Dorians sink the Armada in the Black Warrior

TITLETOWN - During the mid 1980s, Harry's Bar in Tuscaloosa was the best bar in all of America. Located on the wrong side of the tracks on the city's southside, Harry's was not your traditional college bar, in fact it was rather non-traditional and countercultural for the times. Owned by former Bama basketball player Harry Hammonds, the bar was in an old service station and you could tell. The walls were lined with city limits signs from municipalities all over Alabama including the city of Gardendale's trademarked "Nice People Live Here" road sign which was signed by any and everybody from God's Country that ever darkened the door. The bar originally featured a basketball goal and later billiard tables for recreation. The barkeeps served cold beer, hard whiskey, krazy buckets and wiggle worms. My favorite part of the place was the old-fashioned jukebox that required no money, but still played all the country classics that the patrons loved to sing along to during the late nights and into the wee morning hours. On Alabama football home game weekends, you had to know somebody at the door just to get in the place. Like most bars, Harry's had its regulars, i.e., Harry, Scott Allen, Robert Tesney, Mukes, anybody else in town who ever went to GHS (I once saw Ricky Love in there) and those who benefited socially from hanging out with the Gardendale crowd. Harry's Bar was a precursor to the BDFL since most members logged some significant time in this joint. The BDFL wouldn't officially start until about 10 years later, but the foundation of the league was firmly laid at Harry's Bar. In Week 11 of the BDFL, two of Harry's stalwarts squared off in an inter-divisional, neutral site match-up at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Dorians struggled early to slow down the creeping Armadillos and the game was tied 10-10 at the half, but the Altadenians rallied in the second half to sink the Texas Armada in an embarrassing blowout, 48-25.
