In speaking with reporters Tuesday at the Senior Bowl Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn announced the date for the start of spring practice. And for the second consecutive year the Tigers will begin practice in February with the finish coming at the April 7 A-Day game.
Normally I get excited whenever Auburn announces the date of spring football. However, with the basketball team undefeated at home and on a tear in their SEC schedule, all my interest is focused on each time the Tigers take the court.
Not since the days that Cliff Ellis roamed the sidelines (1994-2004) has there been so much excitement around the round ball sport on the Plains.
