Alabama vs. the Yellow Jackets

Nathan has largely moved to “real” Lego bricks, but he still dabbles in the Duplo from time to time. This is his football field, complete with goalposts and players. Alabama is playing “the Yellow Jackets.” (Charles pulls for Georgia Tech.) I don’t know who has the ball, but it looks like Tech has punched a pretty good hole either way:

Nathan told me the tallish red and blue bit by his arm is the “giant Pepsi can where the guy throws the football in the hole when the teams aren’t playing.”

(I think it was a Dr Pepper can this year; even still, let us marvel and shudder at the power of marketing.)
