I'm not much on moral victories, especially when 95% of the uncleaned mass' that are Alabama fans won't recognize this, but... If you're going to lose a game, I'd rather it be a hard fought game like THAT one. I HATE that we lost the game. Sucks. However, knowing our circumstances, it galvanized, for me anyway, that Auburn IS in fact, on an upswing, not the opposite. I was proud even still walking out of that stadium yesterday.
Call me crazy if you want. I'd still rather be an Auburn Tiger.
