The day after an amazing Thanksgiving with my family, we were on the road to watch the Auburn Tigers play against Alabama in the Iron Bowl. It's been a few years since Auburn has become a candidate in advancing to the SEC National Championship; so we were all anticipating an eventful weekend. When we arrived in Auburn on Friday afternoon we could easily tell that everyone else felt the exact same way, and we knew this was going to be a crowded game, but the more people the better!
On Saturday morning the game began to play out, and every fan of both teams shared their football team support. As the real game approached that afternoon, Jordan-Hare Stadium began to fill up and became extremely loud. Then, as the game progressed, each fan became more nervous with each play that was carried out. I witnessed first hand that this was not going to be an easy win for either team!
My favorite part was watching Chris Davis, number eleven, run into the end-zone after receiving what was supposed to be a field goal kick. To be able to see history being made right before my eyes was astounding! I couldn't and still can't believe the miraculous game that declared Auburn the SEC West Champions! Both teams played an amaziong game, and they both fought for the win but at the end of the day there could only be one winner.
It was so much fun for my family and I because not only was this the first Iron Bowl Braxton was able to attend, but he was able to witness the atmosphere of Auburn and the victory that night! I loved watching him have a blast throughout the entire game, while yelling "War Eagle," and seeing him have the chance to roll Toomer's Corner! Not only did my family make memories, but Auburn made history!
The Friday before game day! Braxton is the football player, and I am the cheerleader!
All of us cousins were ready to cheer on them Auburn Tigers!
Before the game started!
After the winning touchdown, the fans went crazy and flooded the field!
We believed. We loved. We won.
