BCS Beach Bash in Gulf Shores

The serenity of waves lapping onto the beach in Gulf Shores is giving way to a football frenzy.

"All the way Crimson Tide!" says Kay McCraney making sure she has a prime seat at The Hangout the host of the BCS Beach Bash.

"It's going to be the biggest party on the beach." Hangout spokesperson Tara McMeans says the first 400 get free food. There are 20 television screens to watch the game and mixing LSU fans and Tide fans for the biggest game of the season isn't expected to be a problem. "We're hoping everybody can get along for the most part. We want to have team spirit."

Speaking of team spirit, Tonie Horton may have enough for both schools. "I am from Alabama. I love Auburn. I love Alabama but my kids were born in Louisiana."

Dressed in a mix and match of LSU and Bama gear what may appear to be a little confusing to us is perfectly clear to her. "I want a good clean game. I would love to see it go into overtime and for Alabama to pull it off."

So if you can't be in New Orleans, Gulf Shores might be the next best place. "I feel like we're going to win and I want to be around a lot of people that are a lot of fun."
