Auburn
28 - Alabama 23
|
|
 It's Auburn-Alabama day. The madness begins. |
 Set up for tailgating. Now where is everybody? |
 An Auburn family in the shadows of Jordan-Hare! |
 Crowd gathers for a huge Tiger Walk. |
 A plane flew overhead with a banner that read "It's rolling, baby!" |
 The players make their way through. |
 We were on a hill. Patti's not that tall. Robbie's not that short. |
 The sun sets on Jordan-Hare. |
 An orange and blue sunset. Good omen for the good guys! |
 Niece and nephew. |
 The Bayside Gang. |
 Settled into our seats for the battle ahead. |
 As a pre-1989 AU grad, it's still a shock to my senses to see THOSE people on our campus and in our stadium. But I'm glad they're there! |
 The Tigers take the field. |
 Don't be afraid, Bammer, come on out to play. |
 Coin toss, with Auburn honorary Captain, Bo Jackson. Go, Bo, Go!!! |
 Kickoff. Around the bowl and down the hole, roll tide, roll! |
 15 seconds, 1 play and 80 Cadillac yards later, Auburn's ahead to stay. |
 OK, the 3rd quarter got a little tense. This is mostly how I watched that quarter, walking the concourse, peering in to check on things. |
 The student section gets a little wild late in the game. |
 Finally, Jason takes a knee, as the clock ticks down. |
 Look at those stats! Why was the score even that close? |
 Let the celebration begin! |
 A family of happy Tigers! |
|
Toomer's
Corner, here we come!
|
 The party had started without us. |
 |
 Look! I'm rolling Toomer's! |
 College students at heart. |
 Real college students. |
 |
 |
 She's a freshman at Georgia, but gets into a little Auburn tradition. |
 |
 |
 Samford Hall watches happily over the celebration. |

******************************************** The party ended, we sent the real college students off into the wild Auburn night, and Patti and I headed to the hunting camp near Tuskegee. The next day: |
 Now how did that get there? |
 The hunting camp. Otherwise known as Tumpsie's Bed and Breakfast. Room service was a little lacking, but the accommodations couldn't be beat otherwise. |
 I could get used to this life. All I need's an internet connection! |
 In from hunting (nothing was killed! Yea!), Joel and Tumpsie worked on breakfast. |
 My first plate-full. |
 Me and Tumpsie |
