked and I am just waiting on Southwest to open October for booking flights.

I am staying in T-town not the ‘Ham so that I don’t have to drive back and forth. I didn’t make it to see the National Championship and Heisman trophies last year, so I want to be able to get up Sunday morning to do that before heading back home.

Hubby is coming with me and we are heading to Egan’s this year finally. Two years ago my Mom was with us (not a good idea for my Mom to see me drinking) and last year I came with a girlfriend and we just had too much to do in a short amount of time and didn’t make it. I can’t wait to finally meet everybody. Just say where to meet and I’ll be there!

i’ve met bo, bamareturns07, spock, twesq, ben..cobra, & billycthulthu. i think that’s all. i’m loving the thought of a tailgate because the chances of us all being at egans at the same time are pretty slim (unless we all get there early for a kick-the-day-off bloody mary (which i highly recommend).

i’ll be driving in on friday afternoon/night sometime so count me in on any of the set-up logistics.

No tickets yet and we will be driving from Huntsville. Might need a place to crash. We’ll see.

The last home Bama game I went to was at Legion Field. The only time I’ve been to a game in Tuscaloosa was my season year in high school … when I got Kevin Turner’s autograph. :-)

Looking forward to meeting all the cool kids and the crazy ones, too!

I suppose i should have noticed it was SITP, since the avatar is the same, but I didn’t. Now I’ve figured out that I’m also being followed by Queen, but I still have no idea who a few of these others are.

Please admit it if you are any of the following:

@SoundCheckMama
@bamabecky
@spookybama

Dudes are fine too, they just don’t seem to be randomly following me like the ladies.

I’m @OrlandoMcCain , I don’t tweet much, and I’m pretty uninteresting when I do, but there you go.

I’ll likely still be here in Tuscaloosa by the time this comes around, but as a rule of practicality I don’t make plans more than a couple of weeks in advance. I may or may not have a single extra ticket for someone to go to the game with me. I may or may not participate in the meetup and then go to the game with my dad. I may or may not participate in the meetup and not go to the game, in which case I may or may not need someone to drink with the whole time. Someone remind me of this around the end of September.

I’ll be there. I always try to get back for at least one game and this just made the choice much clearer.

I have room to crash in Birmingham for my people…you know who you are.

I would have needed a ride back home to Tuscaloosa anyway.

I’m looking to stay at the Hampton Inn near McFarland and University for the A-Day festivities. What are the neighborhoods like along U Blvd? I’d rather not have a Chevy Chase-like (from “Vacation”) experience if I can avoid it, and I wanted to walk to the stadium on the big day. Any thoughts? Good hood? Take my brass knuckles and my Teamsters ID card?

Many thanks for anyone’s help and I do encourage smartass remarks as long as they are truthful & sincere. ;]]

I’d love to meet all of you sometime, but that will be unlikely in the near term.

But I may be able to pull off a few tickets. No promises but we’ll see.

I can say with all seriousness, if you don’t have tickets, it won’t be an issue getting one on the cheap on gameday. With our stadium getting all huge-ified, it has flooded the resale market with tickets. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I could not give away a ticket to the Ole Miss game last year (most were selling in the $10-$15 range.) Sure, other people wanted to take it to resell it, but no took us up on the free ticket to use it. I imagine Vandy will be a similar situation. Sure, you’ll have to pay for the primo seats, but if you just want to get into the game, it won’t be an issue.

But is there a space designated for this tailgate already? Also perhaps a shuttle to/from egan’s and the tailgate?

this post needs a few more recs please

…I’ll be happy to carpool to the game and/or shuttle folks around Birmingham.

but can’t guarantee I’ll make it to a meetup. Since I live out of state and that’s my only chance each year to see a lot of my old college buddies, Homecoming is usually pretty busy for me.

am currently trying to talk the wife into this. We had plans of putting all our eggs in the LSU game basket. But this looks like it’s easily going to be the biggest RBR meet up yet so I think I have to make special plans to attend. I’m not 100% yet, but I’m getting there.

I might have to fly in so the fancy car may not be there but I still have transportation for 2 from B’ham. Keep the updates on RBR please because I don’t tweet.

Can’t wait to meet Y’all

But it’s not set in stone where we set up. You folks are ALWAYS welcome (for this meet up weekend or otherwise).

I may know more about the location as the season moves along since we typically try to find a spot and stay within ‘rock-throwing-distance’ from that point for the whole season. I’ll keep you posted if you want, just let me know.

It’s hard for me to get to Egan’s since I spend most of the early part of the day finishing the set up and getting set for the guests that show up. Then, by the time that’s done, I’m watching the games on satellite. I do want to get over there for a least a drink (or so) at some point…

in years and I would LOVE to show the hubs what Alabama tailgaiting is all about! Because I am traveling in from out of state, I will not be able to cook up any of my wings or make any dips or such, but I am more than willing to contribute money to help purchase things and/or go with someone to Publix Friday night or Saturday morning to stock up!

but dammit… I want to be there!!

are LSU and the Iron Bowl. but there’s a not completely improbable chance i’ll be in town when this transpires. if so, you’ll find me at eagan’s when i’m not crawling through the stacks of the library.

for those who don’t already know

starts at the bar around 8 (if the door ain’t open just sit down and take a nap until they open up)

I abhor the goddam devil juice that is a bloodymary but I have been told that the ones that are served at Egans are equal parts breakfast and pick me up

but I’ll be in town for the Vandy game and I’ll do what I can to meet up

on Doris Pate Drive or seen it? I don’t need the Fours Seasons (T-town doesn’t have an equivalent anyway), but I don’t want to be afraid to lay down on the sheets or touch anything in the room either. I have a room booked at the Hilton Garden Inn, but Comfort Inn is much cheaper, but I don’t know if that equates to going home with bed bug bites…

…but I won’t remove my mask…

what’s the news on tickets?

Hope y’all will play nice.
