I used to live roughly 40 minutes away from Auburn University, which is in Auburn, AL. I lived in Phenix City, AL, where I was serving as the Minister of Students at the church. Everybody would go to Columbus, GA, to go shopping and eat out since it was literally right next to Phenix City. And, occasionally, you would go to Auburn to go eat. At that time, there wasn’t a lot to do in Auburn, but the years have come and gone, and there is many places to go shopping and eating now than when I was living there.
My first game that I went to at Auburn was against Ball State University in 2001. At that time, Auburn had: Jason Campbell (QB) (currently with Washington Redskins), Cadillac Williams (RB) (currently with Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Ronnie Brown (RB) (currently with Miami Dolphins), Daniel Cobb (backup QB), Damon Duval (K) (finally, currently, with the Canadian Football League with the Montreal Alouettes). I can’t remember much about the game, but Auburn won. Final score: 30-0; Rushing stats: Auburn-142 yards; Ball State-60 yards; Passing stats: Auburn-243 yards; Ball State-32.
“Begun in 1939, the stadium seats 85,000. It was named for Ralph “Shug” Jordan and Clifford Leroy Hare. Jordan, a legendary football coach for over two decades at Auburn, retired in 1975 as Auburn’s winningest coach. Hare, who played on Auburn’s first football team in 1892, was dean of the School of Chemistry and state chemist from 1930 until 1948.” (History of the name of stadium)
“Flight of the eagle” (watch how close the eagle comes in the stands) (the flight of the eagle at night. This is better seen of the eagle landing in the center of the field.)
