The SEC, Football, and my Funny Husband

I thought Allen and I were football fans before we moved to Alabama. Well compared to the folks in the South, we weren't. Football is like a religion here. When I lived in Utah, I would dress up on the weekdays, but Saturday was always a t-shirt day. Here is it the opposite. Students tend to not care about their appearance during the week, but on Saturday, the girls are all in dresses and the boys are in shirts and ties ready to go to the football game. It is a little bit backwards if you ask me.

Now I need to add, we will always bleed blue... BYU blue, but with all this football hype, it is hard not to become and Auburn fan. It also helps that they are number two in the nation and our quarterback is the number one candidate for the Heisman trophy. Now the teams down here are good. Really good! So good that I think if Oregon were to play one of the teams down in the South they would get their trash kicked. But then my Dad says that I have just been pulled int he SEC hype and they aren't that good. Well we shall see. We would really like it if Auburn was in the National Championship Game and it would be pretty great if they played Oregon. Then we could really see.

Well Allen and I had the opportunity to go to our first Auburn Football Game. It was quite the experience.

The massive football stadium. It is right in the center of campus. Like I said, football is a religion to these southerns, so we joke that this is their temple.

At the start of the game, an eagle flies around the stadium and lands in the middle of the field. Even though the mascot is a tiger, the eagle apparently has great significance. That is why they say "War Eagle."

After each win, crowds of people go to the corner of campus where there are two trees that hundreds and thousands of people come to TP. This was a first time going .

The final result the next day.

And lastly... my funny husband. He thinks it is pretty great that his wife's name is Cam too. He made this double picture one day and said, "vote for your favorite Cam."

It is true, we have been pulled into the SEC and we are big Auburn Fans and we hope they make it to the National Championship!
