This post is several months overdue. Either life has gotten busy or I've gotten lazy (probably the latter). Several adventures have taken place since mid-September, but none more eventful than Football Season.
We attended several games this year - UGA v Boise St which I already posted on, UGA v Mississippi St in Athens, and then LSU @ Alabama in Tuscaloosa. My blood pressure swears I attended more games (especially UGA v UF) but those are the only ones I have photo evidence of.
Our trip to Athens was wonderful - perfect crisp, fall morning with a hint of bourbon and football. We tailgated with one of my favorite tweeps Robert Wolfe ("Tweeps": Twitter + Peeps). His crew sets up an amazing tailgate right behind the stadium. If we ever move back down South we will absolutely join this tailgate. They do it right. Plenty of food, drink and TVs to waste the day away. He's only steps away from the Dawg Walk and Coach Todd Grantham (#KTMFD) post game tailgates a few spots away. As you'll see from the photos, many a tweeps came by before the 12:30pm kickoff.
The LSU v Alabama game had even more flavor to it. We always enjoy our trips to Tuscaloosa and this year was no exception. The best place to stay is Hotel Gambrell - named for our gracious hosts, aka Russ' parents. This year it was dubbed as The Game of the Century...#1 v #2. The town was packed and we got the royal tour. On Friday we toured The Zone, which is Bama's answer to the age old issue of sitting in a suite but feeling far away from the crowd. In The Zone, your seats are outside but inside are all amenities you would ever want. We also checked out the suites on the opposite endzone. Our tailgate was hosted by a friend of a friend and was the place to be. The game itself was exciting and very, very cold.
Without further adieu, pictures from our 2011 football adventures...
