Auburn Goes to Outback Bowl!



I completed my college aducation at Auburn University 54 years ago when it was known as Alabama Polytecnic Institute, Ole "API"! Enrollment was about 4,800 students, the football stadium sat about 10,000 people. Today the enrollment is around 30,000+ I understand, the stadium seats 80,000 plus! It certainly please me to see the fans chanting "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger" and giving the team a standing ovation after barely losing to it's arch rival University of Alabama two weeks ago. It's this spirit and the fact they took Alabama the #2 team in the Nation right down to the last minute, stopped Ingram cold (Ingram got the Hiesman anyway, even though he failed miserably in the last game against Auburn)that Auburn was selected for a New Years Day Outback Bowl above other probable better teams!
WAR EAGLE!!
