I Don't Think I Can Wait 8 More Days!!!



I love Auburn.  
I get weepy when Nova, War Eagle VII, takes flight.  Goose bumps appear when I hear the Alma Mater.  I lose my voice by halftime if I am at the game or at home watching from my couch.  I have my lucky shaker that I have had for at least 10 years now.  I put up the same Facebook profile picture of my son meeting the Heisman Trophy Winner Cameron Newton every time Auburn plays.  I still have AND wear my lucky Auburn Baseball hat from when I was a Diamond Doll.
When I get to campus, memories of the short time I spent at Auburn come flooding back and I miss it.  I tell anyone who will listen what apartments and dorm I lived in, what sorority I joined, where I had classes, where I spent most of my time, where I ate and where I shopped. My child loves Auburn.  My mom and dad love Auburn.  My husband...well...he's a Florida State fan, but he has cheered for Auburn with us.

Auburn, for the first time in my life, has a chance to win the National Championship on January 10th.  I have watched other bowl games this New Year, but I have been counting down the days until MY team, MY Tigers, play for what they have earned.  I have tried, but I cannot put into words the emotions I am feeling and will feel on January 10th.  I have and will always love Auburn.  I loved Auburn when they had losing seasons.  I loved Auburn when they were on probation.  I loved Auburn before I knew what college was.  Ups and downs, win or lose, I will still love MY Tigers.  "I Believe in Auburn, and LOVE IT."
