I-University of Alabama iyayazi ibhola layo. Uphumelele emincintiswaneni kazwelonke kusukela ngo-2009, akekho ongaphikisana nokuphumelela kwe-Alabama. Ukusebenza kwamuva kweCrimson Tide kubuyiselwe phambili kulolu hlelo, kodwa kube yindawo enhle ukubamba umdlalo. Amandla aqoqile eminyakeni yamuva futhi ngethemba ukuthi ungakwazi ukuhlela uhambo nabangani noma umndeni ukuyobona ngelinye ilanga i-Tuscaloosa enye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu zebhola ekolishi ekolishi.
Futhi uma uthanda amanani ekolishi omuhle, i-Alabama nayo injalo.
Nini ukuya
I-Alabama idlala e-SEC West futhi muva nje i-SEC inqume izitha zayo ezingezona ezahlukana kuze kube ngu-2025. (Noma kuze kube yilapho ingqungquthela isanda futhi ...) I-Crimson Tide iqala ukudlala imidlalo yasekhaya ngokumelene neGeorgia ngo-2020 naseNingizimu Carolina ngo-2024, kodwa akudingeki ukuba ulinde lezo zikole ukuthola umdlalo omuhle ukubona. Imidlalo emihle yokubona eminyakeni eyizinombolo eziyi-Auburn ne-Texas A & M ne-LSU iza edolobheni eminyakeni engakahleleki. I-Auburn yiyona mpikiswano yabo enkulu, kodwa umdlalo uyenzeka ngaphezu kwe-Thanksgiving futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ulahlekelwe yi-buzz evamile yomzimba womfundi. Enye indlela ezoba ngu-Ole Miss, ohamba kahle futhi enomfazi omuhle kakhulu olandelayo. Kodwa uma ungakwazi nje ukucindezela kumphikisi ongaphansi, uzobe ujabulela ku-Tuscaloosa.
Amathikithi
Njengoba ungalindela, amathikithi akuzona izinto ezilula ukuza. Ngokuvamile ngeke ukwazi ukuthola amathikithi emakethe oyinhloko ngeYunivesithi yase-Alabama ngoba amathikithi amaningi athengiswa kuba-alumni noma abafundi.
Mhlawumbe uzophetha ukubuka izinketho zamathikithi eziphambili njenge-StubHub ne-eBay noma i-aggregator yamathikithi (cabanga uKayak ngamathikithi ezemidlalo) njenge SeatGeek. I-Craigslist ingenye indlela yokwenza ukusebenzisana, kodwa ayikho ukuphepha okufanayo kokwazi ukuthi uthenga amathikithi wangempela. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwami ku-Tuscaloosa, noma kunjalo, kuphumelele.
U-Craiglist uvame ukwamukelwa ngokwengeziwe ngabantu abazama ukukhipha amathikithi kunokuthandwa kwe-StubHub.
Ukufika Lapho
Ngokusobala ungathumela ku-Tuscaloosa uma izibalo ekushayela ibanga zikufanele, kodwa wonke umuntu uzobe ehamba. Birmingham yizindiza ze-closets futhi cishe ihora ukusuka eTuscaloosa. I-American, Delta, Southwest, United, ne-US Airways yizindiza eziyisihlanu eziya eBirmingham. Uma izindiza eziya eBirmingham zithengiswa, ungaphinde ungene e-Atlanta, eMemphis, noma eNashville, kodwa lezo ezihamba phambili kuTuscaloosa ziphakathi kwamahora amathathu namane.
