First, I will stipulate that I am an asshole. On the way into the game, I noticed the auburn band buses were parked along the street beside Tutwiler. We were able to catch an elevator down from the upper deck following Rammer jammer, so we had about a 1/4 mix of auburn fans as we worked along the sidewalk. One of the bus tenders was working with the storage area of the bus, and I loudly asked, with a Jack Daniels accent, if this was the bus to the Birmingham Bowl. He replied, āThis bus is going to Auburnā and I begged to differ, to the guffaws of Bama fans and eye rolls of loveliest villagers.
This was simultaneously good, bad and ugly. Roll Tide, guys.
