Tuscaloosa

The Gordo Green Wave held off the Oakman Wildcats this past Friday night at home on Homecoming night, as the Wildcats tried a fourth-quarter comeback.

I love finding places in Tuscaloosa/West Alabama that carry products you can't find in any other store. I have found so many cool things here, and you simply can not buy them at most retailers. I could spend hours in this place just browsing. It's mainly for restaurant owners but the general public is welcome to shop there as well.

PORCH PIRATES. What a name. Is that what you would want to be called? Apparently, more and more of them have been striking in West Alabama and Alabama in 2024. It appears to be at an all-time high in Alabama, according to ALEA. In fact, folks have been offering "tips" on how to protect your merch from Alabama porch pirates.

Who doesn't LOVE chicken? OK, I am sure that is not the same thing as this HOT, CONTROVERSIAL chicken fight in Northport. Have you heard about the petition? The name calling. Don't get ahead of me.

They claim that it's not possible to remove all creatures that might get a ride along the food processing chain, but the US Food and Drug Administration calls them "food defects" and has "standards" to keep them to a minimum.

Before it's banned (maybe) TikTok is still launching all kinds of fads/trends/challenges around the world. I love cheese. You can never have too much cheese in my opinion. The cheesier the better. That includes string cheese (Walmart's Great Value brand is the best) because it makes the perfect snack.

Hurricane Helene has devastated many communities. Herndon and his "Benevolent Way" group are collecting supplies and taking them to hurricane victims in Florida and the Carolinas this Thursday. The needs continue to be for more bottled water, sports drinks, non-perishable food items, kids' snacks, personal hygiene products, and feminine hygiene products.

Fall is simply the best time of the year. Football and all of the best holidays. There are lots of fun things for families to get excited about in West Alabama in the months of October, November, and December.

A sea creature that is normally not an Alabama or Georgia beach staple is showing up on our beaches in Alabama.

Here we go. Overreaction Monday in the sports world. Alabama won 41-34 in a huge game with #2 Georgia and I spent most of the weekend defending WR Ryan Williams to folks around the country.
