I remember a sophomore Ivan Charles (Tucker) Fredrickson played safety and full back. He muffed a punt deep in Auburn territory and Georgia got a score out of it. Georgia burned Auburn for a long td pass and it was all over. I was fit to be tied. So cool. Is it surreal to watch a game now and realize you’re watching the same team/game from 60 years ago? What was the experience like then vs. now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Great idea, OP! My first game was in 89. (Pacific, and then the historic Iron Bowl later that year) We had season tickets from 91-95. I’m sure I missed a game or two those years, but I attended pretty much every game those 5 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,828 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think we should start from the present going backward to come up with the board streak. I was personally at the Bham Bowl for our latest game, and also went to Penn State. Need to fill in the rest from 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubcali 433 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 My dad went to the home games his freshman year in ‘54. Says his first AU/Bama game was in ‘55. He’s not a member, but we could sign him up to get the record. 🤪 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have swore @augolf1716 or someone said they saw the 57 team. I'm think it was @Slammer1 or maybe AUpops who may have seen the 57 team.

AUBwins 10,074 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) My first Auburn game was Akron in 1988 won 42-0. First memory in a game was Vanderbilt game 1990 we won like 56-6. Vandy fumbled the opening kickoff I believe and we scored soon after. Edited February 28, 2022 by AUBwins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something occurred to me recently about our board. We have a lot of old wisemen/farts on this board (no offense @augolf1716). Lot of API guys saw games in person way back. I think I saw that some even attended games during the 1957 title run. It made me wonder two things. The first is: what game is the farthest back anyone on our board can claim to have seen in person? The second, and maybe most interesting thing to me, is I wonder how long of an attendance streak the board has as a whole. I’m betting we can verify at least one poster on our board to have attended every single football game Auburn has played for the last 50 years. Maybe more. Maybe we could start with figuring out the oldest game and work up from there. Wish I could start us off but my first games were as a kid in the 90s. If you got proof you were at the game that’s a bonus but not required. Would be cool to see stuff from way back. CURRENT OLDEST GAME VERIFIED (update 2/27): Auburn vs. Kentucky, Legion Field, 1958 (augolf1716). VERIFIED BOARD ATTENDANCE STREAK (update 2/26): __ games. Currently Seeking Member Attendance Verification for: 2021 Season. if golf did that it is very impressive. rumor is he is one of birds alters................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably don't get as upset now when Auburn doesn't do as well as I did for a long time. I guess the experience is about the same. I went to the Bham bowl too. I wasn't as ill about that one because of all the guy's that weren't playing.. I figured they would struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,782 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 The first game I can clearly remember was 1967 at Legion Field for the mud game against Bammer. I was at some games prior to that but I don’t have clear memories of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
