The next day, we woke up and hurried out the door to get into a cab and book it down to the French Quarter for some famous beignets. It was a beautiful 80 degree day, and. all around us were Ohio State fans who were just as excited for the College Football Playoff game as I was. It wasn’t everyday thing you got to see Alabama play OSU. The line for the beignets was extremely long but well worth the time.
