The Curse of the Auburn Tiger

Seriously! There is not actually proof of this "curse", but yesterday afternoon while I am sitting at the Carolina/Auburn game with Tena & Jamie watching our boys play like a high school football team, Garcia throw more interceptions than I thought possible and watched as our offense could not score on the worst defense in our conference, another loyal Carolina fan put this bug in my ear. He also informed the me and the rest of section 11 that we have not been able to beat Auburn since 1933, and this year, being our "best year" we still could not do it. Even with the great talent we have on the team this year. This really makes me think... Maybe, there is a "Curse of the Auburn Tigers" again the USC Gamecocks. 

Other than that upsetting loss, the horrible play calling (up the middle does not work - let's try something else next week) and all the mistakes, I had a wonderful time at one of my favorite places to be Williams-Brice. It was perfect football weather! Not to hot. Not to cold. Just right! We tailgated with Nancy & Ashley in their normal tailgate spot and much to our surprise - the Lindsey twins tailgated right beside us! (Let me be honest with you... Before yesterday I did not know who they were. They both played for USC in like 2003-2007, one was an offensive lineman, and one was a defensive lineman. Well now they one a catering company in Mobile, AL, the food is amazing I must add. And they aren't bad to look at either) It is a good thing we all look our best, especially since we were all in garnet and black :) The plan was to go to Wild Wing in the Vista after the game to see Ellen Drive play. After a couple of beers and the hours of waiting for the traffic to die down we ultimately decided that we would head home to Charleston, to get home early enough to go out at home. Well that was the plan anyway...

As we are headed to I-26 to start our trip back to the Holy City, some jerk ran right into the back of Jamie's truck. We were at a complete stop and he clearly was to intoxicated to notice the break lights and hit us going at least 40 miles per hour. Great way to end the night, right?! Thankfully, no way is seriously injured, just achy and sore. If that guy was an Auburn fan I would have 100% blamed the accident on the "Curse of the Auburn Tiger", he wasn't so it was just pure bad luck. 

Hopefully next year, we will be able shake this curse and actually beat Auburn. But if Auburn is the only "Tigers" we loss to this year - I will still be a happy girl! GO GAMECOCKS!
