The first fan in line at L.S.U. was Tuck Freyer, a lawyer. He had claimed his spot around 8:30 a.m. His counterpart at Alabama, Bobby Hunter, a Walmart employee, arrived four days before the event to be first in line.

¶ When I arrived in Baton Rouge, the cabdriver who brought me to my hotel talked almost exclusively about the heavy rain the area had been getting. The driver who brought me to my hotel in Tuscaloosa asked if I thought Alabama would repeat as national champion almost as soon as I climbed into his cab.
¶ I popped into Mexican restaurants near both university campuses. In Baton Rouge, the employees wore uniforms that reflected the theme of the restaurant. In Tuscaloosa, employees dressed as if they would be attending an Alabama football game when they finished work.
¶ The breakfast buffet at my hotel in Baton Rouge was listed on my receipt simply as a “breakfast buffet.” The breakfast buffet at my hotel in Tuscaloosa was listed as the “Walk of Champions buffet.”
