[body]As an Auburn football fan, it is only natural to believe that Auburn tradition rests dear in the hearts of the Auburn family. A few of our most proudly held traditions include the rolling of Toomer’s Corner after a win, tiger walk before the game, our mascot Aubie, the War Eagle battle cry, A- day, and football game pep rallies .
Auburn pep rallies have created a wonderful way to boost enthusiasm and excitement, with more than a couple thousand faculty, students, and fans pouring into the streets around Toomer’s Corner . The tradition was taken away for a little while in between. However, the Student Government Association worked very hard with the City of Auburn to bring back this great tradition.
The Tiger Walk is one very revered tradition. The fan form a line down Donahue Drive with space in between for the players and coaches to walk through. It starts from the athletic complex and ends at the stadium two hours before the game begins. This ritual began way back in the sixties when fans and students would gather around the football players as they walked from Sewell Hall down to the football stadium. As the years have gone by this ritual has become an integral part of game day activities, even making it’s way into the official game day itinerary.
One of the most asked about questions about Auburn football is “Do we have two mascots?” No is the answer. Auburn University has only one mascot- the roaring tiger The eagle is a ritual that is a part of Auburn’s famous battle cry, Warrrrr Eagle. It started in 1892 at an Auburn vs. Georgia game. Auburn was losing terribly at that game. A fan in the stands had an eagle who broke free and started circling the stadium and before we knew it everyone in the stands started to yell War Eagle| An Auburn fan had brought his eagle to the stadium, which broke free and began to make rounds above the stadium, which prompted Auburn fans to yell- WARR Eagle}. The cheering pumped up the Auburn players and we ended up winning the game. Now before every game, our eagle flies around the stadium while all the fans yell War Eagle.
After any win, Toomer’s Corner, at the corner of Magnolia and College Street, is rolled with tons of toilet paper! What a stunning sight to see! It looks as if it’s a white Christmas in the middle of October!.
A-day is a founder’s day celebration where the football team plays a scrimmage open to the Auburn fans. A game like this gives all enthusiasts an opportunity to check out how awesome the Auburn players are playing that season .
Auburn University has become what it is today due to the many Auburn Customs which bind it together, creating an Auburn family which is unbreakable
That’s why Auburn Fans love Auburn Apparel, Auburn Sweatshirts, and Auburn Merchandise !
