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!”TheBisch

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.
