He came here from Korea in 2nd grade and started watching Auburn football with me. Became a big fan of all things Auburn. He applied to several schools, but Auburn and Purdue were the top rated flight schools. He loves all things Auburn so it was an easy decision.

His father died of diabetes long ago, so I became more like a father than an uncle. I was the Auburn influence, but my daughter's husband who was a Top Gun Marine fighter pilot got him interested in flying.

I'm sure he will do well.

God bless you for stepping in and being a strong and dependable male influence in this young man’s life when he needed it. We need more of that. Shoot, I know I wish I had that growing up.

Hope you guys get to watch many, many more AU games together!

We didn't miss a game even during the Harsin years, painful as that was. Thank goodness for Bruce Pearl.

Congrats to you and your nephew. I would be remiss if I did not ask his 40 time.

We did the tour a couple of years ago and it's a great program. It's kind of like the Delta Flight School.

He got into a few other programs, but their airline affiliations were weak. It came down to Auburn or Purdue.

It's a long trip from NY to Auburn.

Funny thing happened a couple of days ago. My wife and I were eating at Korean hand made noodle place and an older Korean guy walks in wearing a shirt with an Auburn logo. I said "War Eagle," but drew a blank stare.

My wife explained it to him in Korean and he said his daughter made it for him, but she had no Auburn affiliation either. She just liked the logo.
