Are there any Alabama fans in Rochester?

Throwing this out there:

Drive to Canada and hook up with CBF?

 

And don't give me this "It's too far."

It's the Alabama Crimson Tide we are talking about. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

I think Plan B if he can't find a fan base in Rochester is to go to Buffalo. There are a lot of Buffalo area kids at UA and I believe there is a group that watches the games.

 

Canada isn't too much further so that's a possibility.

 

I was in Nova Scotia last week and ran into a few folks wearing Alabama gear. My Roll Tides were returned with blank stares, lol.

You probably said it wrong. You were in Canada.

Up there, it's not "Roll Tide", it's "Roll Tide, eh."

 

:bag:

Then they aren't true Bama fans!

 

My tattoo guy is a Bama fan! We talked Bama the entire time he was doing my tattoo. Nice to talk shop with other Bama fans

One guy was wearing an Alabama hat. I explained the etiquette when two Alabama fans meet. He was apologetic that he had no idea what I was talking about and shook my hand, lol.

 

Nova Scotia is a nice place. I recall watching the Rochester Amerks play the Nova Scotia Voyageurs back in the day. They had a goon named Gilles Lupien who Amerks fans loved to hate. The Amerks had John Wensink, who was a real badass. Old time hockey in the '70s.

 

This is classic John Wensink. I think Oggie Oglethorpe in Slapshot was patterned after him.

 

 

Enjoyed talking hockey when I was up there. Brought back a lot of great memories of going to games with my dad.

I want to go so bad.

 

I want to see the Alexander Keith's brewery, the Halifax Explosion monument, Peggie's Cove, and the Titanic exhibit 

 

There was a really good band at Alexander Keith’s: Signal Hill. 

 

I went to the Citadel, the City Garden, Peggie’s Cove, the South Shore, Grand Pre.

 

I ate a lot of lobster, mussels and oysters and drank a lot of craft beer.

yeah but it will be so worth it man. The Maritimes are beyond beautiful!

 

If you could, try and get to PEI you wont regret it

 

I'm used to driving from WI/NY to Tuscaloosa, so the drive doesn't faze me too much.

Oh ya same distance probably. Maybe a little further to PEI

 

The drive from Albany to Tuscaloosa is long, but scenic. The drive from Central WI was shorter, but driving through WI/IL was mind numbing. Once I hit Paducah, KY it was okay.

I've driven to Alabama's Gulf coast. Beautiful long and wide white sand beaches. 

 

A trip to the "Red Neck Riviera" is a vacation worth taking.

 

I spent a week at Orange Beach. It's not bad.

 

I'm coming up empty on finding folks the guy from Birmingham can watch games with in Rochester.
