Hey Auburn fans! By this point in the summer, I’m sure you all have your Lindy’s, or your Athlon, or have been reading Bill Connelly’s excellent preview series, or have listened to probably too much sports radio. You know which teams should be good, which should be bad, who your sleeper picks are, and what Auburn’s path is to an undefeated season and how Daniel Carlson can win the Heisman.
But college football is a personal experience. Sure, there’s a bigger national narrative for every season, but the memories we carry with us are the ones where we’re personally invested in what’s going on.
