What was so fun about that one is pretty much everybody knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time. All day tailgating and pretty much everyone was ready for it. So, when the rain finally unleashed, basically everyone was already wanting it to happen. It was a wild experience.

I found myself in the last picture.

And of course, I was caught with some kind of awkward/dumbass look on my face.

Oh well, that was one of the most fun football games I've ever attended.

Who remembers the hummer limos Chizik and company got and starting up Big Cat Weekend

We had some sick arse website around the time too with some rap song made for Auburn. It’s all so long stop now I don’t remember the specifics.

T-Will did two songs for Auburn.

He did Tiger Walk for the 2009 season and then did Undefeated after the 2010 season.


They are for sure cheesy and what not, but they aren't awful songs.

This will always be one of my favorite games of all time. I watched from the TV, but the energy from the attending fans was felt and will be an indelible moment in Auburn history.

The tunnel? I didn't even leave my seat

At one point I looked up to the upper deck and there were WVU fans up there letting their cups fill with rain water and dumping it on our part of the student section. You couldn't even tell though because the rain was already so thick, hillbilly idiots

Very memorable game. I never even considered leaving. I honestly believe the students and fans yelling and cheering during the delay was what inspired the comeback win. I remember numerous WV fans commented on how pretty Auburn girls were.

Na bruh, they made the upper deck go in the tunnels at one point. And some glorious bastard had somehow smuggled a handle of Jack in, and was just filling up cups. 18 year old Waffles was pretty happy about that

Yeah it was amazing. I don't know why we stayed(was with future wife). The thought of leaving didn't even cross my mind. The beatdown also felt good.

A dark and unspoken secret from the rain game is how many people peed on themselves because it was practically a swimming pool anyway and the lines were crammed in the concourses

The Pics I took at the game just popped up on my Facebook feed. One of the few times i had seats so high in the stadium that I shared my concession food with Jesus. Ha! I swear i saw the rain coming from two states away.

My wife and child couldn't take all the rain and left. I found my normal game day crew in their lower seats opposite side of the stadium. Then we commenced to whip dat WV azz!

This was my final year as a student (and member of the AUMB). We remained dry underneath the stadium, but didn’t do pregame or halftime to help preserve the field.

This was the first game I noticed Nick Fairley. Noel Devine broke a long touchdown, and Nick was chasing him the whole time. I thought, damn that big dude is quick. Not quick enough to catch Devine, but he was trucking for a 300 lber

I remember standing on the southwest ramp and calling the man and putting $5000 on Auburn -2 1/2 the 2nd half. Monday I get a call informing me that my limit was $1000 for 2nd half lines and that the bet shouldn’t have been booked. I agreed to the $1k win and took my winnings and didn’t bitch too much.

The next week Tebow was supposed to had been out with a concussion so I loaded up on whoever they played, I think it was Kentucky. Tebow played and I got slaughtered. I think I was a loser on 15 of of 16 bets that Saturday. I stiffed the man for about 4K that week and had got threatening voice messages for close to two years.
