true blue- aka auburn vs. clemson

of course i went a bit overboard with signs since espn gameday would be in auburn for the clemson game.
even more so when both, Rick and Bubba and Kinnucan's, announced that they would give cash money to any idiots that had signs reading their names- of course you HAD to make it on espn gameday. naturally, i was all over it. i spent far too much time glittering that week. really, it was absurd. but i thought it would be worth it when i cam home with the cash prizes. i had enough signs for about 10 people and forced gathered those willing to hold a sign. we arrived at the espn stage at 7:15am. we were ready.
apparently, espn decided that they wouldn't allow you to "promote" businesses with signs anymore so this is where it got ugly. an espn guy came over immediately, took my rick and bubba sign, and broke it over his knee. WHAT?!?! i almost lost it. actually, i did lose it. i was livid. clearly he had no clue how long i spent on my signs. ruuuude! after attempting to confiscate about 3 more signs to no avail....we decided to boycott gameday all together and headed back to the tg. we proudly displayed all signs there.
such a disappointment as the signs were ausome.

creative kinnucan's sign. emailed the sign pic to them and got a $75 giftcard to their store. score.
rick and bubba sign. luckily i took a picture of this one before the big day as it was broken and deposited in a dumpster near the stadium. i actually was dumb enough to look in two separate dumpsters to see if it was "near the top". no luck and i admit, that was really unnecessary. but i couldn't drop it. i wrote to the r & b show and sent in the picture. they read my email on air and showed the picture of the sign on their website!! no cash prize but at least i felt as though my efforts were recognized. yeah!
 
 protect this house. they tried to get this one and the one below and this is when we took off running.
not a chance.

one of my favorites. thanks to blake for the idea,

 signs proudly displayed back at the tg. true blue (top left corner) fairley lethal, shake n' blake, tebow/cam, super mario, kinnucam's, and will the REAL tigers please stand up?!
yes, i really took numerous signs in the game. but it worked, WE WON. (barely)
section 28, row 6 after the win!!
celebratory group shot back at the tg after the game. wde.
