Flat Stanley Discovers Alabama Football

Hi Adeline,

I have discovered the most fun sport -- Watching Football! That's what everybody in Alabama does on Saturday afternoons in the fall.

I was at the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday, and like everybody else, I was watching the Alabama vs. Mississippi State game on TV.

At halftime, we walked two blocks to a store to buy ice cream, and nobody -- I mean NOBODY -- was outside. No one on the beach, no one else walking along the road, no one driving cars.

Stan points to the final score, Alabama 25, Mississippi State 20. How do you like his new shirt?

The game was amazing! I got a new shirt, too. It's important around here to wear appropriate colors on football day. It's OK to wear University of Alabama clothing any time, but it is required on game day.

I got so excited that I almost lost my head. Luckily, we had a Band-Aid.

Stan interviews Alabama Quarterback Black Sims after the game. Nah, not really. Stan is posing in front of the TV. 

The best part of today was that we won. "Roll Tide Roll." That's what we Alabama fans yell, win or lose. But we usually win.

That's all for now.
XOXO and RTR.
