5 in a Row's Gotta Be Tough

Recently I was reflecting on the 2006 season, and it occurred to me that Auburn was supposed to lose the Iron Bowl this year. Actually, we are led to believe that this year is the year each and every year by the Neck Nation. It just turns out that it is never actually THE year for UAT. Anyway, put on your thinking caps for a minute and reminisce with me about the air of excitement in Tuscaloosa just prior to the game. Even though there was no reason to think so, all of the UAT fans believed in their hearts that they would beat Auburn that day. There was just something about the intensity and focus the players had. I think I remember a guarantee being made by one of the linemen. I can also remember someone at the tailgate saying, “I don’t know man, I just have a good feeling about this one.” Anyway, I bring all this up to remind you what desperate losers this bunch really is. I’ve enjoyed the excitement around the state, and on this board, and I hope it continues because it makes trips down memory lane that much more enjoyable for me.
