Auburn High School fans were great at the Dome

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 11:04 AM EST

When I saw the letter from the Monroe-Woodbury parent regarding our fans' poor sportsmanship at the Dome, I shrugged it off to sour grapes. When I saw the letter from the Auburn person agreeing with her, I wondered if she had been at the same game I was.
Let me just say that to have such a large group representing our city handle themselves in such an outstanding manner was truly a joy to see.

The students likewise presented themselves as a fine example of Auburn's best.

There wasn't a problem before, during or after the game that I was aware of.

Sure there was a little good natured razzing when the other team came out, but to call it bad sportsmanship is hard to understand. Our fans were great all day long.

I think it was one of the great moments in not only Auburn sports history, but in its history overall and I think the incredible number of fans that showed up did Auburn proud!

Leaving that game, my overwhelming feeling was how memorable it would always be to know I got to witness an example of our community spirit at its very best.

" I was there a couple hours before the game . I walked the parking lots where students and kids were. Not one sign of some big drinking party. Inside the kids and adults were great also. Someone signed on with a fake name and said He/She was in the dome and the drinking was, " appalling," Proof positive you were not there is one little New York State High School Athletics rule. NO consumption or sales of alcoholic beverages. "

" I completely agree. I did not see, or hear about, one single incident of anyone, student or adult, behaving in a way that was less that fine. "
