Auburn is Lando Calrissian

Is there any cooler character in the Star Wars universe than Lando Calrissian? When you’re played by Billy Dee Williams, it’s hard to say there is. Lando Calrissian was suave and debonair, and ultimately a good guy, though we weren’t so sure at first.

Auburn has all the glitz and glamor entering the 2014 football season. They enter the season riding high on their great 2014 surprise run to the BCS National Champinship Game. There is no sexier pick in the SEC this year than Auburn. And just like we weren’t sure what to expect from Lando Calrissian when he first appeared in Episode 5, we didn’t know what to expect from Auburn a year ago, but they both turned out alright.
