Do you lay in bed at night thinking, “how do I create the perfect football charcuterie board for game day?” Yeah, me either. But, in the event that we did do that, I created this simple guide with five tips to steer us in the right direction. We represent — tailgating tips: TAILGATING TIPS 1. Read the Room This one is pretty important and will help you avoid people gagging at the thought of eating goat cheese. Typically, I stand by the rule of a soft cheese, a hard cheese, two meats, crackers, something sweet, fruits, a spread, and some…
It was Tua Tagovailoa’s injury to the head that made everyone’s jaw drop during the Thursday night game against the Bengals. Presenting the incident as a “back and neck” injury, the Miami Dolphins are getting ready to go through some serious investigation. Tua’s injury appeared to be a concussion during the previous game against the Buffalo Bills. He showed signs of this, as he was wobbly upon standing. However, he was cleared to play, and some people are pretty angry. Media has done nothing short of play the blame game. https://twitter.com/i/status/1575661308653240320 Responsibility of Veteran Players There was a lot of…
Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion was the slam heard around the world on Thursday night. After what appeared to be a concussion last week in the Miami Dolphins game against the Buffalo Bills, Tua was allowed to play. There’s been an enormous amount of blame placed on everyone from the doctors to his own parents. I will let you make your own judgement on who should accept responsibility by breaking down the poor decisions that were made following his injury. 1. Clearance to Play Tua is obviously stumbling after getting up from what appeared to be a hit to the head. He…
You’ve been wearing your lucky Alabama Crimson Tide game day T-shirt for years and we get it. We love a good Bama tee. You’ve also been getting your dad a variation of the same Alabama sweatshirt for the last four years as a Christmas gift and we do not doubt that he loves it. However, maybe it’s time to step it up with your game day “swag.” I’ve searched the internet for the most unique game day items, as well as some good gifts for only the most serious Alabama fan. For an enhanced shopping experience, make sure you use…
Alabama Crimson Tide fans were scratching their heads (SCREAMING) at halftime with a score of 10-10 in the game against the Texas Longhorns. The last half only got louder with Texas up by six in part of the fourth quarter. This Alabama game was one to remember. Between all of the flags and unusual performances, somehow Alabama made it out with a win at 20-19. Coming down to only a field goal, Bama fans can breathe a sigh of relief that they didn’t actually lose to Texas. We’re a little embarrassed though. What was going on?! A lot of things.…
You’re confused. I get it. But not as confused as I was when I looked down into a sad, styrofoam (don’t judge me), bowl of Velveeta/Rotel dip. Don’t get me wrong. It’s “good.” It always will be. However, I just can’t condone this behavior anymore. I’m better than this. I think back to 2018, 2019, and even 2020. I was a snack GODDESS. The old me would have been disappointed in this crockpot created, mild, cheesy, three-ingredient dip. Have I really become this complacent with the Tide’s winnings that I think we don’t need a little food for encouragement? This…
The Alabama Crimson Tide started the season off strong against the Utah State Aggies on Saturday, September 3, 2022, with score of 0-55. Did we really expect anything less? No. However, there were a few things that stood out in the Alabama game that should make us excited for the season. Nick Saban was pretty satisfied as well. I’m not saying that this was a riveting game that had us looking past our classic Velveeta/Rotel dip, but it was a chill, blowout of a game that set the tone for the season. 1. Explosive Defense It is no shock that…
