The season ends with a whimper. The team didn’t want to be there, and neither did the fans — even the ones that showed up to the game. It was pretty apparent from the minute I entered the gates which side was more grateful to be in the building that day.
And frankly, I can’t blame Auburn fans. This was a season that could have and should have ended, at the very least, in Pasadena. But it didn’t, and instead Auburn fans had to witness the nightmare of New Year’s Day 2018 — the worst day of football outcomes in my lifetime, rivaled only by December 2, 2017.
