Auburn Memories
My second favorite Auburn memory was when Dean Foy taught the freshman class how to properly perform the War Eagle yell. I was brand new to big campus life and very nervous around all those cute southern girls going through rush. But when we yelled War Eagle in unison in Foy Union, I became an Auburn Tiger instantaneously! Of course my most favorite memory was when I went on my first blind date as a college student with my lovely bride, Becky Canterbury Soutullo.
