An Alabama Game

So this was my actual birthday, and we had to be in Tuscaloosa by 6:00AM...so we left the house around 4:15AM.  Our scout troop has joined the Alabama parking crews and manning two gates on campus during each home game.  This game against Louisiana was an 11:00AM kickoff, so it was nice that we only had to work till 11:00AM, BUT...it was very early to get there. 
 
So we found out that our barrier worked for most people except one parent that somehow fit past the barrier to pick up his kid.  Oh well, he didn't get in the way.  Other than moving the barrier periodically, we basically just sat and chatted with the Burson family that joined us at this gate.  Davis did not join us as he had a flag football game. 
 
Sam and I were both excited to see Tua play, but by the time we walked over to the stadium, Alabama was up by 28 and when we got to our seats Jalen Hurts was already playing.  Oh well, we had great seats that...ehhh...we were probably not supposed to be in, but they were in the shade, and well, that was enough for me.  We watched the game until the 3rd quarter, when Tua came back in for one series and TOUCHDOWN!  Pretty amazing team to watch...as we left in the end of the 3rd, their third string quarterback was throwing a 90 yard TD.  On the way back to the van, Sam and I figured we would catch some pictures...I had to get one with the Bear...Sam elected for the stadium and a robot buried near the art building.