Amahhotela
Kukhona ukungabi namahhotela eTuscaloosa ngoba idolobha lasekolishi. Amahhotela ngokuvamile aqala ukuthatha ukubhuka ngonyaka kusengaphambili, ukuze ukwazi ukuthola ikamelo e-Holiday Inn Express noma e-Hampton Inn uma usesabelomali futhi uhlele kusengaphambili. I-Capstone yihhotela elihle kunazo zonke kulabo abanesabelomali esikhulu. Kukhona amanye amahhotela eduze nomgwaqo omkhulu noma ngaphesheya koMfula eNorthport, kodwa lawo okungenani amakhilomitha amathathu ukusuka kude yedolobha laseTuscaloosa noma i-campus. Ukuqasha indlu noma i-condo nge-VRBO.com noma i-Airbnb cishe kuyindlela enhle kakhulu uma ungatholi ikamelo lehhotela eduze ne-campus. Uzoba nesimo esihle uma ungathola indawo edolobheni (cishe iYunivesithi kuya ku-9th st.
phakathi kuka-19 no-24, Ave, kodwa ungakwazi ukuhlala endaweni engamakhilomitha angu-1.5 ukusuka eBryant-Denny Stadium. Amatekisi akulula ukufika (cishe uzolinda cishe imizuzu engama-30 ukuze ubonise), kodwa okungenani ube ngamakhilomitha angu-1.5 enkundleni ikuvumela ukuba uhambe ngezindawo. Ukuhlala eBirmingham kungenye indlela, kodwa ulapha ukuze ubone i-Tuscaloosa kukho konke okufanele inikele. (Ezinye izigxobo eBirmingham ezinjenge-Otey zinikeza amabhasi eTuscaloosa ezinsukwini zemidlalo.)
Ukumisa
Ukulinganisa eTuscaloosa akuyona into eyayisetshenziswa. Kungcono. Iningi lezenzo liye lathuthela ku-Quad eminyakeni yamuva, okungcono. Ephakathi nendawo phakathi kwekampus kanye nenyakatho-ntshonalanga yenkundla, i-Quad yindawo enkulu lapho abantu beka khona izindawo zabo zokuqala kusukela ngoLwesihlanu. Ama-Generator awavunyelwe, kepha kunamathuba okuthola ugesi nama-grills avunyelwe.
Ungenza abangane bese uhambahamba nge-rack of ubhiya engama-30 ngisho noma ungazi ukuthi ubani ozoqala usuku. Imigqa yokugezela e-Port-A-Potties ingathola isikhathi eside kakhulu ngezinsuku ezinkulu zemidlalo, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ulungiselela ngokufanele. Kubuye kutholakale kahle eduze ne-Walk of Champions, lapho i-Alabama football ihamba khona idlula zonke izithombe eziya enkundleni cishe amahora amabili nemizuzu engu-15 ngaphambi komdlalo ngamunye ekhaya.
Ukudla
I-Barbecue isisekelo saseNingizimu futhi iTuscaloosa imelela lokho ngokugcwele. Ezinye zezinyosi ezinhle e-United States zikhona e-Archibald's eNorthport (hhayi ngezobuchwepheshe iTuscaloosa, kodwa ngokuseduze) ngaphesheya komfula. Kuyaphazamiseka kakhulu ngoba kungumgwaqo emgwaqeni onokuthula onawo amatafula epikiniki ngaphandle, kodwa ungakhohliswa. Kuzobe sekukhona ukulinda lapho uya khona, ngakho uthole noma yini ukudla okutholakala uma ufika phambili. Uzojabula kakhulu ngezimbambo, ingulube ekhishwe, noma noma yini oyitholayo. I-sauce eviniga esekelwe i-ingulube ehanjisiwe ayikho kuleli zwe futhi ungesabi ukuqhubeka uyithululela ngaphandle uma usulungele ukuletha i-jug yayo ekhaya. Yazi nje ukuthi isangweji esisodwa alanele. Ukuhleleka okuphezulu kuyinto okufanele uyenze ngoba kungekho izinhlangothi ngaphandle kwesinkwa esimhlophe esimhlophe.
