David Baucom served his nation for 34 years as a supply corps officer and was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. David Baucom’s favorite college football team is the Auburn Tigers.
Even the Tigers lost their last two games; the 2016-2017 season was still successful. They finished the season with an 8-5 record and were ranked 24th in the country by the Associated Press. As usual, they had a difficult schedule in the ever-competitive SEC, and they had to play their first game against the eventual national champions, the Clemson Tigers. Unfortunately for the Tigers, their fourth quarter comeback came up short, and they lost by six points. After notching impressive wins against LSU and Arkansas, the Tigers reached the Iron Bowl to face their arch rival with an 8-3 record. However, Nick Saban brought another undefeated team to the showdown, hungry for yet another national championship, and the Tigers lost the lopsided game. Nevertheless, the Tigers ranked 17th and were invited to the Sugar Bowl to play the Big 12 champion, and 7th ranked Oklahoma Sooners. Tragically, Auburn’s quarterback, Sean White, broke his arm on the opening drive of the game, and the Tigers could mount little offense afterward. The Tigers lost the game by a score of 35-19.
