Big Red bottles from texarkana - 6/2/2008 10:22:15 PM    GeorgiaVol   Posts: 150 Joined: 5/3/2008 Status: offline Does any one know if there were ever any Big Red bottles made either ACL or others?  I remember drinking them as a kid growing up, but do not remember if it was in bottles or not.  I grew up in Texarkana, so they may be from around that area. Thanks Matt < Message edited by GeorgiaVol -- 6/2/2008 10:27:24 PM > Post #: 1

By the way how did a boy from Texarkana turn into a Georgia Vol?????  That orange in your blood is supposed to be BURNT orange. < Message edited by TX Big Chief -- 6/3/2008 8:02:01 PM > _____________________________ Sometimes you're the windshield;sometimes you're the bug.

RE: Big Red bottles from texarkana - 6/3/2008 9:35:51 PM    GeorgiaVol   Posts: 150 Joined: 5/3/2008 Status: offline ROFL!!!  Its a loooong story!  Basicly I was born in Texas, moved to South Dakota, then Alabama, then Texarkana (where I spent most of my childhood), then I moved to TENNESSEE!! (GO VOLS!!!) Thats where I got interested in college football.  I then lived in Alabama again, then in Lexington, back to Bama, then LA (Lower Alabama) Now I live in Georgia! Whew! I guess you can say I moved arround a bit, luckily I mostly stayed in these SE States because I LOOOOOOOVE ice cold sweet tea, and you know you can't get that above the Mason-Dixon!
