re: Ricks played HS ball with Bryce Young
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 12/16/21 at 12:02 pm
Yes, Cajun culture is a subculture of the South. Tuscaloosa/Birmingham is metropolitan area that, while southern is no where near as provincial as Baton Rouge and the surrounding area. I’ve lived in Baton Rouge albeit back in the ‘70s. It may have changed but back then it was pretty run down and ge...

re: Ricks played HS ball with Bryce Young
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 12/16/21 at 7:35 am
The rules are the rules. Saban uses them to his advantage. You can’t blame him for that. There were plenty of good reasons to leave LSU (program in disarray, new coaching staff, provincial culture for a California kid) without the fact that Ricks and Bryce Young were HS teammates in Cali, which assu...
Ricks played HS ball with Bryce Young
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 12/16/21 at 7:07 am
I didn’t realize this:
“Before going to LSU, Ricks was a five-star cornerback, ranked as the No. 14 player in the 2020 class. He played his senior season at IMG Academy, but he's from California.
Ricks played with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young at Mater Dei for a year before then. “
So,...
re: I've tried for 2 years to get an answer on the bye week and Bama
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 1/4/19 at 7:01 am
The placement of the bye has more to do with putting it in the middle of the season than putting it before LSU. It's just that LSU is the toughest game for both teams and it's still the 3rd quarter of the season. I doubt Saban or Orgeron would take the bye three weeks into the season no matter who t...

I agree that the SEC office should be moved. It’s about time people demanded that it be moved to Tuscaloosa. I mean think of how much money Bama has made for the SEC? Why should Saban have to drive to Birmingham to wine and dine SEC officials? It’s so unfair. And while we’re at it, we agreed to move...
re: Alabama Fans with NO connection to Alabama
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 11/7/18 at 10:01 am
Bama has more “sidewalk” fans per capita than any other program due to the success of the program. Many fans, like me, grew up in Alabama during Bryant’s decades of dominance, and are now reliving that success under Saban. It’s an amazing thing. Most fans have one or two NCs in a lifetime, while Bam...

I couldn't have come without tickets it if the wife had wanted to attend. Because it was just me and my buddy, we were willing to take our chances and if we didn't find tickets, take in the atmosphere (a show in itself) and then head to a sports bar, but I've found that you usually get better ticket...

It was just the way it worked out. We got there midmorning and got parked in the free, golf course parking across from the stadium (That's another thing that was mindboggling. I'm still amazed that there's free parking available for LSU football games). After that, we concentrated on finding tickets...

My First Game in Tiger Stadium...
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 11/5/18 at 7:59 am
It was incredible. We got to the stadium around 10 am Saturday morning and spent all day walking around, looking for tickets and taking in the sights and interacting with LSU fans. To a person, LSU fans were the nicest, most hospitable, fun-loving group of fans that I've ever encountered, and I've b...

Hit him below the belt and after the whistle. Last time I checked, that’s a penalty.

re: While Saban is great, he has started to ruin the fun/excitement of college game
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 11/4/18 at 7:26 pm
Clemson has as good or better QB now, and a better defensive front, and is as good in every other unit. If Bama makes it that far (State will be physical, Auburn will be tough, UGA will be a slobbernocker) this Clemson/Bama will be a toss up. ...

Super excited! Coming to Death Valley for my first game.
Posted by FloraBamaFrankie on 10/27/18 at 2:59 pm
Visiting every SEC stadium is on my bucket list, and even though I spent a summer in Baton Rouge when I was a teenager (45 years ago) I never attended a game at Tiger Stadium. We’re planning on scalping tickets if we can get some for $300 each or less. If not we take in the atmosphere and head to a ...
