So as some of you may or may not know, I have a little brother named Daniel. Only he's not so little anymore, he's actually taller than me now. Haha. Anyway, he's a great guy with a big heart and lots of school spirit for Auburn University, where he is currently finishing up his freshmen year. So it only makes sense that he would try out for cheerleading right? Well last night the whole family went down to support him as they had call-outs and announced the squad. We were all hoping he would making it but really were expecting anything. He applied specifically for the "Microphone Man" (more commonly called the "Mic Man") position, which is really important. Basically he goes out to the 50 yard line before the football games, with a microphone connected to the loudspeakers, and in front of 87,000 fans, leads the whole stadium in cheers and chants. It's a pretty intimidating job, yet my brother was up for the challenge of auditioning for it and giving it a chance. Well, last night 9:00 rolled around and they started the call-outs. The first person they named was the Mic Man for the 2008/09 football season: Daniel Friday! My brother made it, and next year he'll be center field for all the home games keeping the crowd alive and on fire! War Eagle! We're so proud of him, and I just wanted to share here on my blog what a great guy my little brother is and how cool it will be to hear his voice leading the Tiger fans in a great big WAR EAGLE!!!
