possible snow :)



Always exciting. Probably won't happen, but here's hoping! At least it'll be warm enough for a fire.

Also, found this comment and really liked it:

"When we heard of the Auburn fans chanting at the end of Fridays game "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger" we knew there was something special about the excitement around this football team. The Tigers have everything we are looking for in a New Year's Day team. They are a tough, exciting team, extremely well coached and... have what might be the best fans in college football." -Jim McVay, Outback Bowl President/CEO

Thank you for some credit, and I'm very glad to be part of a fan base that really supports their team.

I know I never posted about the Iron Bowl. I feel like my feelings are similar to most Auburn fans out there. I'll just sum it up:

-I am truly proud to be an Auburn fan. I see really good things in store for our team in the future. We never gave up, and for the most part, I thought the coaching was awesome.
-That game was phenomenal. Some of my favorite football memories in my time at Auburn were made during that game.
-If ever there was a moral victory, it was this year's Iron Bowl. I don't think I would've been more proud of Auburn had we won.
-Also, this may seem a little strange, but I'm glad, in a sad way, that the Bama defender batted the ball away on the last play of the game. I only say this because think of how even more heart wrenching it would have been if one of our guys had dropped the ball, or it slipped out of his hands, or something. At least there wasn't a chance for that. Sorry, I know it was still so, so sad.
-Nick Saban's attitude drives me crazy. His ego is pretty ridiculous. I hope that Florida shows up and plays their best game all season this Saturday!
-And, I really do believe in Auburn, and love it.

Well put, Rachel! That's what separates us from them, I think. We believe in Auburn and love it. They believe in a coach. We believe in a family. I'm so glad I got to sit with you guys for that game! Such a memorable one!
