I Believe In Auburn

As I've mentioned before, my husband and I are die-hard Auburn fans. Brian graduated from there in 2007, while I attended Samford University in Birmingham ( I liked to think I earned an honorary diploma from AU). We love to go up to games as much as we can and when we can't we always watch the games on TV. We proudly fly the Auburn flag in front of our house and say "War Eagle" when we see a fellow fan. 

Needless to say, the 2012 college football season has not been one Auburn's finest. As a matter of fact, we are 1-6 (uh makes me want to throw up just writing that) for the first time in 60 years. I find myself getting so frustrated watching them play...just want them to pull it out! B even jokes that he is taking down the flag and putting up our high school flag. 

(sorry for the bad quality)

I think the thing that separates a true fan from what they call a "band-wagoner" is that true fans still love their team even when they are 1-6 or 0-12. You are fan because you know what the AU symbol truly stands for, not players on a field, but class, integrity, honor and sportsmanship. George Petrie, writer of the Auburn creed said it best, "...and because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and Love it!" So, I guess I need to just be happy that  we won the national championship a few years ago and know that "there's always next year".
