We have gathered together today to remember another promising set of talents, a team and program with as many mascots as they have national titles and a home county named for a Confederate general – a program with promise had it not met its most unfortunate demise at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 26, 2016.
We are here to remember the Auburn Tigers.
We do not need to re-hash all of the varied successes the Auburn Tigers have lucked themselves into over the years. Forever the “little brother” to the state’s Capstone football program, the Tigers managed to carve out a tiny little piece of a barren wasteland in West Georgia and make it their own.
