Today starts the new football season, and probably a new era with Auburn football with Gene Chizick as head coach. I have spoken to Gene several time over the off season and he is always cool as a cucumber,
I wish him all the best as he starts what has to be one of the most [...]
This past Saturday we went to the annual A-Day game here in Auburn. For those unfamiliar with what we (and Bama folks) call an A-Day game, it is when between 40,000-90,000 people come to their respective stadium to see their team play each other. More like a glorified open Spring practice, but one because it [...]
So today was the 2009 Super Bowl and as always the commercials seem to get a lot of attention. Overall I was not all that impressed with any one particular commercial this year, and some I was pretty disappointed with some, mainly for their strong sexual content. Some were rehashed from last year, some are [...]
This has been a busy week and a busy Friday. We started off the day with some tree trimming work on the farm. Always good exercise and never a lack of work to be done. The temperature has been going crazy lately. Yesterday it was freezing and today it was about 60* so I managed [...]
So this is basically old news now, Gene Chizik is now the new Auburn Tigers head coach we have all been waiting on now for about 2 weeks. I almost felt obligated to post something about the new head coach living here in Auburn, after all, how often do we welcome a new head coach [...]
The game was much better than I would guess many expected, but Auburn had a chance to win the game at the end with 15 seconds to go on the 14 yard line with 3 plays to punch it in and just couldn’t do it (see AP story). No help from the refs in this [...]
Today Auburn finally ended up with a win after 4 straight losses starting with Vanderbilt back on October 4th and ending with Mississippi last week. The weather was great and the game moved along nicely since it was not on TV this time. No “red hat” referee was even on the field which was nice [...]
Every week there is a home football game in Auburn huge crowds gather for the traditional Tiger Walk where the players walk down the street through the fans and on into the stadium. I saw this guy up in the tree waiting for the football players to pass by and thought of that great story [...]
This week Auburn seemed to be lucky to squeak out a win over an unranked 1-2 Tennessee team, but a win is a win. The remaining games are not going to get much easier, and next week what would seem like an easy game now seems to be a tough conference game against an undefeated [...]
It seems that every day since Cindy Wall [AU press release] died I have found out more and more about what a great person she was and how much she meant to so many people. Yesterday there was a beautiful memorial service for Cindy at Cornerstone United Methodist Church in Auburn where many people shared [...]
