Alabama Crimson Tide Opening Day

Saturday, September 2, 2006 I went tailgating to the Alabama vs. Hawaii game. I played football while we were tailgating almost the whole time. We got to the game exactly 40:00 minutes early. When it came time for the game we sat down in the bleachers. The starting quarterback was John Parker Wilson. He threw two touchdown passes. Keith Brown caught the two touchdown passes. Tim Castille ran in one touchdown. Van Tiffin son, true freshman Leigh Tiffin kicked three of four field goals for injured junior Jamie Christensen. Hawaii had the ball the last few seconds. With one second left ,Hawaii through a fly and Lionel Mitchell caught it for the only interception in the game. The score at the end of the game was 25 - 17 win for Alabama for a first game win.
