Auburn 24 Lsu 17

What a game!  Allan and I sat on the 2nd row in the upper deck on the 25 yard line.  Except for the sun in our faces all afternoon, our seats were perfect--thank you College of Engineering!  We arrived about half an hour early because I love the pregame at Jordan Hare Stadium.  The band played "God Bless America" bringing a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes and then moved on to "The Star Spangled Banner."  The eagle took off from just above and to the right of us so we had a great view of him soaring while the crowd yelled Waaar Eagle, Hey!  An F18 flyover event was loud.  The team came into the stadium through a tunnel of cheerleaders and band members with artificial smoke leading the way followed closely by the coaches and Cam Newton.  Cam leads the players by at least 5 yards, running, leaping and waving his arms.  And, we cheered and hi-fived and sang, "War Eagle" and "Glory, Glory to Old Auburn" and "All we do is win, win,win!" for four hours.  The game was exciting; Cam broke Auburn and SEC records; and we won.  The final chant of the game, " It's great to be an Auburn Tiger!" is my favorite and the last song played through the system was "It's gonna be a good night; it's gonna be a good good night" and it was.  Toomer's Corner looked like it did when it snowed in February--covered in toilet paper.

My favorite "event" of game day was at 12:00 Noon when the bells from Samford Hall played War Eagle.  It is great to be an Auburn Tiger.
