Our group came from Ruston, ATL, and New Orleans and we had a great time even though we lost. We met up with the aviation organization in AU and their president showed us around. We headed out for pizza for dinner and it was awesome. We went to the 17&16 bar (or 16&17, can't remember) and the Auburn students/fans were very friendly and came up to talk to us regularly. We ended the night a someone's apartment, not sure who...We got back into the hotel room at 3:30am.
Game day, after 4 hours of sleep I was ready to go, I wasn't bad off from Friday night. We headed out and found the La Tech Alumni Association tent. Who ever set that up and who ever cooked, it was a great spot and a great time with great food. We met back up with the Auburn aviation guys at their tailgate. Some of my group was stopped and asked if they wanted to play the bean bag toss game along the way. Some of their fans would ask about our thoughts on the game and start nice conversations. By the time it came to head into the stadium, I was ready for football. My voice was gone by the end of the first quarter, but still tried to make some noise. After the game we stopped by some sandwich shop which was excellent. We encountered our only bad Auburn fan there. We were all pretty wiped after the game. We met back up with an old Auburn grad who was near the Alumni tent who had a widescreen setup. Then we headed over to the post-game show and got some questions in. Thanks for letting us do that by the way guys, it was fun. I can't say enough about the experience we had with their fans, it was great.
Besides the game, it was a great time and recommend going if we play them again. I'm not too worried about the season, our guys are tough enough to move past this game and get ready for Navy. I have already moved on, and can't wait till next Saturday!
How did your weekend go?
