Jonna Chizik will see you at this pole, Auburn fans

 With Auburn’s big, potentially season-salvaging, match-up with Ole Miss this weekend, it seems that the Tigers, and more specifically the wife of head coach Gene Chizik, isn’t leaving anything to chance.  In what is certain to a bout of spiritual warfare against one of the SEC’s more ardent of Protestants, Ole miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze, Jonna Chizik, took to Facebook, as is standard operating procedure for middle aged ladies in this an election year, and is rallying the Auburn troops an Christian soldiers alike in this matter of (eternal) life and death. 

This is the response I gave to one of our fans, Brandi Efferson, on facebook today.

Maybe one of you will feel led to take this on….

“I have given quite a lot of prayerful consideration to your desire to help and make a difference this season and I do have a thought. As you know,

Social media can be a very powerful tool.

Recent examples of its power can be cited by googling

how it played a primary role in the Occupy Wall Street protests, the uprising in Egypt, the Konya 2012 movement, and the various flash mobs that randomly occur all over the world to name just a few examples.

Therefore, my humble suggestion is to create a VERY POWERFUL “ALL IN”

movement of your own.

We have fans all over the US and I think it is time that they RISE UP and snatch back what satan, himself, has stolen.

We serve a God who recovers ALL that “has been stolen” from us and there are times that He requires the efforts of His people to accomplish this truth.

Just think about the effect it will have first for the players and their families who sacrifice daily but how it will impact the fan base as a whole.

During the season of 2010 the fans came together each Friday afternoon to send our boys off with a reverse tiger walk and the effect of just that alone was palpable enough that it carried over onto the field each and every Saturday.

I encourage you to think outside the box and create something that will show the rest of the world WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO and why when we refer to ourselves as FAMILY that we mean it.

I look forward to see what you come up with.
Blessings, Jonna Chizik
P.S. feel free to share all of this as you feel led!

And more:

To clarify my original post about utilizing social media to come together as a fan base in support of what Auburn stands for…when I refered to what satan has stolen from us as a whole I NEVER meant or even vaugely was refering to wins and/or losses on a football field. To be clear, I honestly believe that God doesn’t care who wins a football game but I do know that we serve a GOD big enough to do as He pleases.
So for those who have misunderstood my humble attempt to get the best fan base in America to rally around a group of 17-22 year old young boys and for those that have misrepresented my words or my intent to unite the Auburn Family please forgive me for offending you with the integrity of my heart.

It’s assumed, that at some point, later today, Mrs. Chizik will then recommend that Auburn fans donate to their favorite religious charity or church of their choosing…preferably one in urban Atlanta…since that worked so well last time.
