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.

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!

Ready for Game Day

Front

Back - Look at the adorable little pockets!

Last night I finished Trent's game day pants. The pictures don't do them justice, but I just had to share anyways. They are SO cute. He's going to look absolutely adorable with his plaid pants and Orange and Blue Shaker. We're working on teaching him how to say "War Eagle!" For those of you dying to know when the game is... Auburn plays Clemson this weekend at Auburn. College Game Day will be there. Kick off is at 6pm on ESPN. And lastly, here's a funny commentary for my fellow Auburn fans. Have a great weekend!

Saturday Happenings

Saturday was a busy day. It continued to be a typical Saturday weather wise where it rained on and off all day. However, the guys still managed to make some progress! We have pavers down!!! It looks so much better than our framed mud pit. :) There's still some cleanup, finishing touches, and landscaping to do, but it's moving along.

Porch Progress

Saturday was also another first for Trent. He used (and was able to hold) his own sippy cup! Once he realized there was drink inside, he was all about it!

And lastly, Auburn was dealt their first loss of the season this weekend to the University of Arkansas. They seem to have our number every year and this year they really outplayed us. We listened to it on the radio (while the porch was being worked on) and it was not a pretty game. Auburn had penalties, turnovers, and gave up a few big plays. Final Score: Arkansas 44 Auburn 23. Next week is Kentucky at home. So come on AU, stand up, wipe off your jersey and get ready for next week!

What? We Lost? I'm wearing my game day shirt!

Weekend Update

Another Auburn game day - Great game! Auburn beat Mississippi State 49-24. That's the most points Auburn has scored in an SEC matchup since 2005 so it was exciting to see some offense. It was also refreshing after Auburn's 3-2 win over Mississippi State last year.

In other weekend updates, Jesse has posted some more video of Trent on our youtube account.
