The funny thing about the 13-hour road trip from Columbus to New Orleans is that your route takes you through Tuscaloosa, Ala., home of Ohio State's opponent in Thursday night's Sugar Bowl.

There isn't a whole lot to do in Tuscaloosa, but there are two statues that make for great photos opps if you happen to have an extra foam finger for Nick Saban or want to create a killer O–H–I–O pose with Bear Bryant.
