OT: Annual Running of the Gumps
Living in Alabama I have to tolerate bama fans, however, they do provide countless enterainment. Every year when they have fan day they open the gates at the stadium and the sprint begins. This event to non-alabama fans has become known as the running of the gumps, (i.e. Forest Gump). It is hilarious to witness. Can't get embed to work, but the link also has pictures which are priceless.

I wore an outfit like Forrest's in the OP picture to church yesterday! (Minus the Bubba Gump hat) One of my favorite movies.

At first glance, i actually thought they recreated the Gump run the movie, just for the sake of doing it. You know, a sprint from the end zone to the stadium exit. The time lapse looked like a bunch of ants finding their place in a rush to judgment.
I notice that Alabama plays one of those schedules where it plays at home through September and then spreads four road games through the rest of the season, with a long journey to Auburn closing out the season. The Tide opens against Wisconsin and plays Mississippi State and Georgia on the road, their toughest road games.
