Why not start out game week with an old favorite. This article was written before the 2003 season. It's just as relevant today as it was four years ago. See you Saturday. War Eagle!!
At this very moment Jordan Hare stadium is deserted. 87,451 seats stand empty. The smell of fresh cut grass lingers in the air. The aroma of Bourbon has long since faded. No fans are climbing to their seats in the upper deck. No vendors are selling cokes and peanuts. No kids are running around picking up discarded souvenir cups and shakers. It is the calm before the storm.
But as we sit in our cubicles, on our couches or in our cars, something is building in Jordan Hare stadium. The ground crew can feel it every time they walk through the empty gates. It is the hopes, dreams and expectation of 87,451 empty seats. 87,451 ordinary people that may very well take part in something really special this year. In the month leading up to the most anticipated Auburn football season since 2003, this quiet fury has been building in Auburn. It will grow to an almost unbearable swell and culminate when Tiger soars through the stadium to the yell of WAAAAAAARRRR EAGLE and the smoke starts to rise out the tunnel.
On September 1st, when Kansas State comes to the plains, they will be walking into the tiger's den. The fury will envelop their players and fans and they will get a little taste of what football really is. It’s not just a game. It’s a storm that lives in us, a passion that is undeniable and truly awesome. It grows closer every day and if you listen close, you can hear it rumbling in the distance.
The storm is coming… will you be ready?
