Title: BCS Championship Celebration.....
Post by: The Prowler on January 22, 2011, 04:04:14 PM
There were about 65-75k Strong in the Stadium (about 48 degrees without the wind).  Here's a few quotes.

"We're going to keep this one for a long time." - Jay Jacobs

"War DAMN Eagle!!!" - Gene Chizik (get ready to hear the mediots focus on Coach Chizik saying Damn)

"All of these trophies are nice and all, but trophies fade, the Auburn Family lasts forever." - Lee Ziemba

"Lemme do one thing before I begin my speech (Cam does the Heisman pose)" - Cam Newton


Here's a picture taken at about 12:30, people were still making their way in.

That was about what I expected.  Read somewhere they were figuring on 40-50k max.   No way.  I was thinking it would be 70-80+.   

Jacobs?  Not an emcee.  Should have given that role off to somebody with a little polish and pace.  He wasn't awful, but jeez.  He's got to know that public speaking is last on his list of positive qualities.

I haven't heard him a lot...but I heard him speak at the Hiesman lunch and thought he did good. Did he not do a good job today??

“People ask me all of the time, ‘Why did you come to Auburn?’ I came to Auburn for two reasons. Number one, because of this awesome Auburn Family, and number two to win a national championship so I accomplished both of those.” - Kodi Burns

“It's the best of times and the worst of times. “It’s the worst of times because this is the last time this group of guys will be collected together again, but it is the best of times because you couldn’t come together for anything better than this celebration.” - Coach Chizik

“It’s not kinda, sort of, almost...you are the best fans in the United States of America and you have helped us and been a huge part of being the best football team in the United States of America. War Damn Eagle.” - Coach Chizik

He wasn't that bad.  He just rushed through some things I wish he'd taken more time with.

If you watch the link provided above, you'll notice that during the player intro the crowd noise is muted b/w each player announced (of which I'll admit aggravated me). Here is a video where the sound is not muted.

Had a great time today. Hit Tiger Walk afterward and my boy fist bumped the Cam. Loved it....one gripe....WTF was up with doing the sound that way. If you were upper deck....we were...you couldn't understand 1 word said.  Just run it through the normal stadium P.A.  Hoy shit.
