New Auburn football coach Gene Chizik arrived on the Plains at about 6 p.m. About 200 cheering fans and supporters were there to greet him. If any unhappy folks were present at the Auburn/Opelika Robert G. Pitts Airport, they didn't say anything.

Chizik's first (and to this point, only) words to the local media:

"First of all, I am very, very overwhelmed. I'm back home. What can I say? I'm back home. I feel very blessed. My family, myself, this is a dream come true for us. And this is going to brief, but I'll tell you this -- these people of Auburn University and the Auburn family is what I got into coaching for. And I left it with a dream to one day come back to it, and today I'm living that dream and I want to thank you guys. And War Eagle."

Auburn mayor Bill Ham presented Chizik with some sort of memento as he got off the plane (I couldn't tell what). The crowd was a who's who of athletic department personnel. Many recruiting hosts and hostesses were there. Aubie and the team's cheerleaders also made an appearance.

Fans yelled "Warrr..." as the university jet approached and "Eagle!" as it touched down on the ground.
