Today is the day when people the world over celebrate Valentine’s Day by expressing love for those they care deeply about. And that’s no different in the Loveliest Village on The Plains. There is just no way of telling how many have fallen in love ‘neath the sun kissed skies of Auburn.
Once you have experienced what it’s like to be in Auburn, you will forever be changed. Many come here and never leave while others come back whenever they retire. That includes ex-coaches. Former Tiger assistant and Troy Head Coach Larry Blakeney moved to The Plains when he retired last year, Tommy Tuberville lives nearby at Lake Martin, and now Gene Chizik has left his position on Larry Fedora’s North Carolina staff to come back to east Alabama.
