AUBURN, Ala. - When the pregame clock hits 24:30 before Auburn plays Ole Miss Saturday, a man who devoted his career to working in the background, generating attention for others, will be in the foreground, receiving attention for himself.

An ovation, the kind usually reserved for Auburn legends like Heisman winners Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson and Cam Newton, will be given to another Auburn legend, Buddy Davidson.

A streak that began on Nov. 2, 1957, will likely end Saturday, when Davidson attends his 700th consecutive Auburn football game.
