Game Day
War Eagle! A nail-biting game, but Auburn prevailed in the end and as Brandon says, "A win's a win!" Game Day in Auburn is such a wonderful experience--the campus is transformed from about 30,000 students and faculty in pursuit of education to close to 100,000 fans in pursuit of victory. Students, faculty, alumni, parents and future Auburn Tigers intermingle under canopies and party tents furnished with bar-b-que grills and ice chests, portable satellite dishes and flat screen TVs, foldable pic-nic tables and camping chairs--all you need on a beautiful almost fall day in Auburn. On a walk up Magnolia Street past Toomer's Corner I heard "War Eagle" hollered by someone every few minutes. It is an atmosphere charged with joy and excitement and one more thing to love about Auburn.

That sounds a lot like Penn State, although they estimate its around 150,000 fans that show up (the stadium only holds 110,000) and we hear "We Are Penn State" instead of "War Eagle". I enjoy that I get the big football school experience now since Harvey Mudd didn't so much have it.
