The Auburn Elvis Blog

Going to the Auburn A-Day games was a fun (yet different) experience. The last spring game I’d been to was, I believe, in ‘83 or ‘84 (I remember seeing Bo Jackson play). It was kinda weird cheering both for and against Auburn. The crowd sorta gravitated toward cheering for the offense, but the defense looked […]

That sound you just heard was 30,000 Kentucky fans cursing. After much deliberation, the SEC has decided to hold the remaining quarterfinal game at noon, today; with the two semifinal games starting at 6:00-ish.

We arrived in Atlanta at the Decatur Holiday Inn at about 10:30 AM. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t ready for early check-in until 12:15.

Over the past few years, I’ve made a concentrated effort to take this whole Auburn Elvis thing to “the next level.” Putting on the suit, posing for some photos, and getting on TV has been fun, but are there more possibilities? Ideally, I think my goal is to become a fixture of Auburn athletics, to […]

After controlling the game for the first half, and playing well enough for most of the 2nd, Auburn suffered a complete collapse with about 7 minutes remaining; insuring a gamecock victory.
Auburn’s loss sent them tumbling to last place (alongside Alabama) in the SEC West. It now appears that, barring some unlikely scenarios (most of which […]
