Senior Bowl

Saturday we made the one hour drive to Mobile for the Under Armour Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl is an annual event featuring 100 or so of the top senior college football players in an all star game format. The game and practices are attended by over 700 coaches, general managers and scouts from NFL teams. It’s a rare treat to see the best of the best in college football compete in front of the fans and their future prospective employers. The game will featured both quarterback’s from the BCS National Championship game, Chris Leak of Florida & Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith of Ohio State. This year’s Senior Bowl South squad was coached for the second straight year is San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan and his staff, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden and his staff coached the Senior Bowl’s North team. Even a steady rain did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the sell out crowd. The North team won 27-0.
If you get the chance, do what I did and stop by Wintzell’s Oyster House after the game for the best oyster loaf anywhere.
