so i found this SWEET koozie while walking to the game yesterday. it was done by a tailgate that is mighty fond of their own cooking. on one side was their lil logo, but on the opposite side was "finish off the 6-pack" and had the scores from the first 5 victories from the streak. needless too say, i used the koozie constantly after the game.
this iron bowl has been awesome. it was neat to be in a relaxed town all week that transformed into a huge southern party by gameday. all year, and for other years i have been blessed to have been invited to tailgate with the Manriques and their relatives. they are really nice and fun people to be around on gameday. two bands, 6 boston butts, finger foods gallore and extra beer if you drink all you brought. this year i even ran into my cousin Billy and his wife Carla. seeing them more than once a year is certainly delightful.
continuing on with how awesome number 6 has been. being a 5th year is awkward at times because so many of your friends from college are no longer in Auburn. however, unlike other games, so many come back to town to enjoy the madness of the Iron Bowl. boarding the supper club bus on friday night with fried, vince, finney, whitestone, delaney, blankenboat, clay was marvelous. riding the drunk bus with good friends is a tradition that is uniquely Auburn. also over the course of the weekend got to spend time with Rivard, Alan, Sara, and Willis - a handful of people who i unfortunately do not get to see very often. i can't wait to go to Tuscaloosa next season nor can i wait until the Iron Bowl returns to the Plains in '09.
War Damn Eagle!
