As I posted earlier that event actually happened on November 7th, 1896 but the Wreck Tech pajama parade in Auburn went on every year until we quit playing Tech on a regular yearly basis.

madkat7 233 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Tennessee vs. Auburn 1990. Marched in with my Sousaphone in hand and was blown away so much I missed my mark. The assistant band director chewed me a new one. Game ended in a #$*_!@*%_! tie at 26 a piece. Tennessee would break the tie a year later in Neyland.

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 1997 AU vs La Tech I grew up a Bama fan for the first 14-15 years of my life and saw a ton of games at Legion/BDS growing up, including Peyton Manning's coming out party against Bama in '94. Didn't make the full conversion to AU until 2000. I've now easily been to over 100 games with at least 20-25 being away from JHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit was my first time attending game in Atlanta.....loved the way the buildings set up a nice back drop at the stadium....and the Rambling Wreck looked pretty cool as the team takes the field.

I was there for that one. It was on a Thursday night and not even a sellout. That’s also the game in which Rashard Gilyard completely knocked the helmet off the receiver from Wyoming. And...if memory serves me correctly this was also the night they began the tradition of flying the eagle before kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an awesome story! Mine is actually pretty fun. My whole family (dad, grandpa, grandma, uncles) were Bama fans, so I grew up that way. My parents got divorced when I was five and my dad moved away, so I stayed a Bama fan mostly because that's all I knew. A friend of mine's family had season tickets and often took me to games for free at Legion or BDS. I hated Auburn (I promise, I've atoned for this). When I was a teenager, my mom started dating my soon to be step-dad, who is an AU grad. He got free tickets to games often and invited us along. I'm also a huge Denver Broncos fan, so I started going to AU games by wearing my Broncos jersey so that I didn't insult him and the teams had the same colors. This happened in 98 & 99. But what really turned me was basketball. I LOVED going to Beard-Eaves for games and went to nearly every home game during the great '99-2000 season. The cool thing was that my step-dad never pressured me. He let my conversion happen naturally and taught me about the school/traditions as we went along. The nail in the coffin was in 2000 when I was looking at where to go to school. I knew that I was more advanced than most high school kids in my field (I already had two years of professional experience by age 17), so I wanted to go somewhere that I could jump right in to student media. I couldn't afford to go out-of-state, so I had three choices: Troy, Alabama, or Auburn. My Troy visit went fine, but the campus was just too small for my liking. On my visit to Alabama, the department head said that I couldn't touch equipment for two years. I told her "you'll regret that" and then went to Auburn for a visit. They told me I could do as much as I wanted to right away, so I was in. Two years later, I won an Associated Press award for student reporting and found that UA department head at the ceremony just to remind her of the mistake she made. My AU visit happened to be about a week before the 2000 UGA game (we won 29-26 in OT). My step-dad took me on the visit and I told him that day after our tours and meetings I was coming to Auburn. He broke out the biggest smile I've ever seen, took me to Tiger Rags and said "Get anything you want". I picked out a nice polo and wore it to the tailgate/game the next week. At the tailgate, his college buddy gave me crap for wearing an Auburn shirt and that's when I said "It's rude to say that to a future fellow alum". He dropped his beer and bear hugged me. The rest is history. I now hold two degrees from AU and refuse to wear red, with the exception of one Colorado Avalanche shirt that I own because they are my favorite hockey team. Been to both national title games, far too many road games to count (football, basketball, and baseball), was the local Alumni Club President for a few years, have taught at AU, etc. I love the place more than just about anything in my life.
