What I wrote right before the ASU vs Aub game

War eagle? I can't exclaim how many times a person has asked me.... What is war eagle .... Is it two mascots, are ya'll War Eagles...is it a chant or what is it? To me war eagle is a moment, a god given moment forget about all the lengends of how we got the battle cry it's more than that to me... Its a moment in 1967 when  shug jordan was recruiting a talented quaterback who choice of school came down to Alabama and Auburn. Coach Jordan convinced this player to go with him to a ball game at legion field ...only to have his car break down on the way....on the walk towards the stadium a convoy passes by with sirens screaming and a detail security force and the player ask "who is that coach?" Coach Jordan said, "That's Coach Bryant and you can either ride with him or walk with me" from that MOMENT on Heisman trophy winner Pat Sullivan knew he would play for the Auburn! War Eagle is unexplainable MOMENTS that aren't very factual... it's an intangiable feeling...it's not I got a bigger stadium than you, it's a roar that shakes the ground you stand on and sings war eagle to you from a choir of 87,451...for you could put 200,000 in a stadium and it would not equal the feel of a chant being echoed as a beauitful golden eagle lands on a symbol iconic to auburn men and women. War Eagle is a great MOMENT in which a Pat Dye football team sat dejected after a lost to a much better Georgia team and as Coach Dye reached for words to say a roar from outside the locker room interupted him with yells that said "it's great to be an Auburn Tiger" I know of no better place I could wanna be...I know of no other team I would rather pull for, I know of no other saying I would rather believe, or of any other moment I would want to feel... As i stand on top of the scoreboard now and take on one of my last MOMENTS i would like to say,war eagle to you and yours, god bless you, god bless these united states, and god bless war eagle moments happening to evreyone in this stadium as this sentence ends!
