HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - It's a great start to the new year if you're a college football fan.

Crowds piled in to Baumhower's in Huntsville on Thursday to watch the big games like the Outback Bowl with Auburn and Wisconsin and the Sugar Bowl with Alabama and Ohio.

Crowds were ready to see the first ever college football playoff games.

People were getting lunch and watching the games, and the general manager said a lot of prep goes into these extra busy days. He said they make hundreds of chicken wings and have take out orders pouring in. Despite all the work, he says it's worth it.

"It's very upbeat," Interim General Manager Xavier Crawley said. "Very upbeat, very loud. But it's a very fun environment for the employees and guests also. It's a really exciting time for the company and our store."
