The atmosphere at Bryant Denny Stadium Saturday Night was fantastic. Early in my career, I was always jealous of other stadiums around The SEC that had better GameDay excitement. Kudos to The Alabama staff that work hard to make it buzz, from cheerleaders to the band to the PA Music and everyone else. Now we all go to crazy Tennessee where I’m sure we’ll all miss the friendly confines. – Jim Dunaway
