Gearing up
AUBURN - It's a routine gesture, a way to get the program excited and the season officially started, but this year, the standing ovation was more than warranted.
Over 90 hopeful Auburn football players went from casually milling around and setting up for the first day of football camp on Monday, to forming a dozen straight lines that would make any military unit proud. Then, as Dave Moskov and the rest of the Auburn coaches strolled down the cement path behind Holland Stadium, the clapping started and didn't stop for several minutes.
“They always clap when we come down - just to get things started,” Moskov said. “The kids are excited to get going. They know it's tough, but it's always a mindset around here. You focus on yourself, you challenge yourself and there is something positive that can happen with young people when they push themselves like this. It's tough, but they also know in two weeks, we're going to be a lot better.”
