Auburn Fans Still Ready to Go
Of course we all would have loved this game to be a battle of two unbeaten teams, but Arkansas had to come into Jordan-Hare Stadium and shock the world last week.
The atmosphere in Auburn today was exciting, but not overwhelming. I asked some Auburn fans if last week's loss hurt the mood of today. Here is a sample:
"There have been a lot crazier weekends. When there is more on the line, people are here earlier and they are crazier. It's a good weekend, but if we were undefeated, we would have been a lot busier. There would have been a lot more yelling." - Scott Jones
"I think it would have been better obviously because if we're undefeated, we're #2. They're probably fourth or fifth. You've got a prime time game between two top five teams. I think it would have been better, no question." - Bruce Shelton
"Auburn's atmosphere pretty much stays the same." - Paula Lansdon
"I think the fans would have been a little more shaken because there would have been a little more at stake." - Andrew Hart
So even though most people I spoke with said it was a little tamer today than it would have been if Auburn won last week, the fans still recognize there is a lot on the line today. A win puts the Tigers back into the national championship conversation. So expect the fans to play a part in today's game.
