Here in Alabama, we’re family oriented and take traditions very seriously. Many Alabamians do the same traditions. However, there are a few that would rather stray away and do their own thing—and that’s perfectly fine. Let’s take a look at 13 traditions that are familiar to most Alabamians.
1. The Iron Bowl
Roll Tide or War Eagle? You MUST pick a side.
