This season sucked and I still don't know if Jay is the right man for the job, but we crushed UNLV's bowl hopes in a majorly up-and-down game, so...that was tasty.

I went to Lids at West Town and they were like “we don’t stock Auburn gear no one wants it here”. So I went over to another store and bought it from an Alabama fan. Hilariously enough, I bought my Clemson hat from an Alabama fan in Chattanooga.

Chattanooga has a solid population of Bama fans from what I recall. I don’t live in Knoxville anymore so I have to order online. Austin really only has two options for college gear - Texas and occasionally A&M.

Wilton Speight is transferring for his 5th year.

Michigan's QBs for 2018 are Brandon Peters and Dylan McCaffery, with John O'Korn in for the bowl game.

Peters seems to be the guy for 2018, especially given that he's Harbaugh's first QB recruit to see time on the field.

For what it's worth, Michigan's 2017 senior class was the last one recruited by Brady Hoke.

The Daily Mail wrote up the "mass pitch invasion" following the Iron Bowl, somehow not blaming it on Muslims or Jeremy Corbyn. Came into my TL via Dee Ford, a random British lady whose Twitter account was once mistaken for Auburn DE Dee Ford's by our athletic director trying to congratulate him for an award in 2013. This then spiraled into her becoming Auburn's official British fan and she still follows the team.

The comments actually own -- it's all British people saying American football looks dumb and boring and Americans getting really mad at them.

I saved this from The (London) Times, which had an article in 1957 when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip attended a college football game during an American visit.

quote:

MYSTERIES OF FOOTBALL

A huge cheer from some 43,000 people greeted their arrival at the Maryland ground, where, seated between the two state Governors, the Queen was initiated into the mysteries of American football. She and the Duke of Edinburgh sometimes looked a little puzzled as the helmeted, padded young giants hurled themselves into tackles from which the ball rarely seemed to emerge; but there was all the colour of counter-marching bands, the prancing drum majorettes in their attenuated uniforms, and the contortions of the cheer leaders, whose purpose apparently is to whip the rival supporters into a suitable state of frenzy. At one moment a huge Union Jack was formed by a solid bank of spectators across the ground from the royal box. A chilly wind blew and the Queen, who arrived in a rose ensemble, soon put on a full-length $15,000 mink coat presented to her last week by an American mink breeders' association.

Other gifts were presented during the match, including old Indian arrows from Maryland and Oklahoma and footballs for the royal children containing musical boxes which play the Maryland and North Carolina state songs.

THE LAST CORP TRIP
- by P.H. DuVal, Jr.'51

(actually inscribed on a giant stone wall at the Bonfire memorial, just scan it you don't have to read the whole thing)

It was Judgment Day in Aggieland
And tenseness filled the air;
All knew there was a trip at hand,
But not a soul knew where.

Assembled on the drill field
Was the world-renowned Twelfth Man,
The entire fighting Aggie team
And the famous Aggie Band.

And out in front with Royal Guard
The reviewing party stood;
St. Peter and his angel staff
Were choosing bad from good.

First he surveyed the Aggie team
And in terms of an angel swore,
“By Jove, I do believe I’ve seen
This gallant group before.

I’ve seen them play since way back when,
And they’ve always had the grit;
I’ve seen ‘em lose and I’ve seen ‘em win,
But I’ve never seen ‘em quit.

No need for us to tarry here
Deciding upon their fates;
Tis plain as the halo on my head
That they’ve opened Heaven’s gates.”

And when the Twelfth Man heard this,
They let out a mighty yell
That echoed clear to Heaven
and shook the gates of Hell.

“And what group is this upon the side,”
St. Peter asked his aide,
“That swelled as if to burst with pride
When we our judgment made?”

“Why, sir, that’s the Cadet Corps
That’s known both far and wide
For backing up their fighting team
Whether they won, lost or tied.”

“Well, then,” said St. Peter,
“It’s very plain to me
That within the realms of Heaven
They should spend eternity.

And have the Texas Aggie Band
At once commence to play
For their fates too we must decide
Upon this crucial day.”

And the drum major so hearing
Slowly raised his hand
And said, “Boys, let’s play The Spirit
For the last time in Aggieland.”

And the band poured forth the anthem
In notes both bright and clear
And ten thousand Aggie voices
Sang the song they hold so dear.

And when the band had finished,
St. Peter wiped his eyes
And said, “It’s not so hard to see
They’re meant for Paradise.”

And the colonel of the Cadet Corps said
As he stiffly took his stand,
“It’s just another Corps Trip, boys,
We’ll march in behind the band.”
