Why can't Auburn find a mascot and stick with it? Are they War Eagles or Tigers? Can't be both.
It's a long story that makes no sense.
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.
Auburn's colors are Blue and Orange. Orange Jerseys go back at least 30 years. Ordinarily Auburn wears Blue at home, White away. But for years, clutch games, at home or away, have been met with the Orange Jerseys. Seen it once in person and once on TV.
