🏈 BamaDelta

How was the plane ride over with the Tide? I just read that Coach was not happy but how was everyone else? :a:

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

what was wrong with the coach?

It was a great experience once again. I sometimes pinch myself in the middle of the flight just to make sure it's really happening. It's just so funny to see these men and boys on TV or hear them in interviews, and then to have them there right in front of you....wow! Then you realize they're just kids and regular men and no big deal. But then you remember they're freaking Alabama and it's....just funny.

I don't know if any of you saw the very beginning of the broadcast where they showed the arrival of the team on the Delta airplane. Then they show Chapman and Hightower deplaning. I was literally right on the other side of Hightower just inside the airplane. My kids asked me next time to stick my head out as they leave the airplane. Sure the team would love that.

I don't know how seat assignments are done but only 3 defensive guys were up front. I don't think it's something I'm not supposed to share, but I'll let you guess just in case. :smile: I'll give you a hint and let you know 2 are seniors and one is quite possibly the very most important ingredient in our secondary. Tough one there, right?

There was a player that got sick (1st for me). The staff treated it pretty low key and didn't seem worried. I was. I was glad to see this player on the field and playing Sat. I can't go into details, but it wasn't like a cold or vomiting. I can tell you it wasn't a player that has had any kind of prior medical situation from what I know as a fan.

There was a freshman "situation" in the back of the airplane that I'll tell you I was not impressed with. I wasn't back there, but my fa's let me know it wasn't cool. It settled down, so further action wasn't necessary. I don't know the freshman just yet (except for big recruits), but I will keep a watch on this particular one. I think I know how they're taught to behave to us and to ONE ANOTHER as teammates, and this guy wasn't doing either.

I always enjoy hearing about your experiences with the team Delta! Great stuff as always!

 

[BamaDelta]

BTW, it was great to see Dareus and Ingram back. Marcell Dareus had a smile a mile wide.

thanks for the information, did you pace back and forth on the plane?

Nah, the players take up too much of the aisle.

The possibility of a decompression, medical emergency, onboard fire or emergency landing....no problem. The thought of watching Alabama try to contain Mallet on Sat. Now that's stressful for me. :shock:

I take it your not allowed to where a :a: pin or anything on your uiform.
lol just to let em know what your favoright color is.
or can you even wisper a little "Roll Tide" as they deplane? lol

I'd be going queitly crazy inside. I'd kill to have several autographs......But i NEVER ask for them.
Mainly becuse with Celebs & big time Jocks....it get's anoying sometimes.
Poor Mark cant even go out and eat anymore with out some one comming up to him.
and as bad as i'd want it...i stay away becuse they get hounded so much.
About all i'll do is say hello in passing.

Oh no, we can definitely wear Alabama stuff on our uniform, Alabama jewelry, Houndstooth pocket scarves, hair ribbons, etc... Believe me, they know I'm 100% Alabama. The coaches (and some players) up front all know my story....LOL. I decorate the airplane and have fun with it. Pretty much charters don't operate like most flights in regards to regulations. Sssshhhh, you didn't hear that here.

We aren't allowed to ask for autographs or pictures (Delta rules). Some do and know there is a risk with it. There can be ways around that....but it just all depends. I usually play it close to the rules for many reasons. I respect them and would rather them have a "safe" environment and be focused on their task at hand (on way to game) or resting/recovering (on way home).

They don't like many announcements, but I always give a Roll Tide on their way on and out. It's not a stiff environment, but it's definitely professional and always businesslike.

what would Delta think if you put a big rolltidebama sticker on the side of the plane?

I think a big RollTideBama.com banner behind the plane's tail will do the trick.

We'll definitely need a sticker and not a magnet. We tried to stick my Alabama "A" magnets on the outside of the airplane, but they wouldn't stay.:smile:

Co-Pilot: Jim we're getting some power loss in number 2.
Captain: Throttle her back a little bit probly just another bird strike

I'm curious Delta...what were the guys wearing? Suits or Bama Gear?
I would expect suit & tie.

You expected correctly. :smile:
