... with the old, and in with the new. It’s a phrase that I don’t necessarily like, due to my hesitance when it comes to change.

As an avid Auburn football fan, it’s been a rough year full of changes. From a disappointing season on the field to the exit of what I consider one of the school’s best football coaches, the real fans have shown themselves in the aftermath of 2008.

I’m encouraged by the presence of true fans here in Auburn and around the country. While there are a lot of unknowns as the 2009 season approaches, I believe there are also reasons for optimism on the Plains.
