So the lights
went out inthe '83 game in Foxboro, that would've been Perkin's first
year. Bama went 7-4 in the regular season that year. I don't remember any of the
details of the'83 game, but I do know Bama lost.I remember being
really sick after the '84 season opener with BC in Birmingham. That was
thegame were Kerry Goode was all-world in the first half, Bama had a
sizable lead, then Goode blew-out his knee on the opening second half kickoff.
Flutie starting his Heisman run in the second half against Bama as well and
Bama's'84 season went down hill from that point.
btw, they'll
definitely be watching the Bama game at the bars in Nashville on the 27th, the
locals willall be pulling for the Cyclones.
Have a safe trip
to Nashville, just use the terms "we'ins" and "you'ins" a lot and you'll fit
right in!
ROLL TIDE
ROLL!!!

wanted to play Boston College I was actually at that game 17 years
ago...It was the only Alabama game I have ever had the pleasure of
attending...It was the night the lights went out in the stadium in
Massachusetts. In addition to being a long time Alabama fan ( long distance )
and a behind the scenes member of this list for the past 4 years, I also
happen to be an alum of Boston College. My family had already decided to pack
up the van and head south for the MCB for the difficult task of watching the
battle between my alma mater and my favorite college team. My second Alabama
experience. We will still be there but it will not be quite the big event we
had anticipated. Although the good news is I can route for the old alma mater
now. I do plan on watching the Alabama game from a Bar in Nashville That
is if they allow Alabama football to be shown in the state of Tennesee...That
should be a trip,Jerry from Michigan
