How is nobody talking about the absolute scene that was our tailgate during the dead period last summer? I swear the national media acts like Auburn goes quiet the second the season ends. They have no clue what happens in those parking lots on random Saturday afternoons in May when there isnt a single game on the schedule. We had the whole crew out there, three generations deep, cooking up enough sausage and chicken to feed the entire defensive line. Somebody dragged out an old projector and we watched the 2013 Iron Bowl on a bedsheet. A kid from the incoming freshman class just wandered over with his dad and we handed him a plate and. That is what they miss when they grade our offseason on paper. You cannot quantify what it means to build that kind of connection in the summer when nobody is watching. The culture gets built on those random afternoons, not on signing day.
