The Game-
With 1:54, Alabama was down 17 to 9. The quarterback drove down. And then on the last play of the game, Alabama scored. With no time left, Alabama went for 2 points. "David Palmer (Duece) took the direct snap from the center and ran around the right side and scored..." (That's a quote from my husband.)
I was thrilled with a tie. My boyfriend wasn't. In fact, my boyfriend is now my husband. The rest of the quote from above was "and that was the worse night of my life." He's being a bit dramatic. But, for him, it was literally traumatic.
I was thrilled. I could get all of my friends together. No one lost. No one was happy. (Ok, ok, my husband insists that the Alabama crowd was happy. We were happy that we didn't loose.) But at least, we could all hang out. We went out for pizza. I have lots of fun pictures from that night.
Here's my husband and I (in 1993) after the game. He smiled for the 1st picture (how did I make him do that?) but he shows his real feelings in the 2nd photo.
Some comments about the photos (because I can't resist):
Check out my lovely perm.
Don't you adore my shoes?
How old does my boyfriend look??
He was 19 and I was 20.
THANKFULLY, NCAA started implementing overtime. No, no, noooo... there will be NO TIES during tomorrow's game!

Love this post. Good sportsman ship tomorrow...remind your hubs. :)
what a picture and yes I do remember those hair styles and clothes
Looking at your pictures takes me right back to highschool. That was the style! Love it and the pictures are CUTE!
CuTe!! You're boyfriend looks like he's 16 in the pic. you don't look much older though. And I like your permy hair, you pulled it off well. :-) I would have been happy with a tie too!
Oh man! What a way to come back!!!!!
You guys look soooo young, and what a great looking couple you two are!!
Thanks for sharing your photos and the story! I always wanted a pair of shoes like those, but never had them....
Man- We all had that Ogilvie Home Perm action going on!!!
Sorry that you didn't win...there is always November!!!
Okay, your perm looks shiny, shiny, shiny. I didn't notice your shoes and I did think your husband looked super young... Overall, however, I think the tie worked out pretty well for you. Hopefully tomorrow will be okay, too.
I changed my mind... the 1993 game is no longer the worst night of my life.
Love the perm!! You look just the same. Seth looks a bit older. :)
I had a perm exactly like that!
Savanah walked up while I was scrolling thru your blog checking out the posts I'd yet to read. When she saw these pictures she had a couple of things to say, starting with - "who are those people?" When I laughingly told her that it was Uncle Seth and Auntie Jane Anne, her next question was - "Is she wearing a wig?" So now I'm laughing even harder and scrolling down to the bottom to leave you a comment and the girl wonder who speed reads asks - "Auntie Jane Anne is older than Uncle Seth?" She then ends her moment of hilarity by stating with much aplomb - "Uncle Seth looks WAY older than Auntie Jane Anne!"
