a Loooooong Time ago........

The attacks on the World Trade Centers happened two months before. The Concorde was still making trans-Atlantic flights. Enron had not yet filed for bankruptcy and Kenneth Lay was still working there.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

Milton Berle was still alive. So was George Harrison. The Euro was not the legal tender for the 12 European Union Members. Windows XP was only 1 month old. Nintendo Game Cube was released only two weeks earlier.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

The Baltimore Ravens were the reigning Super Bowl Champions. David Duval was the British Open Champion. Evander Holyfield was the WBA Heavyweight Champion.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

Saddam Hussein was still President of Iraq. Bill Clinton began the year as U.S. President, and George W. Bush was sworn in after the year began.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

Johnny Cash won the Best Country Male Vocalist Award for “Solitary Man” at the Grammys. The song of the year was U2’s “Beautiful Day” and the Grammy for the best rock song was “With Arms Wide Open” by Creed.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Kevin Millwood were pitchers for the Braves. Jeff Francoeur was a junior at Parkview High School and Brian McCann was a junior at Duluth High School.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

My oldest daughter, who graduated from Auburn University in May, was just a junior in High School. My son, who is in the 5th grade, was only in pre-school…not even kindergarten.

That’s how long it has been since Auburn has lost to Bama.

Fear the other hand.

War Eagle!
