Hope the players and coaches are focused. Certainly been a quiet prep time since this is not a CFP. Seems like it would be a nice boost going into the off season to get a win.

Ties are a thing of the past, thankfully. They flamed out with COVID. Worn one twice since 2020, both when I was speaking in memorial services. Prior to that, wore them 6 days a week. Football players don’t need to wear ties, in my opinion. Form over function, especially on a travel day. You travel in a tie, 50+?

No.

Nope. Sure dont. Been mothers day 22 since i wore one. A bow tie. Best man at a wedding.
Only one since retirement
Had to introduce congresswoman a few years back. Didn't wear a tie. Caught some drift. Lol

Maybe own one. Would have to look. Lol

Bused over to the airport!

Bused over to the airport!

Thats what i thought. But. Don't ever remember traveling part in sweats.

I don't know for sure: haven't bother to look or ask.

I suspect this isn't an "official team travel" situation giving players the choice to drive to Tampa. Think about it. Keeley didn't get to see his family last week due to practice, Christmas, and all the hoopla. He may want to stay in Tampa a day or two and hang out with family.

(I wouldn't. I made that drive a few times when I was living in Tuscaloosa...T-town to Tampa is a long, and boring, drive. I want to say it was eight and a half hours pushing 90+.)

I think so. Use to be could travel with team or travel on own and get milage.

But i remember teams getting off plane. Dressed in coats n ties. I would bet for Stallings/ curry. @OldPlayer ?????? I remember right or wrong?

Gotta say, it's a little wild you ask OP when grad93 was on Stalling's teams'. I've seen players casually dressed on weekends during CGS's time in Tuscaloosa. "Official" team travel thing...

Away places.
But traveling. Maybe my mind has taken a dip with so much going on.

Maybe in a good way?

 

[rick4bama]

[Justneedme81]

Depends on who abused you.

 

[Rolltide24]

Depends on who abused you.

I believe it was the late Keith McCants.

 

[Justneedme81]

I thought it was the late Richard Simmons....
