Just boarded our flight out of Birmingham to Dallas. A good third of the passengers are Auburn fans. Might be a good-sized contingent this evening wearing bright orange.

"Welcome" may not be the best way to describe how we feel about Auburn.

Will the euphoria surrounding the Gold Chrome helmets and dark uniforms endure or quietly fade as the initial quarter comes to an end? It'll be interesting the weight of it.

I don't know about the first quarter, but by the end of the 4th we're going to know a whole lot about the state of the Coaching Staff and program as a whole. We are stepping onto the field at home against a mid SEC program.

Really excited/nervous for this one. I'm realistic that a loss is very possible here... but it would be really deflating for me. For better or worse… I have mentally put a lot into this being a win that starts a great season for us.

I don't care how the hell we do it... even if it's really ugly... just get the damn win Bears!

A few early observations:

BUGWB looks significantly smaller than in recent years past. Anybody know why?

Absolutely zero breeze. And high humidity.

Fair number of Klan Aggy fans, but they are scattered here and there throughout the upper deck.


Dennis Wiley gave the invocation. TMK, he didn't cry out to God.

"Klan Aggy"? Why, because they're wearing all-white?

Kansas St is Wheat Aggy
Iowa St is Corn Aggy
Okie St is Dust Bowl Aggy

So far so good:

There was a tweet a few days ago that showed the BU DL is slightly bigger than Auburn's
