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 good too. There were a surprisingly low number of running plays. This was (no doubt) due to the nagging injuries Auburn’s suffered at the running back position as well as an effort to refine the quarterbacks’ and receivers’ execution of the spread offense.
All-in-all it was a fun day. The weather was perfect (the forecasted storms stayed away) and the atmosphere was filled with the casual excitement of an optimistic fan-base who couldn’t wait for fall - yet has to nonetheless.
I’ve posted some photos of myself from the game in my Flickr album. Here’s my favorite:
