Bama night at the College Inn
by Luke Douglas
Website Admin for BamaDenver.com
It's not often that I get the chance to join other Alabama Alumni and Fans to watch the Crimson Tide roll over an opponent. My trips to Denver are few, 2-3 times a year, and timing is everything.
However, this weekend I had the immense pleasure to join a couple hundred other Bama fan's in watching Alabama dominate a great LSU team, 29-0. My visit to the College Inn was my first time there but the intensity was the same as what I had viewed at other venue's. It was a family outing with my wife, son and daughter as our blood runs Crimson Red. But it was great to see Dani Johnson again as it had been a few years.
I can't wait for my next visit!
