Auburn Tigers BCS Championship Celebration

Aside from the lack of an opponent and hundreds of students roaming around Pat Dye Field, an onlooker might have thought it was a game day at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Though no football was played, the Auburn Family cheered and chanted for the victorious team with the same enthusiasm.

Auburn University recognized the BCS National Championship team Saturday afternoon with a celebration open to the public. Fans received complementary National Championship posters as they entered the gates.… Continue

Zac Etheridge: A True Inspiration

It is a moment that many Auburn fans will never forget. After Auburn football star, Zac Etheridge, lay motionless on the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium for over 20 minutes, he gave a thumbs-up to fans as he was carried off on a stretcher.

Although this was his way of reassuring his fans that he was okay, no one was certain what the outcome… Continue

Goal Line Stand against cancer...

...It is one week away until my road march in honor of Shon Coleman and cancer research at St. Jude. I am working vigorously to get the word out to not just the Auburn Family, but college football fans across the nation. I want to thank those of you who have already contributed through monetary means, prayer, and support. The children across the country going through this fight cannot go into battle alone. I will quote Shon's mother when i say this: EVERY DONATION LITERALLY SAVES A CHILD'S…

Newton in the New

With hopes to transition from an NFL quarterback to an owner of his own daycare, Auburn football’s newest quarterback Cameron Newton is no stranger to the words “move” and “change.”

The 5-star junior college signee set foot on the Plains this semester not only as a sociology major, but as a potential starting quarterback for the Tigers’ next season. Newton described his long, but destined arrival to Auburn.

“I have always had a place in my heart for Auburn out of high… Continue

Hard work is something that Tate attributes much of his success to. "I believe in hard work like the Auburn Creed says," Tate said, "and that's… Continue

Seniors Not To Miss Their Last Iron Bowl

Heading into the 2009 Iron Bowl with a 7-4 record is an impressive feat for Auburn University's young football team that faced a challenging schedule. Early and pre-season chatter among Auburn fans yielded mixed feelings on how the season, specifically the Iron Bowl, would turn out.

Amid the chatter was an uproar from students and fans, unhappy about the game being slotted for the 1:30 p.m. spot on CBS, on Friday, Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving.

Over the past few… Continue

Ole Miss fans were shaking in their rain boots last Saturday, and not just because of Auburn’s 33-20 victory.

Students were asked to wear all navy to the game vs. Ole Miss. SGA… Continue

The Rock is Back!

Auburn University is known for priding itself on tradition. The clock tower in Sanford Hall, the various statues of golden eagles with their wings spread wide, the nationally acknowledged lists of students gaining awards in academic superiority and the decades of football greatness, all attest to that tradition of excellence. This is something that can be recognized by a student on his or her first day on campus, but one recently returned member of the Auburn family has been a part of this… Continue

How about that WVU Win!

I love how ESPN's ranking puts us at 24 but why have the others not even ranked us? We are 3-0 and yet there are still so many teams that are 2-1 that are above us. Well, I think I have an answer to that question but first I'd like to say that I think we've got great potential this year. Our team has been starting out slowly (have you noticed this?) nearly every game. But like a big freight train once we get going it's hard to stop us. I think I like this strategy much better as it will take… Continue
