It's Almost Time

I was out watering this morning and I came to a special tree that always makes me think of football. The tree is a live oak. You guys have lots of those but you don't see many in North Alabama. The tree reminds me of good times and bad times. I bought it at one of the plantaions on the river road to N.O. after the 2003 Auburn at LSU game. It was just a small seedling but is now over 7 ft tall and doing well. The bad memory is that you guys beat the crap out of us 31-7 but overall it was a good time experiencing my first game in Tiger Stadium. The game was delayed by a storm that hit just before game time, I should have known then we were in trouble.

But now the tree serves as a lesson that life goes on even in bitter defeat. But geez I hope I don't have to buy another live oak seedling this year to remember that lesson.:thumb:

I wish the Tigahs good luck except October 20th and hope the winner of that game goes to the SECC game. I really look forward to the LSU-bama game. I hope LSU really lays a beating on $aban.

 

thanks for the nice post.




geez.... i must be getting soft. :dis:








:hihi:

 

Thanks PT, for a real classy post. You're one of the "big 4" from Auburn, who do a great job on our forum, and are always welcome. I wish you guys the same luck, but with a little different outcome for our tussle :hihi: .

You're right, it's almost time, under a week for us to kick off. May the refs smile on our Tigers in Baton Rouge this year!

 

just dont roll the gd thing with toilet paper.

 

I am confused, why do you guys always mention refs when talking about AU?

Great to see PT here, I share his sentiments.

 

i would love to have one here but it's too cold for them.

i covet the one in front of our next door neighbor's house (or whats left of it) in nola.

that is something i really miss about s. louisiana - the live oaks. i keep a picture in my office of a grove of live oaks that i took on my first trip to br when i was 12-13. that was when s. louisiana got in my blood and i was destined to be a tiger.

 

Question: What does it take to beat two Tigers in a three week period? Mississippi State!

Go Dawgs!

 

Man, CDawg, that's just what I needed to brighten my day!

 

Beat us with what? That stingy MSU defense that held us to 50 or less points 4 out of the last 5 years? Or is that explosively overpowering and dominating machine you call an offense gonna hang half a hundred on Dorsey and tha' boys?
