Such Glorious words have never poured from the keyboard so elegantly as the Calling of the Nip!

I'll take the stalwart Senior Nehemiah Pritchett.

Mark My Word - Auburn will beat 1 of Alabama or Georgia Mark My Word - Auburn will finally stop playing down to their competition and blow out / beat the teams they are supposed to and not get blown out by the top teams. Auburn should be in every game this season going into the 4th quarter.

Went for a walk this morning and it wasn't as suffocating as it had been. The cloud cover seemed to help along with the breeze. I have noticed with schools now going full swing that it must be getting close to the time for the calling of The Nip. We are having our first Den meetings of the new Cub Scout year and only have 2 more recruiting events this week until we fill out our Ranks. After that, it will feel like we are at the precipice of Fall between school, Scouts, and Football!

Whether it rains or not, I think we see a healthy dose of the run game regardless. I think Tank and Hunter both want 100 yard games!

In my comment a couple of days ago I was unsure if the NIP would arrive in time for the first game. Low and behold stepping out on to the porch to walk the kids to the bus stop this morning I discovered it to be a crisp, refreshing, and low humidity morning. What perfect timing with the start of September, 2 days before game day, and all of the Fall things starting to show up everywhere!

Auburn - 45 Mercer - 17 I imagine we will be playing 3rd-4th stringers by the 4th quarter so I wouldn't be surprised by a late score by Mercer.

Had the first pack meeting for Cub Scouts last night and it was like sitting in a sauna. The poor kids were dripping head to toe and all they did was introduce themselves and kicked a soccer ball around for a few minutes while I spoke to the parents. The call of the Nip for me this year is going involve these sort of "Fall" activities more so than the actual change in weather unless by some miracle we get a cold front to come through before gameday!