I-chain yezintandokazi ze-Dreamland inezindawo eziyisishiyagalombili, kodwa indawo yayo yasekuqaleni i-Tuscaloosa. Leyo ndawo iveza nesipiliyoni esilula se-barbecue. Izinto ziqala ngesitsha esilula se-sauce ukuhamba ngesinkwa sakho esimhlophe. Baziwa ngezimbambo zabo futhi akukho okunye okunye kwimenyu. Ungaphinde ukondle ukudla kwakho nge-sausage kanye nenye yezinhlangothi zawo ezintathu (isaladi lezambane, ubhontshisi obhakiwe, ne-banana pudding).
Nakuba kungase kusimangaze, kukhona ukudla okungewona izakhelo edolobheni kanye. Okukhethwa kukho kwasekuseni okungcono kunazo zonke edolobheni yiRama Jama, lapho uzothola khona izintandokazi zaseningizimu njengama-biscuits kanye nama-grits ukuze uhambe namaqanda avamile njengamaqanda, isobho kanye nama-pancake. Abantu bendawo bayibiza ngo-Nick ku-Sticks, kepha uzothola njengeNick's Original Filet House lapho ufuna umcibisholo omuhle. Futhi banento okuthiwa uNikodemu, okuyisisekelo esibizwa ngokuthi i-punch isithelo. Abantu ababukayo banganelisa amaphiko akho e-Buffalo Phil. Ungathola futhi amaphiko amahle ahambisana ne-pub fries ku-Innisfree. I-Catch Local inikeza okukhethwa kukho isidlo se-nicer nge-Caribbean fish tacos kuba yiyona evelele kwimenyu. I-Surin, i-5, ne-Chuck yilezi ezinye zezinketho zokudla nge-upscale. I-Grill esheshayo yindawo yokudla yakho yokugcina yokudla okuphuzile okukhethwa yizinyosi eziyinkimbinkimbi njengento okumele uyikhokhe.
Amabha
Esinye esihle kunazo zonke kulabo abafuna ukujabulela ukuthi imigoqo e-Tuscaloosa ivuliwe kuze ku-3 ekuseni Kukhona izindawo ezimbili eziyinhloko zemigoqo: i-campus kanye nedolobha elisemadolobheni. Abakwa-campus bahlala ikakhulukazi esixukwini esincane njengoba ubungalindela. Iningi lesixuku esincane sibonakala siphelela kuGalette, esinomugqa ngaphandle ngaphandle kokuqala ngo-10: 00 noma ngaphezulu. Kuyingqayizivele ngoba awusoze watshela ibha kusukela ingaphandle kungumnyango ongaqondakali eduze kwe-Campus Party Store. Uma ungena ngaphakathi uzothola ibhola noma i-DJ idlala umculo kanye neqembu lezingane zasekolishi ezijabulela i-yellowhammers ne-$ 4 ibhomu yezingane. Izakhamuzi zizokutshela ukuthi amantombazane enhlanhla ajwayele ukuphela ebusuku. Ezinye izinketho ezinhle ezungeze i-campus zihlanganisa i-Rounders, esanda kuvuleka futhi ithola ukunakwa okuningi. Kunezinsuku ezimbalwa ukujabulela uphahla oluthile-ukuphuza kakhulu ngosuku olubandakanya i-Bear Trap. I-Houndstooth Sports Bar yabizwa ngokuthi yi-bar yokudlala yezemidlalo ezweni lonke yi-Sports Illustrated esikhathini eside esidlule futhi isetshenziselwa isixuku esidala.
Ungase futhi ube nedolobha elisemnandi. I-Innisfree engenhla ingenye yezingcingo ezimbi kunawo wonke kule ndawo enezikhala zombili zangaphakathi nangaphandle ukuze ujabulele kusihlwa kusihlwa emuva nge-upperclassmen kanye ne-alumni. Kuzoba khona umugqa lapho ngezimpelasonto zebhola. Vala uzothola i-The Booth, enomkhathi ofanayo. I-catch 22 isezansi emgwaqweni, kodwa futhi inehlobo olufanayo lwesixuku ukuze lihambisane nokufaka iziphuzo ze-vodka.
