Rammer Jammer

Every true Alabama fan should make a pilgrimage to Mercury Bar in New York City at least once in his lifetime. I promise you, if you can't be sitting in Bryant Denny Stadium, then the next best place to be is NYC. Our Tuscaloosa tailgating skills come in handy - everyone knows if you want to get a good table, or just a seat for that matter, you have to arrive several hours before kickoff! What can be better than three hundred crimson-clad fans packed in a bar, cheering at every play, waving pompoms and high-fiving, singing audience-led "Yea Alabama" and "Rammer Jammer" cheers...there is more spirit here than in Gallettes or any frat house on campus!

What's so fun about it, too, is that everyone is family. We all share a love nobody else up here understands. We were commenting tonight how fast the weeks seem to go by now that football season has started. "We're living for Saturdays," as one guy said.

And as long as Bama keeps winning, yes we are!!


Celebrating one of many Alabama touchdowns during the Arkansas game!


The anticipation and thrill of the final second victory!! Could you hear our screaming in Tuscaloosa??


When the score was final, every person in the place sang Sweet Home Alabama as loud as they could!
