Game day munchies don't have to be an issue
(11/10/12 9:24am)
For students, six hours in the stadium sustained by nothing but a mustard-slathered soft pretzel leaves us with a raging post-game hunger. If we can make it past the concession stands without purchasing an armful of hot dogs, then our game day options usually revolve around scrounging up whatever food is left at the tailgate by the time we get there. Eating the misshapen carrots everyone else left on the vegetable plate is not your only option.There are plenty of restaurants around town offering fans a fresh new twist on old favorites like barbecue, burgers and fries. Game days in Auburn are marked by tradition, but don’t let yourself get stuck in a dining rut by eating the same meal every time.Amsterdam Cafe’s crab cake sandwichThe crab cake sandwich at Amsterdam Cafe, located on South Gay Street, is a delectable twist on the typical fare of game day. Instead of a charred burger, sink your teeth into one of the “top 100 dishes to eat in Alabama before you die.”The crab cake avocado sandwich is served on a flaky toasted croissant with creole remoulade and mango pico de gallo. The subtle blend of flavors in this tasty sandwich makes for a dish you can savor instead of just inhale in a fit of hunger. Get it with a side of sweet potato chips.Big Blue Bagel’s tiger meltAnother one of the “100 dishes to eat in Alabama before you die,” Big Blue, located on College Street, offers a Tiger Melt consisting of Colby Jack generously melting over its famous chicken salad and served atop two bagel faces of your choice. Play it safe and go with the multigrain bagel or mix it up with cinnamon or blueberry.The melt comes with a side of bagel chips, which are bagels of different flavors toasted and sliced into bite-sized pieces. A side of the honey mustard makes the perfect dipping sauce.Tex’s Tacos’ barbecue tacoPutting a Tex-Mex twist on Southern cooking, our favorite campus food truck offers a barbecue taco.The taco combines a flour tortilla with vinegar-basted pulled pork barbecue, honeylime garden slaw and barbecue sauce. Since the taco truck is parked right outside the stadium, you’ll have to endure the shortest amount of time between you and satiating your roaring appetite.Top off your barbecue taco with a round of lime fries, a Tex’s Tacos specialty that somehow manages to whip up a deep fried dish that tastes like a funnel cake-french fry hybrid.Look out for the taco truck parked on campus.Panera Bread’s turkey cranberry paniniWith Thanksgiving just around the bend, you might be looking for something a little more festive than the tried-and-true beef burgers you eat at every game.Panera, located on Opelika Road, is offering a seasonal sandwich this fall that combines the flavors of the season into a delectable panini. The sandwich features roasted turkey slices on fresh-baked ciabatta bread, cranberry chutney and fresh spinach. The unlikely pairing is reminiscent of a Thanksgiving meal and a great alternative to post-game grub.The panini is served with a side, but for another fall treat, try the chicken stew that comes topped with a cheese biscuit.

An open letter to Spirit the Bald Eagle
(11/03/12 9:42am)
Look, buddy. It's been a rough couple of games for all of us. Particularly for you, after the dizzying flighting path you took on your way down to the field at last week's game against Texas A&M. Instead of soaring around the stadium and touching down triumphantly on the 50-yard line, you took a seemingly random stroll about the stands. Just scoping things out, guys! Don't mind me up here!

Tropical Storm Isaac expected to bring heavy rain, severe storms (UPDATED 5:51 p.m.)
(08/27/12 12:14am)
According to the latest reports from the National Weather Service (NWS), National Hurricane Center (NHC) and The Press-Register, Auburn may experience heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms due to Tropical Storm Isaac making landfall sometime this week.The NHC has placed coastal Alabama and Mississippi under hurricane warnings, with hurricane conditions within the area expected in the next 24 hours.In Alabama the Red Cross has mobilized workers throughout the state to set up 25 shelters, 20 emergency response vehicles, prepare for bulk distribution of water, clean-up supplies and insect repellent, mobilized 10 kitchens across the state to provide emergency food and sent out preparedness messages to communities.The storm surge within these areas is expected to be 6 to 12 feet in the warning area and 4 to 7 feet in the remainder of the Florida panhandle and Apalachee Bay.The University released a statement on Saturday, Aug. 25 urging students to prepare for the upcoming storm by assembling an emergency kit, having a definite plan of action to protect personal safety and property, monitoring weather information using official sources such as the NWS and NHC, signing up for AU Alert and letting emergency contacts know that there may be an inclement weather situation.The University currently does not anticipate any disruptions to classes or campus operations.The National Hurricane Center issued a statement earlier today that urged for preparations to protect life and property to be rushed to completion.However, the latest forecast map shows the storm moving more to the west than previously anticipated, possibly making landfall near the border between Mississippi and Louisiana.Maps from Weather Underground and the NWS continue to indicate Isaac will make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane.The NHC lists a Category 2 hurricane as one in which "extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage."Category 2 hurricanes have sustained winds of 96-110 mph and commonly uproot shallow-rooted trees, cause roof and siding damage to houses and near-total power loss that could last anywhere from several days to weeks and block multiple roads.
