We would like to let you know of the wonderful experience we had at Auburn this weekend.
We have a junior at Auburn and also a freshman at USC.
This weekend we arrived at Auburn expecting a wonderful reunion of our family (sons) and also we were, for the first time, meeting the parents of a special girl.
Our experience was the best!
We attempted to be impartial for the game, wearing USC shirts and Auburn shorts, earrings, hats and buttons!
At the end of the game, we had more than several gentlemen (and I do mean gentlemen students) from Auburn approach us at different intervals during our walk back to the AGR house to tell us the Gamecocks had put on a fight and wish us a safe trip home.
Little did they know that we also have the heart of and love for Auburn as parents of an Auburn student.
We want to congratulate you and your University on the sportsmanship and hospitality that was shown to us and, we are convinced, many other Gamecock fans: parents and students alike!
Please let your students know how much their kindness and gentle nature was appreciated!
