What creates a championship team? Spirit, determination, and a legacy that refuses to die. Game of My Life Auburn Tigers is a collection of the greatest Tigers moments from past and present as seen through the eyes of the players themselves. In this vivid collection of sports moments, Mark Murphy has brought together passionate Auburn football players to share their fondest experiences and memories. Some of these games involve championships, including this years heart stopping BCS Championship Game victory over Oregon, while others seem ordinary save for extraordinary personal meaning. In each case, it is the player who singles out the game, the moment in time that to him is the most defining of his Auburn Tigers football career.
Each player has his own unique story, but together they weave a tapestry of Auburns legendary history. Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan, along with many of the great names in Auburn history, such as All-Americans Jackie Burkett, Jimmy Red Phillips, Buddy McClinton, Ken Rice, Steve Wallace, Gregg Carr, Ed Dyas, Cadillac Williams, and fan favorites such as Lionel Little Train James and Joe Cribbs, are profiled in this unique book. It takes readers down memory lane, while also providing an in-depth look into at men and games that helped shape and build the Auburn football tradition and heritage.
