Today, I was NOT out shopping on Black Friday. Instead, Harrison and I were sitting at Pack's Tavern in Asheville with part of The Auburn Family, nervously watching the Iron Bowl. Going into the game, Auburn was ranked #2, undefeated, with two more wins needed to secure a spot in the National Championship. However, we were up against last year's National Champs.
The first half was dreadful. It seemed that our players might've eaten too much turkey the day before. About 5 minutes before half-time, the score was 24-0, Bama. Harrison and I were trying to decide if we wanted to cash out and watch the rest at home on 'mute.' However, we decided to stay, knowing that Auburn has been a 'second-half team' over the past year. We also recalled last year's Iron Bowl, where Auburn was winning the entire game, but Bama scored in the last few minutes to defeat us by a tight margin.
Rather than acting like 'fair-weather fans' we decided to keep our spirits up and stay for the remainder. I sure am glad that we did! We held Alabama to 3 points for the rest of the game and CAME BACK by 28 points to win the game 28-27! Sadly, I know from last year how those Bammer fans are feeling today. Next week we play South Carolina in the SEC Championship. One more victory will land us in the National Championship! We're crossing our fingers all week long.
Auburn fans, get pumped up:
