War Eagle!

Last weekend we headed to Auburn for our first game of the season. We went with our friend Carl and his kids Hannah and Charlie. It was their first Auburn game and they had a blast.We didn't take Bryson to this game because it didn't start until 6 and we thought that would have been too late for him to enjoy the whole game. Hopefully we will be able to make it down for an earlier game with him before the season is over. We played Florida Atlantic and even though we won, it was an ugly game. We were on the 10 yard line, row 11 so the seats were amazing. I just wish we could have seen our Tigers play a better game. It's hard to come off such an amazing year with experienced players to a year full of new, young players; but hopefully after this season our Tigers will be back. The first stop we made was to Toomer's Corner to check out the trees, and oh man were they sad. I still can't believe somebody could be so stupid and cruel enough to poison those trees. I know it's a rivalry but that went way too far. After checking out the trees, we went and bought Bryson a new jersey and hat for the season. The game was fun and we had a little bit of entertainment going on in the stands. There was a family of 3 sitting in front of us; a dad, mom and older daughter. I'm not sure if they were just lazy or had never been to a game before but we never saw them cheer or even stand up the entire game. At one point the family in front of them got really excited about a great play and stood up (along with everybody else) cheering for our players. The family that sat down made a comment to the other family that they couldn't see what happened because they were standing up. Of course some words were exchanged and the weird family went and got security. It was quite funny. The funny thing was, the security guard worked for the family sitting beside us so the dad was able to stop him. Why in the world would people like that go see an Auburn game. The drama came at a good time during the game because honestly, it got a little boring; but in the end we won, and were able to make a fun trip to Toomer's Corner to celebrate. Here's some pictures from our fun game day.
