But for those of you who thought it was a fluke, that it was simply good scheduling early that got the Tigers off to a spectacular start, Saturday was more proof that it is to be believed. We'll live with what people say. Yes, it's Auburn. It's not Duke or Kentucky you're writing about. We've done it.
Nobody can take it away.
This special season couldn't have come at a better time on the plains. Coming off a tragic soap opera of a football season, Auburn fans needed something to feel good about. And they had all of that Charmin left from a 3-8 football disaster. It really has been something to rally around. Suddenly, everyone in the village knows about Auburn basketball, at least more than the legacy of Charles Barkley and Chuck Person.
