Fans in town for the football game will have the opportunity to catch a sneak peek of Anthony Grant's squad.

I hope the team is pleasantly surprised by a large turnout Saturday. Are they advertising it well?

If I was going to the game, I'd sure drop in to watch 'em. Jamos, you going by?

I hope there is a large turnout too. I had not heard about it until I was looking for something on rolltide.com and saw the article. I posted it hoping this message board may help get the word out.

@AlabamaHoops has been tweeting about it all week.  The players are signing autographs after the scrimage.  I'll be there with my 7 yr old.  He's pumped to see the basketball and football team all in one day. :D

No I will start cooking early Saturday at our tailgate, we're expecting a lot of folks. I will be attending an invite practice Wednesday evening, they are providing a BBQ meal, CAG will speak to us, and then we will watch a practice. I'm really looking forward to this.

Can't, my MIL, who I dearly love, is celebrating her 77th birthday, so
I'll be watching it on the tube flat screen.

Can't blame you there, I lost my MIL 2 yrs ago at the young age of 98 and I wish she was still here. Too bad all of you can't be up here to celebrate here birthday at our tailgate though, now that would be neat. Tell her I said happy birthday and I'll be listening for a big Roll Tide from her.  :D

That would be great. I really enjoy tailgating with you guys. Don't think you'll hear a Roll Tide from her, though. She's a barner fan.  :-[

Oh, that's just terrible. You need to remind her that she can still ask for forgiveness and cleanse her soul by just learning how to say Roll Tide every day.  :D

It's a funny story really. I think she is a barner fan for the same reason my wife is. Both husbands (my FIL & yours truly) are, and always have been, obnoxious and rabid Bama fans. They are barners out of spite. Paw Paw and I should have the last laugh this year. :D
