First Post: GAME ONE

Hey everyone. Here we are. Game Day finally has arrived. We're all happy. I have abundant sun here in E. Montgomery, Ala., and the radar looks clear to me. Should be a good day for football.

I'm trying to work in a few minutes with my girls right now, so I'll keep it short. See you all this afternoon!

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
It's Game Day, peeps. We'll be doing stuff. I'm arriving at J-H around 3:30 CDT. My plan is to venture out and visit at least one HOTTIE tailgate. I'll be providing frequent updates during the game. My goal is to have a halftime Campfire®. Post-game will be slow because I'll be on deadline.

I will update with stuff before I leave the stadium. It could be midnight.

Here's what the next few days look like:

Sat., Sept. 5, vs. Louisiana Tech, 6:05 p.m. CDT
Sun., Sept. 6, 6 p.m.
Mon., Sept. 7, OFF
Tue., Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m. (Chizik presser at 11:30 a.m. CDT)
Wed., Sept. 9, 4:30 p.m. (Wifey's birthday; Beatles Rock Band is released)
