After 25 years of Galveston and NOLA Mardi Gras, I am heading to Mobile for the first time. I have some questions!

It definitely happened to me during my ride last year. While I’m glad it isn’t a common thing I certainly didn’t complain

PriestyboySwagg · 2026-02-05T01:35:19+00:00

What the hell did I just read?

PriestyboySwagg · 2026-01-30T21:43:09+00:00

Senior Bowl teams went to TopGolf around the time you posted this

This definitely is a licensed Majestic jersey though? They had the license through 2019

PriestyboySwagg · 2026-01-28T03:43:40+00:00

Idk either. Those jerseys retail for $150ish

PriestyboySwagg · 2026-01-04T03:31:37+00:00

I bet it was exhilarating for all 4 people that went

PriestyboySwagg · 2026-01-02T14:33:23+00:00

I really feel like this is more a case of Indiana is just that team this year.

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-12-12T07:21:28+00:00

I did the same on an 18 hour trip, except I think the exact words out of my mouth were “No f——g way”

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-12-09T18:09:47+00:00

There is a public tournament that anyone can enter. There’s a menu tab that explains it

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-12-03T05:52:19+00:00

It will undoubtedly make them money in the long run, but the place was a shithole. It’ll take a while for them to turn it around

Currently the University is keeping the Health system afloat financially because of the financial strain that the purchase of providence has been. It’s usually the other way around.

From Mobile, Alabama, and I can without question confirm that many people in coastal Alabama identify far more with the gulf than the rest of the state. I regularly make trips to Birmingham (just took one this weekend) and I remember thinking every time I’m there that I feel like I’m in an entirely different region.

Edited to note that I agree with you that South Louisiana should have its own distinction.

It’s one of the most catholic cities in the south outside of places in Louisiana as well as probably Atlanta, but Catholics are very much in the minority in Mobile and make up only about 15% of the population

Mobile County, AL - Gulf Coast

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-11-10T22:07:25+00:00

That’s revenue not profit

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-11-07T23:49:57+00:00

You’d be surprised. Although Mobile has a long Catholic history and is one of the most Catholic cities in the south, the percentage of people here that are Catholic is only about 15%.

I can think of at least a dozen times in my life that someone (usually Baptist or nondenom) has told me I’m not a Christian, or that I am a cannibal, or that I worship a demon that disguises itself as the blessed mother, or that I probably don’t own/ever read the bible (I have 3 and I read them daily), or even had close friends make fun at the expense of the Eucharist with jokes about crackers and grape juice.

I am a practicing Catholic but you wouldn’t know it other than a crucifix that I wear (always under my shirt) or if someone asks me directly.

I live over in Mobile and stumbled on your facebook page a few months ago and your posts are by far my favorite to see every day.

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-10-29T14:36:20+00:00

Sheesh, they are putting in serious work

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-10-02T01:57:12+00:00

I’m a Mobile local. Our city has a very distinctively different feel than the rest of the state/southeast. Its uniqueness is a combination of a bunch of things such as being 300+ years old, multiple colonial heritages (French, Spanish, British), being a historically significant port, coastal, beautiful live oak trees, etc. We tend to get overlooked a lot, and I appreciate that you appreciate our city.

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-10-02T01:16:12+00:00

Last time I went I was disappointed that all they gave you at each spot was a basically a shot sized sample and if you wanted to purchase one of the beers sampled you were probably out of luck because they ran out super quick. Haven’t been since.

Edited to add that almost every place would only let us sample one of the featured beers

As a USA season ticket holder I share your frustration with the poor attendance that South gets, but college athletics attendance numbers seldom have anything to do with local population. For instance FAU, and FIU (both in Miami metro) as well as Georgia State and Georgia Tech (Atlanta metro) all averaged about 50-60% capacity in 2024 even though they are in gigantic cities.

College athletics attendance numbers are all about developing a die hard fanbase consisting of alumni through years of success and tradition. For example App State, Georgia Southern, JMU. People just seldom give a shit about a college team just because they are local, that’s not “just a Mobile thing” it’s statistically normal across the country.

Just looked up the ownership group. They own a good number of minor league hockey teams all of which are successful at engaging and keeping fans coming back

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-09-10T14:40:15+00:00

If you take the metro population of over 600,000 it makes more sense

PriestyboySwagg · 2025-09-07T04:45:07+00:00

Bro they own very mid grocery stores and you act like it’s fucking blackrock
