Sidetrip: Auburn University Homecoming 2011

Mome and I have lots of adventures together however since we live so far apart, we often take sidetrips with other people.  This was one of those times!

My youngest son attends Auburn University where he is also employed as a videographer for the football team.  My daughter,also named Melissa, decided to take a young Italian couple we to know to see their first college football game.  We felt that the pagentry of a Homecoming game would be something to behold.....and it was.

We used the three hour drive to the Auburn to explain American football and to make them aware of the various traditions associated with Auburn University football.  They learn the Fight song (somewhat), Glory Glory to Old Auburn, why we say "War Eagle" when we are the Tigers, etc. By the time we arrived at the stadium Columba and Antonio were fully indoctrinated and could shout "War Eagle" with the best of us. Lewie was able to leave his post from above the Jumbotron to come and say hello just before the game.

As our War Eagle circled above the heads of a stadium full of Tiger fans, Columba looked at me and said, "Auburn is amazing!" Yes, yes it is.
