AU had a collective 10 - ten- seasons worth mentioning since 1906 (1906!!!) prior to Bruce.

1928
1960
1984
1985
1986
1987
1988
1999
2000
2003



I started at AU in 1986 during the Sonny Smith years. And you can tell by that list, which years he was there. Then we had the Tommy Joe Eagles before landing Cliff Ellis and some of his teams are on that list.

The 80's we had Dye as football HC, Hal Baird over the baseball team and Sonny Smith over the basketball program. What a time to be at AU.

Looks like we are heading that way with Freeze (football), Bruce (basketball) and Butch (baseball). Competitive in all three major sports.

Bo, Barkley, and The Big Hurt.

They helped also.

Also our women's BB teams were competitive and were at times fun to watch. I was there from 84-88 and like you said it was good times.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t try to add Mel Rosen (Track) into that group from the 80’s.

Coach Rosen is right up there among the legacy of legendary Auburn athletic coaches.
