Something unusual is happening with Auburn basketball this season. Perhaps like never before, the fans care.
“They’ve started taking buses to games,” former Auburn Coach Sonny Smith said Sunday. “You haven’t seen that in the Auburn program in many years. Maybe ever.”
More than 300 fans rode buses to watch the Tigers play at Mississippi State on Jan. 13. More than 200 fans went to the game Saturday at Georgia.
“They’re more enthused than I’ve ever seen them,” said Smith, who became Auburn coach 40 years ago and now does commentary on radio broadcasts of Auburn games.
