Best Fans in the SEC? Yep, I think so.
After reading this quote on many of friends facebook accounts, I had to post.
“When we heard of the Auburn fans chanting at the end of Fridays game “its great to be an auburn tiger” we knew there was something special about the excitement around this football team. The tigers have everything we are looking for in a New Year’s Day team. They are a tough, exciting team, extremely well coached and have what might be the best fans in college football”
Jim McVay, Outback Bowl President/CEO
Let me say that there is no source just yet, but the RUMOR is that came from an e-mail sent out to AU employees.
We are not in the business of gossip, but whether Jim McVay said it or not- we are the best fans in the SEC.
Health Reform Bill Moves Forward, 60-39 Vote in the Senate
Saturday Night's vote pushing the Health Reform Bill toward approval resulted in a majority vote from Democrats 60-39 in the Senate.
Although the 2,074 page Bill is moving forward on Capitol Hill, Democrat's expect to face many hurdles to come in the race for Health Reform.
While adversaries of the Bill claim the efforts for government regulated Health Care throughout the nation seem unrealistic and will do more harm than good, those in favor of health reform believe U.S citizens should be advocated for and given equal opportunity to receive quality health care.
While the amending process continues, other concerns expected to reach the Senate floor in the form of Amendments to the Bill focus on abortion and illegal immigration.
Drinking Local
Over the holiday break, I wanted to try and eat local but then I thought- can I drink local? The answer was definitively YES!
Here is my adventure on a vineyard and winery a short drive from my house!

Auburn's Bowl Game Down Under?
We aren't headed down-under, but we may just be headed to the Outback. WVLT in Knoxville and CBS42 in Birmingham report the Outback Bowl selected Auburn, and it looks like we will be taking on Wisconsin on January 1st in Tampa, Florida.
If the unofficial announcement proves true, the top five SEC bowl slots have been determined:
BCSC: Alabama/Florida
BCS: Alabama/Florida
Capital One: LSU
Cotton: Ole Miss
Outback: Auburn
The SEC bowl selections will not be official until December 6th, after the SEC Championship Game. But, there is a reason why out of the SIX teams with 7-5 records Outback chose Auburn. Auburn fans are loyal and loyalty means filled seats and purchased tickets.
Happy Thanksgiving
From all of us at Eagle Eye TV, we hope you have a fun and safe Thanksgiving break. Our next Live show will be Wednesday, December 2, at 7 p.m. Central.
