AUBURN, Ala. - Takeo Spikes slammed down his phone in frustration.
The legendary former Auburn linebacker was struggling to meet a deadline to finish the landing page for his book’s website.
“Maybe 10 seconds later I saw a call from the Birmingham area code,” Spikes said. “I picked it up, and the guys told me, ‘Welcome to the club. Welcome to the Hall of Fame.’
Surprised to learn of his induction into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Spikes thought at first someone might be pranking him.
“I hope nobody’s not being straight with me because I’m about to roast you right now,” he remembers thinking.
