It is great to be an Auburn Tiger. This past weekend was one of the best times I have had in a long time. Auburn beat LSU in an amazing game. I was at our tailgate watching it with lots of friends and had a wonderful time. Even though we are 8-0 I think I have aged 20 years this season. This past weekend was about as nervous as I have been in a long time. As you know by now, Cam Newton and the Tigers pulled it out and won 24-17. Many that know me know I am one of the biggest Auburn fans you will ever meet. I love Auburn football and always have. It has been a rough couple of years, but regardless of the win / lose record it is always great to be an Auburn Tiger! This year is special. The team has come together and are truly a special group of guys.
Last Sunday the BSC rankings came out and Auburn is #1. It means nothing at this point in the season, but it is pretty cool none the less. That got me thinking about Auburn and “polls”. It has been a great year not just for the football team, but a great one for the whole city. It makes my job so much easier when there are so many great things about the town I sell real estate in! Just this year Auburn has been in the news and gotten the following acolades:
Number 6 best cities for small businesses and and careers according the Forbes
Top 10 best places to live in the United States according to U.S. News
Auburn High School ranked #2 city school in Alabama according to Newsweek
Number 1 golf city in the United States according to Golf Digest
Best Places to retire in the United States according to U.S. News
Auburn football ranked #1 in the BCS standings for week 9
Auburn’s Cameron Newton sits at the top of the Heisman Race
Sorry I had to throw those last 2 Auburn football polls in there 🙂
If you have never been here, you can get a good idea from reading those articles that Auburn is a great place. If you have spent any time here, you KNOW Auburn is a great place. And not just when our football team is winning either. War Eagle!
