My friend, Jennifer, passed this along to me. I don’t know why, but I love filling out these things. So, here goes:

6) Favorite sounds?
I love good music, but most of all, I love to hear my babies sing that good music.

TGIF, My Soul, Divine!

Thank God it’s Friday. Seriously. I am so ready for the weekend. My plans include watching a lot of football, lake lounging, and going to a pumpkin patch. Oh, what fun!

My sister is on a cruise, so I get the honor of keeping her two, as well as mine. She owes me big time. And, I’m thinking her time is coming real soon. I need a vacation.

I’m rambling. I’m bored. I’m ready to get off at 12:00 today.

Let's Get Down To Business, Shall We?

This is probably one of the most anticipated games of the year being an Auburn fan, for me anyways. LSU is good. And, even though we lost to Miss State, we’re good, damnit!

Auburn’s defense is astounding. And the remarkable thing about all of it is that we’re playing without some of our top players. You’ve got to give it up for these young guys. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but can you imagine how good we are going to be next year? Since Will has been gone, I’ve been searching for a defensive guy that I can keep my eye on. I think I found one. #59 is on fire. He is only a junior, so I’ve got all next year, as well. : )

I have not familiarized myself with LSU’s stats. All I’ve heard is how great they are, even though they did lose to Kentucky. (Bru-hahaha!)

So, all this being said, you would think that I was going to Death Valley to watch them play. Well, I think I’ll pass on this one. Those (LSU) people are ruthless. And, after I’ve had a few Miller Lites, I get feisty. I don’t think those two things are a good combination. I would like to see my kids grow up! No, I’m not exaggerating … It’s that bad down there. You can be certain, though; I’ll be watching it and screaming as if I were in Baton Rouge.

It’s going to be nerve-racking to say the least. I pick the Orange and Blue Tigers by 7. Oh, I’m so excited … War Eagle, suckers!

War Eagle!

There Are a Handful of Them Out There

Yes, I know it is hard to believe, but I do know two Alabama fans that have some class. The first is my brother-in-law, Ken. He knows more about Alabama football history than any other Alabama fan I’ve ever met. He is a football coach and even coached Brandon Cox at Hewitt-Trussville.

The second is my good friend, Geoff. He loves Alabama football. I have to give it to him. He didn’t give me a hard time when Auburn lost against South Fla. or Miss. St. (or maybe I just don’t remember)! Anyways, I’ve tremendously enjoyed watching college football with him this year. (I better go ahead and say that before the Auburn/Alabama game.)

So, today Geoff turns 30. Just for you, I want to give you a big Rolllll (ha! Ain’t happin’, captin’!)

Happy Birthday, Geoff … but, Warrrrrrrrr Eagle!

Happy Birthday to my Babe!

Three years ago on this date, Auburn played Tennessee. Auburn won! Yahoo!
Three years ago on this date, Reagan Elizabeth was born. Yahoo!
The first thing I asked after she was born: Who won the Auburn game? I kid not.

Reagan turns three today; although, she insist she is four.

So, a very happy birthday for my favorite lil’ “Reggae Song!”
Oh yeah, she wants an Auburn football party. I kid not. (Smart, smart child!)

As J.J. Evans would say, "DY NA MITE!"

Let me just start off by saying War (apply your personal favorite here) Eagle!

Tim who? Don't think so ...

I had no doubt that we would win against Florida. When you know something, you just know it. I knew it! Ok, enough giving my own self props. Let’s give credit where credit is due …

Will Muschamp is “da man.” He had that defensive line ready! I haven’t seen Auburn’s defense play that well in awhile. Nobody was getting through that brick wall. These boys did their job and impressed the *$#& out of me.

Our offensive line… Where do I begin? They were on fire. They gave my boy the time he needed to do this thang. Even though they are a bunch of young guys, they played like pros. Al Borges should be happy. Those guys made him look like the old Al we have come to love.

Tommy Tuberville did an excellent job taking up for the Tigers. Even though we were penalized 15 yards for his protest, the call was unfair. I don’t think that I ever seen him that mad. He stiffened up like he was about to fight somebody. I was proud of Tommy.

Wes Byrum … What can I say? Under all that pressure and still made that field goal—twice. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Et cetera.

You knew it was coming … Brandon Cox—wow! He played with that confidence he has been lacking. And he played—GREAT! He is the audible king. He can read defensive like a Dick and Jane book. My favorite thing to watch this year is when he does that thing (audible) that he does so well. People were ready to throw him under the bus. I hope those people are eating their words now. He loves Auburn football, and it shows. And, I love him, and it shows. :)

Now the bad … which have nothing to do with Auburn … I don’t know about you, but I could not stand to look at Urban Meyer. I don’t know what it was. He just looked evil. Especially when he waited to call that time out after Wes kicked that field goal. He thought he was slick. His true colors came out. Pure desperation right there, Urbie. What joy I reveled in after Wes made the field goal—again. So, Urban Meyer, try selling that crap elsewhere, we're all bought up here.

Now the most disappointing situation: Holly Rowe! When my man steps up to be interviewed, INTERVIEW HIM. He is the best, the most excellent, unsurpassed … I digress.
