Plenty of people in Mobile are buying drinks and snacks preparing to watch the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn Saturday.
Other people are going to dine out or have food catered.
Cooks at the Banana Docks Cafe were busy Friday, not only preparing food to serve at the restaurant Saturday, but also to cater.
Chris Railey said, "We've got racks of ribs going out tomorrow, we've got gumbo by the gallon going out tomorrow, (and we'll be) going over to folks' houses and set up."
And Alabama and Auburn fans were stocking up on last minute gear at the "Bama Fever, Tiger Pride" store in Spanish Fort.
You can find some unusual gifts here.
For instance, there is a stainless steel Alabama barbecue tool set.
And not to be outdone, for Auburn fans, how about your very own Auburn steering wheel cover?
Rick Hamilton is an Alabama fan, but his son, Zack, is an Auburn fan.
When asked what it's like watching the Iron Bowl with his family, Zack Hamilton said, "Great, especially since we've won the last six years. It makes it a lot better."
Alabama Fan Tee Brown said, "I'm looking for a purse. I'm an alumnus from Alabama."
Auburn Fan Brittany Canaan was looking for an Auburn T-shirt and said, "I've got a good feeling about tomorrow."
But Auburn fan Rick Lassitter said, "I know it's coming anyway, so I hope we give them a hell of game, but I know we're going to lose."
Two year old Jordan Brown only had one comment: "Roll Tide."
The game kicks off at 2:30 Saturday afternoon on WKRG.
