Auburn is 1-4, two seasons removed from capturing all of the Tostitos. Things are looking bleak for the Tigers with three ranked teams remaining on the schedule, including a trip to Tuscaloosa to take on #1 Alabama. So coach Gene Chizik’s wife, Jonna Chizik took to Facebook to

Jonna Chizik’s Facebook page (via Out Kick the Coverage):

“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!
WAR EAGLE”

Occupy Wall Street, Konya, flash mobs… Social media can bring back all that has been stolen from us. Like the time everyone did a reverse tiger walk. It’s not too late to make a BCS game, right? She later clarified this long, rambling statement with a shorter one.

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 God probably doesn’t give a shit who wins football games, but if He wanted to, he totally could. Thanks to social media. More like WAR TWITTER.
