Nifty Thrifty Tuesday No.190

Gotta a second? Today, I still have a football hangover from all the celebrating that I did Saturday at Jordan-Hare! Oh yes...I was at the mother of all Iron Bowls Saturday. Most of you know that I am a huge Auburn Tiger fan and attend a lot of games, and I can say that this was the best ever. Just two short weeks ago, I was there to see the MIRACLE at Jordan-Hare and I thought that nothing could beat that awesome play. Then here comes the Iron Bowl and both teams have so much on the line, we are tied 28-28 and about to go into overtime, but wait...Nick (Saban) wanted a second put back on the clock...so his team could kick a field goal and beat us...then wait a second...we will put our kick returner back there in the end zone...the kick is short...our Chris Davis catches the ball and returns it 109 yards for a touchdown and AUBURN beats Alabama with Nick's second!!!! I was screaming so loud...laughing up a storm...dancing like crazy...hugging Mr.CC...crying like a baby...all at the same time! I have never cried at a football game before, but when Sammie scored the touchdown to tie the game up, the tears started rolling and I had a hard time stopping them. Then, Chris makes the play of all plays in college football, and the tears started again. My head was pounding, my heart beating so fast, the emotions were just unreal. I had just witness the BEST IRON BOWL ever...oh my!!! Now, I do want to say this, if you are an Alabama fan, please know that I hope you don't get offended with my post. The game was close, but teams worked really hard to get the "W", but only one could be the winner at the end. The sports world is saying that the outcome of this game, has gone to the top of all college football games, so with that said, I just had to post about my AWESOME time at Jordan-Hare...WAR EAGLE!! Features from last weeks party will be posted on my facebook page this week, so please be sure to check there for them.
                                             Blessings,

                        The outcome! We are now the SEC West
                        Champions and we will play Missouri this
                        Saturday for the SEC title. This should be
                        another fun game to watch, because we are
                                      both really good teams.

                    The AUBURN FAMILY never storms the field
                    after a victory, but as our announcer said after
                    the one second touchdown, nothing was going
                    to keep us off of it after this victory and he was
                                             so right!

                        The scene from our seats...oh my!!!

                      The picture came out blurry, but I still love it.
                      It was hard to take good pictures with all the
                                            excitement.

                        Look who we found at Toomer's...my baby TIGER!

                                     Our 2013 Christmas card.

                     Having a fun time rolling Toomer's Corner with my
                     favorite TIGER. As you can see, all my make-up is
                     gone, my hair is a mess, but I am still celebrating our
                                                BIG WIN!!!!!

                               I think every tree in the area got rolled.

                          We are so happy that Mary Claire came with
                           us to Auburn (she watched the game with some
                           friends at their condo).

                 We do miss our Toomer's trees (three years ago a Alabama
                 fan poisoned them after we won that Iron Bowl). We all
                 knew that it wouldn't stop us from our tradition of rolling
                         Toomer's Corner after a win and it hasn't.

                          Here is what Toomer's Corner looked liked
                                         Sunday morning.

                         Thanks for coming to NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY
                          today and letting me share this AWESOME WIN
                                                with  all of you.
