Or Plainsmen? I'm gonna' splain this only once, as I have to many non-believers in the past. Auburn's teams are called the Tigers. Their mascot is Aubie, the tiger.
In addition, since football began they have adopted the cheer, "War Eagle!" after an event during the very first football game during which an eagle circled over the football field.
Subsequently, trained eagles, both bald and golden have been trained to fly over Jordan (pronounced Jer'-dan) Hare Stadium.
The Plainsmen nick comes from an English poet, "Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plains." Auburn, Alabama isn't on the plains. It's in the foothills of the southern Appalachians.
Furthermore, sg, they'll kick Volunteer butt again like they did before. Maybe even wear Orange Jerseys.
Why can't we be both? Or more? We'll be whomever and however many we want, thank you very much.
Cholera, that was a very good explanation. Toomer's Corner was a delight Saturday night and my band members returned mighty happy.
Finally, a literate explanation of the multi-mascot sitchiation. I'm not a Vol so I'll be happy if my Aggies can hold their own against the miserable teasips this week. They wear orange too. An ugly, kernicteric orange.
