bubivey 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This was sent to me from a retired elementary school PE coach. She is an Auburn graduate and an avid Auburn fan. She coached both of my sons at elementary school. Great Auburn Gal !! Enjoy and War Eagle!! Let's Tee it up!! Are you ready? At this very moment, Jordan Hare stadium is deserted. The 87,451 seats stand empty. The smell of fresh cut grass lingers in the air. The aroma of Bourbon has long since faded. No fans are climbing to their seats in the upper deck. No vendors are selling cokes and peanuts. No kids are running around picking up discarded souvenir cups and shakers. It is the calm before the storm. But as we sit in our cubicles, on our couches or in our cars, something is building in Jordan Hare stadium. The ground crew can feel it every time they walk through the empty gates. It is the hopes, dreams and expectations of 87,451 empty seats. 87,451 ordinary people that may very well take part in something really special this year. In the month leading up to the most anticipated Auburn football season since 2003, this quiet fury has been building in Auburn. It will grow to an almost unbearable swell and culminate when Tiger soars through the stadium to the yell of WAAAAAAARRRR EAGLE and the smoke starts to rise out the tunnel. On September 2nd, when Washington State comes to the plains, they will be walking into the tiger's den. The fury will envelop their players and fans and they will get a little taste of what football really is. It's not just a game. It's a storm that lives in us, a passion that is undeniable and truly awesome. It grows closer every day and if you listen close, you can hear it rumbling in the distance. The storm is coming? Are you ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,039 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I am ready! For some reason I am more excited about this season than I have been for the past three. I have a good feeling about this team and the coaching staff. It's going to be a good year. WAR EAGLE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubivey 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 I turned my airconditioner down to 60* to try to get the feel of the "NIP" in the air! It has been 90+ forever here in Albany. I am so ready for the Nip to arrive. I will have a house full Saturday night. We will be hollering loud enough for the neighbors to either join us or start looking for another address for football season. I will keep everyone that is traveling in my travel mercy prayers over the weekend. May God protect you all. War Eagle! Glory to God.

aukooze91 11 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think my heart skips a beat every time I think about the season, the game, college football beginning, etc, etc. I love that nervous feeling, that twitch in your arms and legs, and the butterflies that fill your stomach with anticipation and excitement. I am ready, aren't we all?! WAR EAGLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfan1234 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I will get the feeling when I arrive in Auburn on September 16th. It has been a couple years since I was in Auburn so the feeling is a little subdued right now. It will come back though. I want to see a good beatdown on Saturday then I think I will get more pumped for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big dude 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've been "getting my tailgating stuff in order" for about 2 and a half weeks now. Yeah, you could say I'm slightly pumped..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
