Tigers & Dawgs

Tomorrow Auburn and Georgia will play in Jordan-Hare Stadium on The Plains. It's one of the oldest rivalries in college football. My very first Auburn game was in the late '70s. It was the Auburn/Georgia game and we had end zone seats. That day, Auburn surprised the Dawgs by sporting orange jerseys. Joe Cribbs and James Brooks ran wild. Years later, when Bo Jackson was the top running back in the country, I went with Dad and Mark to a game in Athens, GA. Bo scored a touchdown and Auburn won a close game. After the game, we waited outside the stadium where the Auburn players walked to the bus. I remember seeing Bo. He was wearing camouflage and was holding a box of KFC chicken. War Eagle!
