Extra, Extra!

This time of year for UA students tends to lend itself to lots of sleeping, laziness, and boredom. So, I've been using my time wisely and doing as much research as possible to make sure we get the absolute most out of our trip. I've discovered that using an online discount code for Enterprise really did give us an almost unbeatable deal on a midsize (Chevy Malibu or similar) car. However, I'm going to keep looking so we save money where we can.

The team starts bowl practices tomorrow for a few days before breaking for the holidays. After rewatching the Texas-Nebraska game, I am confident that we can continue to do what we've been doing all year, and win the game. If Nebraska had an offensive football team, we would be playing Cincinnati on January 7th.

Also, I've sent some emails out to the editors of the major newspapers in Alabama asking if they would be interested in covering our trip in their papers. I've already received positive news from one, and hope to get more tomorrow. Other than the game, our plans once we arrive in the LA area on Wednesday are pretty fluid, so hopefully we'll get some ideas on how to best spend that time in the coming days. I forgot how hot Reese Witherspoon is in the movie Sweet Home Alabama, so my attention will turn to watching the rest of this movie on USA. Take care!
