Shoop's trip to Auburn

[BigShoop]

We started with the guys in the front seat drinking this:

And the guys in the backseat drinking this:

Moving along.....fat guys need to eat....

Problem was, it wasnt hot and ready....the hot dogs were chilly....and Steve didnt get the butter pecan that he wanted OH, so much.

So anyways, anyone who has driven through the state of Georgia knows that their road signs are a complete abortion, and that out-of-staters will easily get lost when driving at night..........which we did. Long story short, our destination was Columbus, GA and we ended up in Eufala, AL.....and our 6 hr drive took about 7 1/2.

Onto gameday, we learned that girls at Auburn wear hot little dresses to football games............ALL of them.

It was also on gameday that I learned about my new favorite drink, "the force".....one cooler + 17 beers + 1 handle of vodka + minute maid lemonade.

Most of the group was there early for kickoff.

Then the eagle flew from right above us. (friggin COOL.)

But in overtime, Auburn learned a lesson about the Big East and about USF football.

After watching a team start from scratch, and going to every home game since 2001, and watching a program grow faster than any program EVER has, and being there for what surely was a defining moment in the school's history, you'll get this sort of reaction, and you realize why it is that we watch sports:

Well done, Shoop.  Well done.

(although I cannot condone the open alcohol containers in the vehicle)

That was a good shot of the War Eagle. Wow, that thing is awesome! I have a lot of respect for the Auburn tradition, that atomosphere looked great. I can't wait till USF builds tradition like that.

Great thread.  These are the most fun to read for those of us who can't make the games.  Keep them coming!!!

The actual TD video still gives me chills. And I still laugh at myself for my voice cracking.

And the other one, it's just the true emotion that's pouring out. You cant duplicate that.

Honestly, it was great and the fact that you wanted to cry shows a whole different side ......  8)

You should probably put a disclaimer in there about dropping the f-bomb, though, just in case anyone plays that with kids around.

That was me. Apologize for the cursing, but like Shoop said, just true emotion pouring out.

That was awesome seeing how the "other half" celebrated.  For us savages up in the nosebleeds it was a very similar scene.  I had my camera on me, but, as always, I forgot to take any video.
