Umm since that NFL broadcaster tweeted me I seem to have picked up a lot more followers. Just a reminder I’m not THE Dee Ford. I mean, I am the Dee Ford but not that Dee Ford. Just this Dee Ford. The one who is onside. Usually. Continue. As you were. 👀
So, this is it. Waiting for my transfer to JFK. Will be slotting back into my normal life as a boring surveyor in hours. Auburn I’ve loved every second. Thank you so so much. War Eagle.

Can’t wait to ✈️ from 🇬🇧 to 🇺🇸 next week to watch

in person!
Until then, a

My drunk as a skunk arse is off to bed to nurse my impending hangover... celebrate loud and long my dear friends and take and send me photos of EVERYTHING. I miss you all... I’m so proud of the lads I wish I was there with you all. War Damn Eagle!!
I’ve read all the articles. I’m not sure I’ll watch the game. I’m sad. But, ultimately I couldn’t be prouder of
@AuburnMBB
. They made history. They showed the meaning of a Team. They converted me to a fan. They’re

I’m six hours ahead of you so it’s 4th July already here. That gives you all so much longer to express how grateful you are that I’ve brought a little bit of England back and haven’t asked you to sign a treaty to bind you to it. Happy birthday America.
On 26 January 2013, a bloke named
@IamDeeFord
got declared MVP in the Senior Bowl. Nothing has been the same since thanks to
@JayJacobs89
. Thankful for everyone of those friends I’ve made and met since that day. War Eagle!
So, now I’m fully awake, War Eagle .
@CoachHarsin
let me introduce myself. There was once an AUsome Auburn player called Dee Ford. Then, the twitiots you like happened and they reached England. They’re not so bad after all. You should meet them all too. Welcome home.
In the last month my faith has taken a battering, to the point where I’m not sure I believe in anything any more. I just went out into my garden, in an urban area with limited wildlife. Two white doves just flew past, heading west. I hope they send my love your way

It seems my tweet of last week was too subtle...
#AUFamily
I WILL be in Auburn next month for the Liberty game. I’m flying in 15th, will be in

When you randomly buy a vintage Auburn jacket, then get contacted by a 1980s walk-on who had so many many memories of their own long lost identical jacket… what do you do but get FedEx on the job. So pleased it came home !! It suits you much better than me!
4 yrs ago I bought my company. People who worked for me considered friends. Told I couldn’t do it. Told it was a mess. Stabbed in the back by those friends who tried to take work from me. Told my management style was wrong. 4 yrs on I’m still here, w/out them. Just saying, Coach.
A long thread now it’s 26 Jan (here!). Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day Jay Jacobs (and a few hundred of you) tweeted me by mistake. That mistake literally changed my life. I became firm friends with
@wareaglereader
who wrote about it. Then, it led me
It’s night time here and I need sleep. My heart is warmed by seeing how the
#AUFamily
has come together yet again. Stay strong and keep a watch on Rod’s friends for me, they’re hurting. I feel so helpless so far away but I’m sending virtual hugs to you all. War Eagle, always. 🧡
Righto, I gotta head for bed. I gotta Super Bowl to survive at stupid o’clock tomorrow too.
#Auburn
I 🧡 you and I miss you heaps. Wish I was there to celebrate. War Damn Eagle y’all.
#WDE
Right I’m opening the wine. We wanted a win, we got a win. No success is easy, no one does it perfectly and sometimes it’s messy along the way. But, always, always, always, it’s about getting the right result. We did it. Don’t forgot that. Our boys did good.
We won!! Big show day for me and Sebastian who won First prize in Minor Puppy Dog, then Best Puppy Dog and then Best Puppy in Breed at a Championship show!
Complete respect for this lad. To take a PWO spot against a free ride elsewhere, he’s gonna have to work hard to get his place. This means something to him, we need to show him that we have his back always.
Well I’ve just made it to Montgomery and been spoiled at

it’s midnight here and Father Christmas has been. Sadly, there is still no Auburn man under my tree wrapped in an orange & blue bow, so the big guy needs to listen harder next year. Have a wonderful Christmas Day! May your hearts be full of joy. War Eagle!
Well. War Eagle anyway. Bo knows what it’s like to play tough opponents now and I hope our offensive coach has a forward game plan... but War Eagle always.
Well that was a bit scrappy towards the end but I thought we started the strongest I’ve seen the team play. They played together and that was missing a lot before. I liked it and think we can get better. The kids are new to this let’s give em the credit they deserve. We won! WDE
So, I got stuck in my office for 3.5 hours because a young lad lost his life on the only road and no one could get home. There r some things you have to put into perspective. I got home safely, life is too short not to take chances. Let Joey & Bo have their futures. Others don’t
So I watched the game this morning. That’s the most fired up I’ve seen the lads in a very long time. Bo obviously learned from being pulled and showed maturity not panic. For a road game, in that stadium, against that team, well I salute them. Coach is doing something right.
Great news. Let’s also not forget a young woman’s reputation got slung around the internet too. She must be beside herself and I hope we back her as well.
Rod Bramblett, the Voice of the Auburn Tigers, and his wife, Paula, were involved in a serious car accident early Saturday evening in Auburn. We ask the Auburn Family to keep the Bramblett family in your thoughts and prayers.
Right. I’m back to work tomorrow. Need some sleep whilst Auburn twitter yet again implodes on itself. Hope peeps remember what an awesome team we’ve got lined up next year and we have basketball equestrian softball gymnastics and baseball to win yet

always
Superb night at the basketball where I met the legend that is Sonny Smith. Hi to the random two guys from Southeastern who drank with me and
@Sooz4AU
. You were ace. And saw you take the surreptitious photos to prove you really were drinking with us. War Eagle 😂😂
