The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

THE GOOD : Auburn beat Alabama 22-17 for their 5th straight win over their main rivals. The game was exciting, the weather was beautiful, we had tons of fun with our awesome family and friends, and for Auburn fans, it couldn't have been better.

THE BAD: Our Fort Payne football team lost to Athens in the playoffs 41-7. Fort Payne had lots of turnovers and certainly didn't have a good night Friday night.

THE UGLY: After the Auburn/Alabama game, as Auburn players and coaches tried to enter the tunnel going into their dressing room, Alabama students pelted them with cups, full bottles of water and other trash items. As Auburn's David Irons reached to shake a police officer's hand, an Alabama fan hit him in the eye with a full bottle of water, prompting him to have to be treated by team doctors for a serious eye injury. Now if that's not UGLY, I don't know what is. To be fair, all Alabama fans are not like that but it doesn't take many instances of poor sportsmanship to ruin the reputation of a school.

And just think I have heard a lot of Bama fans talk about the lack of class Tubberville showed last year when he held up the four fingers after last year. Can't wait til next year. Fear the other hand.
