Auburn vs. Alabama 1972score: Auburn 17, Alabama 16
Punt Bama Punt! One of the most famous games ever played. You can read about this game on Wikipedia...ESPN lists this game as one of the top 100 games.
Once again, Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting Tablescape Thursday...Thanks so much for giving us a place to share ideas!

It's that time again... SEC FOOTBALL is back! It's time to plan fabulous tailgate menus and head to the nearest stadium or television. College football is back!!!
At my house, that means getting out all the Auburn memorabilia; the football blanket, the helmets, and the pom poms, and get ready to feed a crowd. All the sons and their friends love to watch Auburn Football with my AU football fanatic Hubby. (I think he bleeds burnt orange and navy blue!) For those who have to work during the game, texting scores and big plays will definitely take place. Living so far from Auburn (Alabama), we only get there 2-3 times a season for games...thankfully college roommate still lives in town and is gracious enough to allow us to visit. (I will share tailgating with this group later in the season.) WAR EAGLE!
There's no doubt that Auburn fans live in this house! On the table you will find pom poms saved from games- gone- by. There's a bobble head doll, ticket stubs, a football classic book, autographed footballs, tigers, a tiger tail, and even condiments. On the side table you will find plates and cups ready for piling on the food. Yes...we do it up BIG at our house. 
This hat was the first baby gift our first son received. He went to Auburn.
Footballs autographed by the team and by Coach Tommy Tuberville- usually they are proudly displayed on his office shelf.
This week's buffet-style tailgate menu:
Starters - Buffalo Wing Dip with corn chips (we like Dorito's Scoops)
Fresh Fruit
Celery Sticks and Carrot Sticks
Barbequed Pork Sandwiches with
"Grandaddy's secret sauce"
Bakery Sandwich Buns
Baked Beans
7 Layer Salad
Southern Praline Pecan Cake
ps: Hurley and Rowdy are already getting excited about football....notice their attire! And when we find where Hurley has hidden her AU t-shirt, she'll have that on, too!

Hope that the team your doggies root for wins! That should keep their tails wagging!
Nice collection of AU memorabilia! I'm originally from Alabama (Huntsville) and have many friends and family who are AU fans, also UA fans! LOL! (I've been in FL 43 years now.) Both my daughters graduated from FSU, so you know who I vote for!
Neat tablescape!

Go Auburn!
It is exciting....but you are WRONG--the Tiger stands for Clemson....YUP ...CLEMSON!! YOU gotta get that right! lol We are in a family where some of my kids went to Clemson and One is still at USC (south carolina not cal). So the rivalry is preeeety awesome. Great stuff on your table (but please remember Tigers=Clemson) ahhhh

hmmm? Are there any Auburn fans around your place or what?
(Oh goodness! I had two drawings for one family...one Auburn logo and the other the alabama logo! A pretty even split in their home! I cannot imagine the ruckus at their place! haha)
Blessings & Aloha!
What a fun and festive theme! Your menu sounds delicious too!
Well it certainly looks like you are ready for football season! Love all of your memorabilia, makes for great tablescapes :)
Yep... it's football time again... yummy food while watching the games.. nothing better... ENJOY!
What a great fun setting! I thought Alburn was Alamba, Gators were for Florida! I love seeing the college campus in Gainesville,Florida. I worked down there many a time.
Isn't the Corner Cafe the greatest. Its my New Favorite Place!
Thanks for the idea for one of my next tablescapes.....War Eagle. We have autographed footballs from last year....we went to Fan Day 08. Thanks for stopping by. You are soooo lucky to live at the beach....lucky DOG!!!!!
