Did This Surprise Anyone?
I have had the awesome honor of being in attendance at some of the most incredible Auburn games in history. Not just Auburn history but perhaps college football history-- I get a great reminder of it when I see so many past games on ESPN Classic.
Count 2006 Auburn-Florida in the above category. Since Caroline is now 3 weeks old, LP felt it okay if I headed to the Plains with Zack. He has never been to Auburn before and this held the potential to be a great game for him to attend.
We hit the tailgate by 8.30am Saturday morning. It was like a ghost town at the tailgate so we headed over to College Gameday where Zack's Mexican jumping bean impression got him on TV.
I made sure Zack got the full Auburn experience-- I gave him a short campus tour, including showing him where LP and I met for our first date.
We then headed to Toomer's Drugs for an authentic cup of lemonade.
It then came time to settle in for some serious crunk-gaiting. Somehow we made a case of working man's brew disappear (along with enough Jello-shots to ensure Bill Cosby a rich royalty check this month) and some beer that was given to us outside Jordan-Hare by some co-eds who weighed the options of "get it confiscated or give it to 2 old dudes." Score for the 2 old dudes.
Gametime and we're tweaking. The eagle flies and Zack is officially jacked. Obviously, I'm biased but the eagle flying is a hard site to beat. Screw your tethered buffalo or longhorn, guys riding horses or tigers in cages. Unless you teach that tiger or buff to run around the stadium before coming to rest at the 50-yard-line then you've got no game to speak of.
Not much I can say about the game that you haven't already seen on TV. If was insane. I did my typical scream until I can't speak and have a throbbing headache routine. But that's just what I do.
After the game I had to take Zack to one more Auburn tradition- rolling Toomer's Corner. Zack got to throw a few rolls and the band came out to play. I understand that Tubs was attending but I never actually got to see it as we made the trip on back to Monkeytown.
All in all, I think ZackPe had an awesome time and it was a game for the ages for us to witness and do our male-bonding thing.
Thanks to all my grlz for the yard pass.
WAR DAMN EAGLE !!

WDE! I was there! I'm glad we stuck that recovered fumble into the end zone to add the exclamation point! I just wished they allowed us to kick the extra point...or go for two. Now, the hard part. Do I pull for TN to beat Bama, because, well they're Bama. Or do I pull for Bama to beat TN? Right now, Bama is lowering Aub's strength of schedule.

What does someone have to do to see Zack's impression of a mexican jumping bean? Or is that code for "dancing?"

Go back to College Gameday at 9.50am and you'll see Zacky-Bean jumping up and down and "milking the cow" over Herbie's left shoulder.

sweet, milking the cow is all the definition I need. See you at ch. 4 pancake breakfast Wizzard of Z. Oh, hang on, that's the mexican jumping Z. I guess you'll have to be an also-ran and I'll name you blizzard of Z. An arguably better name than wizzard of Z, I think you'll agree. Inside joke, b*tchez. Z, Z and me.
