So I guess it's safe to say your not a big fan?
I have to say, I don't understand the Auburn fan base backlash on Hugh Freeze. Last I checked, your basketball coach is Bruce Pearl.
Feels like yesterday 😌
2011 - @AuburnSoccer defeats #23 Florida 3-2 to win the school's first SEC Championship. As the 7-seed, Auburn was the lowest seed to ever win the tournament, and the first West team to win the trophy. #WarEagle #AUHistory
23 tackles 😦 lol im clearly going to have to watch this game cause this cant be the same man i call begging to send me $20🤣
1989 - Emmitt Smith was held to 86 yards as #12 Auburn defeated #19 Florida 10-7. With 26 seconds left, Reggie Slack hit Shane Wasden on 4th and 11 for the winning touchdown. Quentin Riggins recorded 23 tackles. #WarEagle #AUHistory https://t.co/Xs9gbjpcV3
Love those helmet stickers
1979 - It wasn't pretty, but Doug Barfield's #20 Auburn Tigers defeated a bad Florida team 19-13. WR Chris Collinsworth led the receiving stats, grabbing 6 balls for 87 yards. He would fumble the ball following a big hit from Clifford Toney. #WarEagle #AUHistory
@AUHistoryToday True story. The night before we were sitting on the couch and I told him "you need to go to bed, you have a no-no to throw tomorrow."
This was the only #Auburn baseball season played by Johnny Simmons, who was the @Royals' first-round draftee in summer 1969. Simmons then played his senior football season on the '72 @AuburnFootball team that was picked to finish 6th in the #SEC but finished 5th in the country.
1972 - In the same game, Wayne Hall & Johnny Simmons set the program record for most at-bats in a game with 9. Auburn would defeat Florida, 7-6, after 20 innings. The record was tied in 1987 as Trey Gainous & Rock Wilson also saw 9 ABs at Mississippi State. #WarEagle #AUHistory

Live shot of downtown Auburn, where thousands of Auburn fans gather WITHOUT masks and social distancing as they await the arrival of new head coach Bryan Harsin. This reckless behavior right before the holidays is unacceptable
I’m not crying, you’re crying
2019 - Final Four ticket punched! Jared Harper's 26 and Bryce Brown's 24 lifted 5-seed Auburn to a 77-70 overtime victory over 2-seed Kentucky. The Auburn Tigers will make their first Final Four appearance after downing three straight powerhouse teams. #WarEagle #AUHistory
I’ll forever curse DeWayne Reed’s name for keeping me from a free pep band trip to NYC
2009 - Down 73-72 with 16 seconds to go, Auburn forced a Baylor turnover. DeWayne Reed got fouled, but missed his two free throws. Rasheem Barrett led the Tigers with 16 points, but it wasn't enough as Auburn fell to Baylor 74-72 in the NIT. #WarEagle #AUHistory
Almost got to experience the Garden during my redshirt year, tough loss.

That’s my big brother!♥️⚾️
1986 - Mark Chapman becomes the first Auburn Tiger to strike out 15 batters in a 9.0 IP performance against Clemson. Auburn would win 5-1. Since then, five other Tigers have struck out 15 batters, including Tim Hudson, Casey Mize, and Tanner Burns. #WarEagle #AUHistory
One of my favorite, underrated memories from this day: @StevenPearl22 teaching @Bwb_2 how to cut down a net. Think we’ve got it just about figured out by now. Also: @VoiceofAUTigers’ over the mic in the background… 🥲 #WarEagle
2018 - Auburn defeats South Carolina 79-70 to clinch the regular season SEC Championship It was the first title for the Tigers since 1999. #WarEagle #AUHistory
good times.
Today in Auburn History 2014 - Auburn hosted Alabama during the "Snowpocalypse." Alabama's SGA president failed to attend the Iron Bowl trophy presentation, citing poor road conditions. Chris Denson set the then Auburn Arena record, scoring 32 in the 74-55 win. #WarEagle
This was a fun day right here

@AUHistoryToday Was their best player hurt? Is that why they lost?
@AUHistoryToday My dad is probably one of the only people in the world that actually saw that thing blow up. When he was a student he worked as a security guard at Haley center and SAW that thing blow up from the Eagles Nest
Very proud of @TheAUPlainsman coverage we put together. The original pages!
Today in Auburn History 1978 - A natural gas leak at the Kopper Kettle led to a massive explosion in Downtown Auburn. Miraculously there were no injuries. Coverage of the explosion made national news. Over 70 businesses received damage. #WarEagle
That was a fun day!! 40 minutes of Hell turned into 40 minutes of Heaven! 😆
Today in Auburn History 1995 - Arkansas won the national championship the previous season. Auburn was 0-6 when facing defending champs. Not this time. Auburn demolished #4 Arkansas 104-90. Wes Flanigan led the Tigers with 23 points. #WarEagle
