BCS Bound!!!

One of the many reasons I love living in this college town is depicted below in these pictures. Today our beloved Auburn Tigers left for Arizona in preparation to take on the Oregon Ducks. There was an "official" send off/mini Tiger Walk I guess you could say. I swear over half of Auburn was there --- guess going back to work after the holidays will have to wait until the Tigers are on the road. ;) We loaded up the boys with shakers in hand ready to cheer them on as they drove out of town. So much energy was at that complex.

It was a little bit more subdued because the players/coaches/family had to go through TSA security screening at the Athletic complex -- they did this so that the team could directly board the plane in Atlanta and avoid all the security. So the fans/us really couldn't get that close to them....once through security, they could have no contact with anyone.

Getting ready for the players!!!
Big Josh Bynes............I sure wouldn't want to see him staring me down if I was playing on the offensive side of the ball :)

Cam!!!!! Of course he didn't let the fans down. He ran around videoing everyone before he ever boarded the bus. He even laid back into the crowd to take a self portrait of himself with the fans and then had to go back through security AGAIN. It was pretty funny!

Waiting on the buses to pull away!

WARRRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE, HEY!!!!!

And they are off! Good luck boys! Rod and I will see you in Glendale!!!
