National Champions!

War Eagle Baby!

Jesse and I have really enjoyed watching our alma mater do so well this year! It was so much fun to see them win the national championship. Auburn really is a special place. It's a large college, but it really has a family feel. Both of us cherish the time we spent there.

Traditionally, TJ wears a game day shirt on game day, but the game was late enough that he was already in bed. Luckily, little Sean isn't on a schedule yet so he carried on the tradition.

Great News for Auburn

Yesterday, the NCAA ruled Cam Newton is eligible to compete. This is great news for Auburn. It has been a great season (12-0!). We have the SEC championship this weekend and hopefully (if we win), a national championship after that! War Eagle!

SEC West Champs and Cam Controversy

Auburn beat Georgia 49-31!!! It was a good game. It looked like all the media distractions had gotten to them in the beginning, but they pulled it together in the second half. This win puts Auburn in the SEC championship game! We still have to play Alabama before that.

I love watching Auburn football. Period. But, this year has been especially exciting to watch our offense. Cam Newton is a very talented player. There has been so much trash talking surrounding him this past week. I hate to see the university I love under attack. I get incredibly frustrated with the media because there hasn't been any proof yet. It's all, "allegedly, allegedly... from an unnamed source." The allegations may turn out true, but the media is always out to blow things out of proportion for a good story. Drama sells so when there isn't much going on, stir things up. It doesn't matter who they slander in the meantime. I hate to see anyone's name dragged through the mud before they are actually proven guilty. The last time Auburn went undefeated was in 2004 and they were left out of the title game. Coming through the SEC schedule is incredibly tough, so yes, I am biased to an SEC team that comes out undefeated in our conference. Teams like Oregon or Boise State rarely play ranked opponents. Auburn faces ranked opponents almost every week. I am excited to see our team play in the SEC championship. I would hope that all the media drama would stop condemning a man that the NCAA has not proven guilty yet, but I am not going to hold my breath. In the meanwhile, I am giving Cam Newton and Auburn the benefit of the doubt. War Eagle!

Today we took Trent to Auburn for his first tailgating experience. It was so much fun to walk around the campus, spend time with friends and take in the Auburn game day atmosphere. Both Jesse and I love the time we spent at Auburn and are looking forward to sharing our Auburn pride with our children. It was such a great day and Auburn pulled off a 24-17 win over LSU! War Eagle! Below is a clip of one of my favorite plays of the game. Auburn has a great quarterback this year named Cam Newton. He's an excellent athlete and a lot of fun to watch.

Game Day

Football Season 2009 has officially started!

Auburn had an exciting start to 2009. They beat Lousiana Tech 37-13. The best part of the game was a Chris Todd pass to Terrell Zachery for a 93 yard touchdown pass. It was the longest play in Auburn history. There's a new freshman on the team who played well. His name is Onterio McCalleb and he rushed for 148 yards in his first game. He's the first freshman to rush for over 100 yards in an opener since Bo Jackson played on the plains. The team still has some kinks to work out, but we're looking forward to the season. War Eagle!
