New Game Day Traditions

Now that we have a Condo in that town up north (Oxford), I'm starting to get the feel for a whole new set of game day traditions.

You get up early to get your pregame setup going.  First stop is the gas station off Hwy 6 at North Lamar.  They have bulk ice, 20 lbs for 2 dollars.  It comes either bagged, or bulk into your cooler.

Unloading your car of the heavy stuff is a whole lot easier at 6:30-7:00 when there is very little activity.  The Eupora Peeps next to us are in for a rude awaking this morning.  Their usual space is one third of their usual spot.  Alabama game squatter dropped a quad set of tents in their chair sitting space!

A stop at the Kroger was full of activity.  The chips and beer guys were buzzing like worker bees, filling racks, loading the coolers and leaving pallets full in the aisles.

The local liquor store, next to one of the many Chevrons, has yard signs posting "we are now fully stocked with airplane bottles!", and expanded parking in the empty lot next door!

The last stop this early game day morning was Shipley donuts for hot and fresh for the Spousal unit!

Best part of Condo, game day, is waking up to the smell of a brisket cooking overnight in the oven.  And rotel dip with sausage will still be warm for the chafing dish when we get to the tent site.

These traditions will have a whole lot more added as the weeks go by.  And if we can just get here on Thursday or early Friday a time or two...

Are you ready???!!!  Almost!  TI me for a quick shower and a five minute ride to heaven!
