Auburn loves to chat War Eagle, but the mascot is a Tiger. Someone please explain this. Why not just go ahead and change your mascot to a eagle?

I like Auburn because we share a common enemy, but having 2 mascots is really retarded.

To get right to the point, Auburn's only nickname is the Tigers. We're the Auburn Tigers. Auburn has been known as the Tigers since the University first fielded a football team against Georgia in Atlanta in 1892.

The official mascot of Auburn is Aubie the Tiger and all Auburn athletics teams (men's and women's) are nicknamed the Tigers. The nickname "Tigers" comes from a line in Oliver Goldsmith's poem, "The Deserted Village," published in May 1770, "where crouching tigers await their hapless prey..."

"War Eagle" is Auburn's battle cry. Auburn has never referred to any of its teams as "Eagles" or "War Eagles". To the Auburn Family, it's very simple. We are the Tigers who yell War Eagle!

Good grief guys,sorry for asking a question. I didn't realize I would receive sarcastic comments. I was curious on the history.

Dude, you could donate $1000 to every poster on this site and still get sarcastic comments. It's the rant. You will learn.

When was LSU ever the "Bengal Tigers"? LSU has always been the Fighting Tigers or simply the Tigers.
