Caz actually got up early. This was an odd kickoff time, 11 am CST. He was a trooper. His first text came in at 8:30. We only got to see him briefly. He has to be inside the stadium really early to get a good seat in the student section. He took several pictures. He was a good sport.
What does one have at an early morning tailgate? Cheese grits and shrimp of course. Sausage and biscuits. Bloody Mary's. Great spread. Those Southerners are so hospitable. They know how to tailgate. I had some great conversations with the hosts. They all offered to be our "boots on the ground", in case Caz ran into an emergency. It is nice to know there are people close by, who care. It makes Caz being 1,200 miles from home, more comfortable for us.
The game was good. Auburn took Ole Miss to the woodshed. The stadium is amazing. I bet they can empty all 95k attendees faster than Fenway. The largest coll he Jumbotron in the nation is impressive. Seeing the pregame flight of the War Eagle was magnificent. What a great tradition. Definitely top 5 of all college football tradition. Number 2 on my list.
We could see Caz in the student section, across the stadium. He was very much into the game. He knows all the Auburn cheers. I hear him saying them to himself when he is laying around.
We met his girlfriend's parents after the game. We had a nice introductory chat. We all meandered over to Toomer's corner for the rolling of the oaks. That is another great Auburn tradition. The students and families throw rolls of toilet paper over the branches of the legendary oak trees located in Toomer's corner. It is quite a site. We took a lot of pictures.
What a great experience. It is a memorable family event.
