Remembering Philip Lutzenkirchen

It's been a year since we all awoke on a peaceful Sunday morning to the news that former Auburn tight-end Philip Lutzenkirchen was killed in a car wreck. I remember opening up Twitter and thinking at first that there must be some mistake or it must be some sick joke.

I was all of three days in to my time in charge of College and Magnolia. The thought that I would need to write a story about a beloved Auburn figure's death never really crossed my mind when I took over, but I definitely didn't think there would be the death of someone so recently on the team.
