Readers: Hi Shereen.
I find myself with a case of the "weekdays" on any day other than Saturday when I can watch my beloved Tide step onto the field and do what they do best-play football.
Am I alone?
When I'm traveling for vacation or for business, I always pack my "vintage" class of 1996 shakers and check ahead to locate the nearest alumni chapter to see where 'my people' will be gathered-eyes glazed and shakers poised ready to celebrate our team's every success.
Is that wrong?
I have spent more cash on a football ticket to an Alabama home game during an undefeated season than an ATM will allow you to take out in one day.
Should I be concerned?
I have given preferential treatment and shown bigger/friendlier smiles to those people who can be identified as fellow Alabama fans. Whether it be a car flag, a baseball hat or a Craigslist posting for a television with a screen shot of the Alabama game; if you are with me-then I am for you! I'll honk and wave at you like with your car flags, high five you in a Bama cap as you walk by on the sidewalk and buy your TV without even seeing it in person-because we're family!
Aren't we?
I cannot control a "roll tide" yelp when I pass someone displaying a logoed item. Today I saw a man walking down the street holding an Alabama mug and I shouted "Roll Tide" from a stop light-and he waved back.
Is that scary?
Whether standing amidst hundreds of Alabama fans at a bar or with over 100,000 at Bryant Denny Stadium, yelling "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer" always gives me goose bumps!
Do you think I have a problem?
Readers: Thank you Shereen. Please have a seat.
