Cynical Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited June 26, 2018 by Cynical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Up there, it's not "Roll Tide", it's "Roll Tide, eh." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I hit Paducah, KY it was okay. Edited June 28, 2018 by Sky Diver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
