Auburn fans disobeying The Man......

About 40 minutes before game time Saturday between Auburn and West Virginia, an Old Testament-style deluge prompted the public address announcer at Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium to advise those in attendance to vacate the seating area.

Not a soul in the Auburn student section moved an inch.

Non one. Not even the frat boys, who high-fived and chest-bumped in their navy blazers and burnt orange ties with the best of them.

And then, for two and a half minutes and three chords, it was pure euphoria, to the tune of Creedance Clearwater Revival’s 1971 hit.

It didn’t matter that there was a big, bad, jet-black cloud and a severe weather advisory in the area. It didn’t matter that Auburn was about to face its toughest test of the season.

Quote
Just like those storm clouds dumped about a million gallons of rainwater all over Pat Dye Field, so did those Auburn fans let out about a year’s worth of frustrations over their football team.

It was fast, it was intense, it was transformative and everybody came out clean on the other side.

In other words, it was almost like a spiritual experience. Almost like all those orange and blue ponchos were baptism robes — and Chizik was some country preacher spreading the good news of Auburn football.

The good folks from West Virginia must have wondered what kind of crazy, fanatical, severe-weather-ignoring lunatics they have down on the plains.

They found out. And soon enough, so will everyone else:

The passion is back on the plains.

And all it took was a little rain, a bit of CCR and a few thousand rain-soaked lunatics.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
