The AT&T service in and around the Georgia Dome for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game this past weekend was the stuff of legend. Have football stadiums finally realized that there will be lots of people pulling and posting lots of data on certain Saturdays in the Fall? It seems so. Given that, and given my partnership with AT&T for the game, the tweets and ‘grams were the opposite of few and far between. And some included Takeo. Follow me.

Takeo Spikes signing autographs at FanZone. Louisville fans in line. His neck caused them to spontaneously combust. #auburn #ATTKickoff #ad

You just thought Auburn’s last names were tiny and unreadable in 2011. Louisville’s are silver, gothic, and tiny. And terrible. #wareagle

Earlier today, @TakeoSpikes51 expressed concern to me about Deion Branch handling the game ball, given his connection to the NE Patriots.

Auburn holds up a big red “3rd Down” sign with the D on the field. Just in case. #wareagle #ATTBlogger #ATTKickoff pic.twitter.com/4ijBYl5fMt

I have ESP. I really do. Saw an Auburn defender running the ball all the way back. Next play, it happened. BOOM. ##ATTKickoff

I predicted the score at the half would be 17-17, but 17-0 will do. #auburn #ATTBlogger #ATTKickoff

Jonathan Jones’s cleats are a different orange than everyone else’s. Hard-hitting facts. #auburn #ATTBlogger #ATTBlogger

Auburn leads the nation in “needing a 1st down to close out the game” situations in the history of football. #ATTBlogger #ATTKickoff

Weird.

Auburn beats Louisville 31-24. Malzahn > Petrino. #ATTBlogger #ATTKickoff

Quick postgame thoughts: it was the first game, and Auburn beat a good team. This week is for getting better. #wareagle #ATTKickoff
— War Blogle (@WarBlogle) September 5, 2015
Auburn is now 7-4 in the Georgia Dome. Bobby Petrino has now lost his first season opener. #wareagle #ATTKickoff #ATTBlogger

ESPN's highlights of the game: the interception on the 1st play of the game, Justin Garrett's fumble recovery, then the score. We're good.

BlogleSpot #33 is the first postgame episode and reminds you that it was the first game and Auburn beat a good team. http://t.co/acpHFpykmw

I have something to tweet, but first tell me if it was legitimate holding on the Jeremy Johnson to Jason Smith TD pass. #auburn
— War Blogle (@WarBlogle) September 6, 2015
Ok, the opinions are completely split, but without that one singular holding call on Johnson’s TD pass to Smith, Auburn wins by 3+ TDs.

The more I think about it, the more happy I am for Peyton Barber. No favoritism at all, but he just seemed to deserve tonight. #auburn

1-0 and all is right. War Damn Eagle and goodnight. #bedtimepoetry #auburn #wareagle
