Florida snubs GTR to spend night with Big AL

[Maroon13]

Bo is enjoying that Florida is staying in Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa to Starkville is an easy drive. 82miles - 90minutes
Philadelphia to Stark, terrible drive
60 miles - 70 minutes
Tupelo to Stark easy drive.
65 miles 60 minutes

Back In the day, visitors stayed in Columbus at the big (for Columbus) hotel at 82 bypass and 45 north. It is a LaQuinta now but was a Hilton many years ago. I remember it had a large lobby and meeting rooms. I guess since it's a laQuinta, that brand doesn't fit.

Also looks like State is using the Marriot in town now. Under Moorhead, State used the HGI. Not sure why Florida didn't use the HGI. But back in Spurrier days, Florida woild
Fly into Tuscaloosa and stay in Tuscaloosa Friday night.

Maybe their bus will blow a tire and we will win by forfeit

You know what to do Reform PD.

The HGI in Starkville is downright nasty.

Oh gezzz. No it's not.

 

[Brokerdawg]

Obviously respect your opinion. We simply disagree. I stay in Hilton's all over the south. I now stay in the Courtyard when I visit Starkville which is a Marriot property.

 

[Bulldog45]

I would say that’s good. With the limited number of hotel rooms in Starkville better for the fans coming into town for an early kickoff

Maybe their current AD is not familiar with the territory. **

"the town that Saban built" has the nicest hotels other than Memphis

Bama is in an off week - easy easy decision

I hope they slow down when they come through Reform!

What a dump.

I guess Stricklin not only turned his back on Miss State, but he has also turned is back on Mississippi. When he and Cohen get fired, and they will I don't want them to be welcomed back in no compacity at Miss State. I don't even want them on campus. If I see him, I will boo him Saturday.

Yes, it is. I’ve probably stayed there a couple hundred nights in the last few years. I’m a Hilton Diamond lifetime member. It gets worse every stay. I can’t get the gov rate at Mariott or I would stay there.

Lots of construction workers for the aluminum plant filling up the hotels in Columbus. Probably why Florida is staying in Tuscaloosa

It would not meet my definition of "nasty". It is showing some age. But it isnt "nasty".
