Auburn doesn't say Go Tigers
Well, they used to say, "Track 'em, Tigers!" Don't hear it said all that much any more these days...
This is true if you don't count the "track 'em Tigers" cheer we do at every single game
ETA: As for "go Tigers", I associate that with LSU.

The Esso boys - it started with their "put a tiger in your tank" campaign when I was a kid.
Then along came Tony and "Tttttttt's GREAT!" Terrible stuff for you though.
But when it comes to football it's LSU. I saw LSU live in Red Stick, in person, before I saw the taterheads play in taterville. And in doing so I saw Mike, in '66 I think it was but I'd have to look it up - so "The Tigers" have always been LSU to me.
When I think of Auburn I think of "War Eagle" ... one of the great pregame shows, if not the greatest, in college football.
I'm still getting used to the whole Mizzou Tigers thing and the fact that their mascot, their entire being actually, is named after a yankee cause. I can find no honor in that, no redeeming value whatsoever. So when I think of their mascot I think of "yankee" rather than tiger. Matter of fact they should have named their mascot "yankee" rather than Truman.

Welcome back, Scrooster!! 
And for what it's worth...the Tiger militia unit our mascot was named after protected the University from any and all invaders, whether confederate or yankee. More neutral than yankee, really.
Glad you're back for the season!

Wtf Eta: actually this could explain something I have long wondered. My wife is an LSU fan and I have always had LSU fans bring up plainsman more than any other fan base (normally its "are you the war Eagles or tigers?"). Them painting names up could be the reason it sticks in the minds of LSU fans more than others. You may have solved a question I have long wondered.

My Dad took me and the La State Trooper's son he got the tickets from to the LSU-Auburn game in BR on October 25, 1969 (I was 6 :) We sat in the SEZ and I remember the SEZ being painted orange with big blue 'A U' in it :)
Also at that time, there was a weekly football periodical in the NOLA area called Gridweek, and I remember seeing them use 'Plainsmen' in a story about the game.

Nope nope nope
Officially, it's the LSU Fightin' Tigers.
Named after the most viscous regiment in the Army
of Northern Va.
We have a mascot name. Don't need or want more than one.

I think of "go tigers" as extremely generic, so I don't even associate it with LSU or Clemson, etc.
More like I associate it with thousands of high schools and youth teams. I'm an Auburn guy and I don't really think "Auburn" when I hear it.

I grew up in Columbia MO. I went to Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School. There's a Robert E. Lee Elementary School right down the road also in the same town. I always wondered if the town was implying that different groups of third graders should be firing muskets at one another.
Ain't no kinda crazy like Border State crazy. LOL, amirite, Kentucky?
