The Midtown Village store in Tuscaloosa, AL is gearing up for a big home game this Saturday (Oct.24th) as the undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide take on the Tennessee Volunteers. This game represents a 66-year tradition known as "The Third Saturday in October," as in the past Alabama and Tennessee have played on this day. Though the teams no longer maintain this tradition, the same emotion and energy still resonate on game-day when these teams meet in October.

Make sure you stop by the Tuscaloosa store this week and load up on your Tide gear so you can show your support for the home team this Saturday! Don't forget to say "hello" to Sam while you are there!
