I’ve noticed that people wait for football all season, but unless you’re playing a big name, nobody is really going to get in football mode until you’ve played a game. That was very apparent when I was at the tailgate at 10AM and didn’t see more than 50 people until after 1PM. It was a slow day, but the game and the rain got people going. That was some rain, by the way. Now can we get a little more excited and not care who the opponent is? You only get 8 days out of the entire year to watch a game in Jordan-Hare. Follow me.

No, those are not gunshots at the Amphitheater. There’s just a beautiful balloon arrangement that isn’t handling the heat very well. #auburn #wareagle #BeatMercer

Tailgate next to me is “Noise from Illinoise.” Better not be Bret Bielema. #auburn #wareagle #BeatMercer

The game clock has 5:00 minutes on it and the BOOMtron is now showing the Ohio State game, which means the lighting delay should be over. pic.twitter.com/bauvrX5qCW
