Thank you so much for writing such complimentary things about my alma mater. It makes me so proud of my school. I have always believed Auburn truly is a magical place to be on game day (even game week!). I live away and haven’t made it down for a game in a few years. But it is good to know things haven’t changed. I am sure Auburn, like any other school, sometimes has rude fans. It is just a fact of life. But I am so glad you only experienced the good ones. I think, at Auburn, the majority of the fans are nice and really enjoy interacting with the fans from other teams.

How awesome to see Southern Hospitality continues to be extended! Thank you for sharing with others your experience. From my AU days ’87-’91…the AUFan above is right…couldn’t find a student parking place in the Fall starting on Wednesdays. We are new to the RV world and I’ve been humored at my futile attempt to find a place for the RV around town and in the state parks for just one game in Auburn. War Eagle!

Glad your Auburn experience was a great one. You guys played a good game.

If you think 1pm on Friday is something, try Wednesday afternoon when the RVs start rolling in and Thursdays when half the lots are full

Well written Ruck! I’ve never had a chance to go to Auburn.

But I’m pretty sure I’ve camped out for tailgating for BSU football early… dunno if that makes us closer to an elite program haha Well that could be due to the fact that I probably didn’t make it to the game. haha

We experienced the same kind of out going crowd when we traveled to Kansas a few years back. Everyone we met, while still wearing Toledo gear, was very kind, wished our team luck, and usually asked about the drive out there. We were even invited out for drinks and food afterwards. They were some of the nicest, friendliest people we have ever met. It is safe to say, that Toledo would not exactly return the favor for opponents fans at the Glass Bowl. I made sure to be very courteous to the Colorado fans a few weeks back because it really does leave an outstanding impression. Glad you had a good trip.
