YEAAAAAHHHH WE FREAKING OWNED AUBURN 23-14!!!!!


The trip was fun, and this could arguably be my best college
experience to date. All the shit we endured til the game suddenly
spat back at the Auburn fans by half time, and when the game ended
and we were walking back to our car, the small contingent of Georgia
Tech fans silenced half of Alabama. For my readers who aren't
familiar with college football, Auburn was one of the 2 teams in the
top college division that went undefeated last season (the other was
USC) and were unlucky not to be in the national championship game
because of the nature of the way the rankings work in the computer.
There's still bitter debate about weather they should be played USC
or not. Regardless, they were potential national champions of last
year and we beat them.

Our offence wasn't that bad, but our defence was solid, interceptions
were the key. We could say we were fortunate that Auburn's
Quarterback was inexperienced, but we definitely outplayed them in
the game.

Take that Auburn!!! Undefeated no more, and let's make it clear,
having a Ball (Reggie, our Quarterback) is better than having a Cox
(their Quaterback)

With this, we should be able to beat Univ. of North Carolina (UNC) in
our next home game and the following week, Univ. of Connecticut
(UConn). Then we'll see how we play against the mighty Virginia Tech
in their own turf. By then, we should be ranked well in the top 20 of
the nation.

It's too exciting, I'm eagerly awaiting for the next game. For now,
I've lost my voice, in need of serious sleep (we came back at 5 in
the morning right after the game ended at 1am) and I'm thankful that
monday is a day off with labor day.

Pictures!
