Please excuse the delay in counting down the days to kickoff. With the somber mood as we mourn the loss of the Brambletts, I did not feel it appropriate to continue to look forward to this fall. Besides, I couldn’t stomach writing anything Auburn-related the last few days. If you’ll allow me to speak from the heart, however, I’d just like to say that despite another dark day among several these last few months in the Auburn community, the outpouring of love and support for the Bramblett family and friends has been awe-inspiring. I never had the good fortune of meeting Rod or Paula aside from a quick War Eagle after a game in the student section, but the couple left their mark on Auburn, and it has shown.
