This is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received! 😭😭😭😭 My daughter and I were involved in a horrendous car wreck Friday night returning from ⁦@AuburnHighFB⁩ playoff win in Mobile. Her words are salve to my soul. Tomorrow is promised to no one.

This!! My oldest was a freshman the Covid year. Went through Harsin to Freeze with misery. My twin boys are juniors at Auburn High. They barely believe my tales that Auburn has won big games. They’ve wanted to pull for Auburn, but have drifted to Oregon or LSU. Youngest daughter

This—THIS is what I’m happiest about tonight.

These kids not only had to live through Covid, they were at Auburn in the historical nadir of the football program. Finally, they get a big one to celebrate.

Never, never, NEVER to yield.

Not sure what surprises me more 26 years since I last played CFB—NIL/transfer portal or personal foul “bodyweight landing on the QB” being a real call. There should be no special protection for a single position.
