Rooted for the Tide for reasons too complex to explain. What a well run team. May they succeed against Texas on January 7th in the Rose Bowl.

(Public consumption of alcohol is generally illegal in Canada so I don't have any first-hand experience with tailgate parties!) Dear Peter, First of all, take everything SP says with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I love hyperbole about as much as a tall glass of bourbon. Take into account also that as a Southerner, I do love a tall tale, was raised on them and try my best to keep the oral traditions alive. Add all that together and subtract a little reality and you'll land a bit closer to the truth that not everyone is imbibing for eight hours or even at all. But then again, some of us do. Oh, and as for legality, on game day law enforcement tend to turn a blind eye to the "open container" law which says one can't drink in public.

Makes one understand why SP would advise: just wear jeans. I am happy that Mr. Bryant could help turn a kid from gritty Western Pennsylvania into Joe Namath, so Joe could become a New Yorker with a funny accent, a great arm, and leadership skills. Thank you, Alabama, for that. As for the education it gave a cousin of mine -- maybe it will show itself in another ten years. Dear Jason, Points all well taken.
