Why doesn't Auburn change their mascot from the Tiger to the Eagle? Seems...to..be...logical.

@ajdewey2vc15 Well, ill tell you what ajd, since you seem like a friendly college football fan, i might pull for ol' Rich Rod and ya'll up there to make some noise, too.(just as long as we aint meetin up in a bowl game somewheres) lol

@AUcp3 Me too buddy.....I dont think i would have as many great memories in my life and fun moments, or as many smiles-or tears, for that matter- if it wasnt for Auburn University Football. Im not a graduate, though i wish that that couldve been the road for me. But I love Auburn with all my heart and soul. (im one of these people that finds it hard to keep an appetite after a loss in football, lol) But anyways, War Eagle Auburn Faithful!!

My wife has stated, "He didn't cry at our wedding. He didn't cry when our daughter was born. But damnit, let him watch Tiger's Last Flight and he cries like a baby!" She's a UGA grad and will never understand! War Eagle!
