Jim Ellison manages the Hickory Pit Stop on North Main Street in Evansville. His barbecue shack is renowned for its Alabama Room. Ellison says he's just continuing a tradition his father started decades ago.
"I was born an Alabama fan, I grew up an Alabama fan," Ellison says. "It gets you motivated. It gets you fired up."
The walls are covered in Tide memorabilia. Pictures, posters and license plates leave no doubt about what team they'll be pulling for come January 7th. There's even a signed picture from Bear Bryant which reads 'To Jimmy Ellison, Kindest personal regards, Paul "Bear"Bryant.'
Ellison says they are planning a watch party for the BCS Title Game. He expects former Tide great Steve Doran to be in attendance.
