Iron Bowl 2017

War Eagle!
     I fly down yesterday for a weekend with Caz.  We are going to attend the Auburn vs. Alabama game at Jordan-Hare Stadium, known is these parts as the Iron Bowl.  This annual game between the two Alabama colleges is a huge part of Rivalry weekend, and could be "THE" best rivalry in all of college football.  This year the surging Auburn squad is still an underdog to the #1 ranked and undefeated Crimson Tide.  Auburn beat the previous #1 team, 2 weeks ago and has a chance to win the SEC West and a spot in the SEC Championship game.  On top of all that, ESPN chose Auburn for it's College Game Day broadcast.  Mayhem.
     With all of this hype and with all my passion for college football, the highlight of the weekend is seeing Caz in person.  I really missed him on Thursday (as I mentioned in my previous post).  Some father/son time is just what the doctor ordered.  I am sure he's more excited about the game.  But I can tell you honestly, for me, it is all about the kid.
