Ugh. Despite my confidence in my team, never would I have thought we’d lose the first game of the season… to Georgia TECH of all teams. It makes me sick. Since when did Georgia Tech begin offering Underwater Basket Weaving as a major so that they could have real football players?
Auburn showed sparks of life, occasionally. but they never put anything together for an extended length of time to keep the scoring drive alive. Hell, the new QB isn’t much of a prize either, throwing four interceptions. And then of course, the ACC refs obviously had their hand in Tech’s pocket… how else could they blow so many calls (late hits, pass interference, etc)?
It’s going to be a looong season, Auburn fans, if this keeps up.
While I was there, I snapped a couple of pics with my cell phone… want to see what $1000 a season buys you? Two tickets with a view like this….
But the best part is, we usually get to be near the kids (I’m not sure if they’re overflow Freshmen from the Student section, or if they’re local area high school kids)… anyway, they’re sometimes annoying, they rarely watch the game, and for this game, I took a friend of mine and my dad. My dad made a new friend. We’ll call her Drunk Girl.. because we didn’t get her name… and well, she was quite drunk. I could smell the alcohol, and I was about five feet away from her. Drunk Girl kept asking my dad important questions like “Are they going to score a touchdown?” and when Tech was finally flagged for a penalty, she wondered “Is that good for us?”. Best of all, she kept up our hopes that Auburn might win, reminding us “But, they won all the games last year!”
Meanwhile, she had two drunk boys (not us) hanging all over her too… but I think she wasn’t too impressed, since they kept teasing her. I’ll admit, she was kind of stupid, but I’m not sure if that was reality, or just the alcohol talking. Anyway… I snapped a picture of Drunk Girl too..
I wonder if her parents will see this. 
Next week Auburn plays Pississippi State. Hopefully, the Tigers learn how to play football before then.

I’m so disappointed.
Next week, my loyalties will be somewhat divided, considering that MS State is technically our sister school, so technically I should be rooting for them– you know, school loyalty and all that crap.
However, we all know better.
I’m with you– let’s hope they learn to play football sometime in the next five days.

My dear hubby yelled at the screen the whole game.

Your loyalty should never be divided… once an Auburn Tiger, always an Auburn Tiger…. Piss State should never come into the equation!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. All I can say is this was my perfect weekend. The UGA Bulldawgs won and Auburn DontKnowTheirOwnMascots lost!! I love football.

We do know our mascots… ignorant UGA graduates who can’t even spell Bulldog just can’t remember it.
Nickname Explanation
Auburn’s nickname is the TIGERS.
Auburn’s battle cry is “WAR EAGLE!“

Touchy much???
Just because I hate Auburn doesn’t mean we can’t be friends! If the only person to ever dump you went to Auburn and you went to UGA, maybe you’d be bitter too.

Actually, what set that little outburst off was the tired “Auburn doesn’t know what it’s mascot is” comment. UGA people have been rehashing that for years… at least all the other SEC schools fans have learned the difference. Even ‘Bama fans… and they’re some of the dumbest.
I hate all UGA fans because of the ignorance of a few.
If I hated all the schools of girls who dumped me, I don’t think there’d be a school around I like.

Yeah, at least Alabama fans know their mascot.
After all, they are the Crimson Tide and their mascot is an…uh…elephant.
And they holler ROLL TAHD, which apparently means “Go Elephants.”
I wonder why they named their team after a biological event that contaminates seafood? Perhaps when all teams have to get PC nicknames, there might be another one like the Tahd. Maybe the Florida State Influenza?

Or, my fave…
Crimson Tide is a name for a girl’s monthly flow.

Enerd - Well, Tuscaloosa is awfully close to Mississippi, and you and I both know they don’t speak English in Mississippi… maybe “Roll Tide” *is* Misssissippian for “Go Elephants!”
Heather - That would explain a lot about Bama fans.

You might be on to something…
I’ve always thought Bama fans were a bunch of douches. At least I was close.
