Any advice for my cousin? She’s in a tough situation with her son
He’s turning 8 and is obsessed with the Crimson Tide. She’s had him checked for being on the spectrum since he can tell you about not just current players and staff members but many of the past ones as well. For example, we were at Cracker Barrel a few nights ago and when the waitress asked if we wanted biscuits the little fella started rattling off Cornelius Bennett’s stats.
Saban’s retirement and the ensuing portal/NIL chaos has ruined everything she had planned for his Bama-themed party and she wants my help in fixing it so that none of the kids coming over who are opposing fans can make fun of him for having an outdated party.
We’ve got cardboard cut outs of Saban that are useless. Tommy Rees’s Reese’s Candy Station, T-Rob’s Tshirt Tye Dye Station, and Bala’s Bouncehouse themed areas are all going to have to be reworked to somehow account for the new staff.
Gifts like a signed Caleb Downs photo, Famous “Trey” Amos Bama T-shirt with the Famous Amos cookies on it, “Just Sayin, Bama’s Back” Smack Talk Hoodie are all going to have to be replaced, not to mention the non-refundable money wasted on getting permission to take him to Jordan Hare to recreate 4th and 31 where he was going to get to play as Bond. We hired someone to airbrush the Daniel Moore print we got of it but now it just looks like an abstract Picasso painting on that side. (If you know any art collector friends who would be interested I can send pics)
Any ideas on what we can do for new birthday party stations and replacement gifts would be greatly appreciated since we have to turn this all around in 48 hours.
