I personally did not enjoy them enough while they were here. Two of the most interesting, entertaining cats to ever wear the O&B.

His name came up A BUNCH on the old Pat Dye Shows.

Toddc, thx for posting such a fantastic article!

 

For me, among many gems the line that really stands out is this one:

"When you talk about the epitome of what the college football experience is all about … that’s it. Auburn is the epitome."

 

As a grad of IU-Bloomington, attending at a time when Indiana was actually a bowl team on a yearly basis (see IU-Auburn Peach Bowl era) I had the opportunity to watch some pretty competitive football in my time there.  But the atmosphere was never, and I mean NEVER a true CFB atmosphere.  Basketball in Bloomington is INSANE, but football is never received with the same passion and fanaticism.  Thankfully a good friend of mine attended Auburn  (and my future wife also had a close friend attending Auburn at the same time) so I was exposed very early to what a real CFB atmosphere is supposed to be like. There simply is nothing like game day @ Auburn. NOTHING.

 

It's why, to this day, we make it a point to get down to The Plains at least once per year.

 

It's why, to this day, that I truly believe that Auburn fans are among the greatest in the country.  Without fail, if I'm wearing an Auburn shirt around town (Indianapolis metro area) I will receive at least one "War Eagle" ... what other fan base does that??  We have proudly raised our kids to be Auburn fans as well as IU fans, and I'm excited to say that my HS senior daughter will be taking an "official" campus tour when we come down for the A&M game in November.

 

Cannot wait for the greatest part of the year to start on Saturday!

Can't think Junior Rosegreen without this hit. I thought he killed him.  Textbook targeting nowadays.

That was before the targeting rules were implemented.  I was in J-H Stadium that evening.  It sure got quiet in there when Reggie Brown didn't get up.  Then the crowd started chanting, "Reggie, Reggie,..."  It was pretty scary.

I was there, too. I remember being scared that he was permanently down.
