Hey everybody.  Todd Foltz here.  AU class of 1993, Communications major.  Grew-up in Winston-Salem, NC, and now live in a little 1-stoplight village just west of there called Lewisville.  Am a rabid Auburn fan, usually running my wife out of the house when games are on (when I can get them on tv up here).

Absolutely LOVE this site!  ...and I thought Facebook was addictive!  I can't get enough of this stuff now, football season is gonna be unreal!  Really looking forward to chatting you y'all.  This is about the only worthwhile source of Auburn info. /news that I've found.  Keep it up, and

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up going every Saturday to my Grandpa's (AU Grad) house to watch the Auburn game with my dad and uncle (AU Grad) or staying home to watch them when my Grandpa and Uncle attended them and basically just watched it because it was on. Then, in 2003, my Grandpa and I had a conversation where he told me about his experience at Auburn and how much Auburn and the football program really meant to him. I instantly felt a connection with Auburn. After one of the best seasons in Auburn Football history, he passed away. Even though I was deeply saddened, I was happy that he had the chance to see the team that he loved so much, go undefeated. Ever since that day, I have been the biggest Auburn fan in my family and will continue to be until the day I die. I can't think of anything that sends chills down my spine more than the feeling of being inside of a packed stadium practicing the traditions of Auburn Football. I can honestly say the first time I ever went to an Auburn game, I literally had to wipe the tears from my eyes because I was so overwhelmed. I will receive my A.A. in December and if everything works out, will be attending Auburn in the Spring of '09, but even if things do not go as planned and I end up at U.F. or something, I will always be an Auburn man at heart.

This is better late than never.  I just noticed the thread

From the Dothan area.  AU Horticulture '03.  I work as a real estate appraiser along the Gulf Coast and also am in the process of opening a nursery so I can actually use my degree.  Most of my family went to school at Auburn but a few went to the other school as well.  I have been a Tiger since I could talk

I love Auburn Football as much as any human being possibly can (too much sometimes) and I love this site too.  Most everyone here is as hopelessly obsessed as me and I look forward to meeting you come this fall

Went to Auburn in 1990-91.  Grew up in Mississippi and live about 30 miles from Oxford which Is mostly Ole Miss territory.  Alot of friends are Ole Miss or State fans.  Gives me great pleasure each and most every year to gloat a little over the victories that Auburn puts up.  And they ask me why I'm an Auburn fan, ha!

From Birmingham, I live in Jacksoville, Al now where I am a senior at JSU (graduate aug 7), my dad, mom, grandparents, cousins, and aunts are all Auburn Fans (few of my cousins wents to AU) we all love auburn and we all are very intense fans. I bleed orange and blue.

Also I wanted to share a great Auburn experience, One of my fraternity brothers here at Jacksonville is from Cartersville, GA and is best friends with Ronnie Brown. On spring break 2006 I flew down to Miami and got to stay at Ronnie's house, He was hanging out with Mayo Sowell and Channing Crowder, Ronnie gave us $350 dollars to go out on the town and let us drive his Range Rover. Also there was a guy with an Alabama shirt on and Ronnie told him you can't wear that shirt in my house, the guy thought he was kidding and Ronnie was serious and he had to take the alabama shirt off (pretty funnny)

Slapout!  AU grad.  Fan since birth.  My father was hugh Auburn fan.  He and I would go to ball games when there were only 30,000 in stadium and they would give be giving tickets away.  Sat on the hill in the grass many a day.  Hate he passes away before things like 6 against Bama.  He took a lot of verbal abuse from the Bama fans at the round table at the local eatery. He would of loved it!!
