My favorite ever Auburn team, and I think this team is the best team we've ever had.
Really good documentary. Loved that year. Always worth a second watch too.
Also, when these older teams sang the Auburn fight song in the locker room after wins, they all know the words and sing. Love that. Now, not even half the team or the coaches know the damn song.

I love the book Hard Fighting Soldier by Chette Williams. He is a real inspiration.

Well we haven't won enough in the past few years for them to learn it so...
But yes the 2004 team was one of the best. The 2010 team may be my fav by the slimmest margin only because of the amount of adversity they faced and still won it all.

I'm 51. We had 3 Top 10 picks on offense and we had the best defense in the country that year.
Don't see how you can top that.

You picked a good team and year.
I have an advantage…….My Granddad recruited from 1951 to 1959.
Seems there was a Natty in there. Little biased here.

My cool story bro:
Went to school/played with Brodie Croyle. CW would come workout with us and run routes with Brodie. I didn’t really understand the significance of it all until ESPN showed up for Brodies announcement. I will say, CW was definitely being pulled to Bama and it was thought he’d end up there with Brodie.

I think the 2004 team is better than the 2010 team. And there's a Natty in there as well..

I was going through some old VHS tapes at our lake house over 4th of July weekend and found my copy of this. Cool to see it on YouTube.
