The restaurant where the characters in Bluebell hang out is called "Rammer Jammer." This is a reference to the cheer Alabama fans shout at University of Alabama football games when Alabama has just won or is clearly about to win. The cheer goes: "Hey, (opposing team)! Hey, (opposing team)! Hey, (opposing team)! We just beat the hell out of you! Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer Give 'em hell, Alabama!" The term "Rammer-Jammer" comes from the title of a 1920s student newspaper, while Yellowhammer is Alabama's state bird. The filming location is the same as Merlotte's restaurant/bar in the HBO series True Blood (2008). In fact, there is a restaurant called "Rama Jama's" across from the University of Alabama football stadium in Tuscaloosa.
