Thanks. it has been a miracle season. I don't think it has sunk in that we are going to Glendale in 31 days to play for the National Title. Not the norm for us Aubies. Especially living in a state where Saban is a god and the University of Alabama may as well be his church.

After being snubbed in 2004, we thought our chances may be over for quite a while.

I'm hoping for a blowout, but I'm sure it will be a good game. Oregon has not seen anyone like Fairly or Cam and I don't think we've seen anything like Oregon. Perfect matchup.
I own $50 of the ticket. It is an uneven split between myself and my buddy.

Last summer, He was in Vegas playing poker and started shopping the best line for Auburn to win the NC. We had no inside sources, he is not Charles Barkley, etc... Just taking a shot on our team. I'm a 2 dollar player, he plays dimes.

The Hilton was the only place to give us 100-1, most others had 75-1. We tried to bet a dime, which had to be passed by the sportsbook manager. He declined and they would only let us take $300. So, we had 12-1 to win SEC and 100-1 to win BCS.

Last weekend was when we would have done a heavy hedge (south carolina money line was nice). Instead, we let it roll. Now, we are going to let most of it ride in the NC game. Maybe a few dimes on Oregon with a chance to middle. Or the money line if Auburn is favored by enough to push it up. Not sure yet. Since I only have $5K at risk. I highly doubt that I'll hedge more than $1K.

We are both Auburn Alum and are going to the game. Then, to Vegas the day after if we win. This ticket will at least pay for some of our trips. I've attended Clemson, LSU, Iron Bowl, SEC Champ and now Glendale. I'm easily $10K into tickets and hotels.

War Damn Eagle.

BTW, they did a special on this on the local Birmingham news.
