AUBURN, Ala. - Twelve years have passed but Ronnie Brown's memories of his final Auburn football game remain vivid.

"I remember when we got ready to walk out," said Brown, recalling the 2005 Sugar Bowl. "All the guys, we had the different colored shields and everybody was looking at their uniform. But when we hit the field, it felt just like it had all season."

That was bad news for Virginia Tech, Auburn's Sugar Bowl opponent. Auburn took a 12-0 record, an SEC Championship, and a chip on its shoulder to the Superdome at the end of the 2004 season.
