I'm 21. First play I really remember was the Hobnail Boot in 2001(10 years old). Have pretty solid memories from 2002 on.

1997 was when I had vested interest. Then in 2004 I started with the stats and facts and what not.

I grew up in Auburn - my mom and both her parents worked for the university - so Auburn football was a part of my life from birth.

2005 was the beginning of my obsession, though. My dad took me to the UGA game that year in Athens. Cox to Aromashodu on 4th down to set up the game winning field goal

I watched just about every game from then until my junior year of high school, but it was after the "Rain Game" against WVU I told myself I was going to be in the stadium for every single game I could to make sure I didn't miss anything like that again.

My mom gets 6-8 season tickets a year, but before that I was content watching them on the couch.

Now, I'm in the marching band and don't have a choice but to go to every game

I grew up about 30 miles from Lexington, and have been a UK fan since I was about 8 years old. No one in my family liked sports at all, including my dad and older brother, so it took me a while to get there.

About to turn 12, in 1980 when my brother turned me on to this freshman phenom named Herschel Walker. I was hooked on football ever since. I asked my brother who was our school in Louisiana and did we have our own Herschel Walker.

I've been searching for him ever since.

Thought I found him in Cecil Collins but he fricked up that dream. Keeping fingers crossed that Leonard Fournette could possibly rule the SEC for the Tigers the way Herschel did, but his recruitment is not a given, much less achieving legendary SEC status.

I always watched games with my parents when I was a kid but I started becoming a true fan around Brodie's first year starting and started to follow recruiting the year we signed Andre Smith.

I'm 21 fwiw
