Mizzou tiger looks to be high on ecstasy.
Auburn tiger appears to be smoking grass.
Clemson tiger just took 3 adderall 30s.
Mike looks like these dumb asses just made this even easier for me.

Clemson got their name from Auburn.
Auburn’s comes from a 1770 poem by Oliver Goldsmith. Lines include “Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain” and “where crouching tigers await their hapless prey”.

You can tell the graduates vs the sidewalk fans by what ply level they use to litter the campus with.

I have a 16 week old Golden Retriever puppy that is kicking my arse. Big time! Non-stop! I may send him to the battle and wish Mike the best of luck! He floats like a butterfly and stings (with puppy teeth) like a bee!

I'll have to watch out for the crouching tigers the next time I am in the Auburn-Opelika area.

I like Auburn, but they definitely have a "mascot inception" problem.
Also, all of the tiger mascot suits are ugly, and not in a fun way.

And Auburn took their colors from UVA.
LSU was originally slated to be Blue and White. Coates, LSU’s first coach is who first introduced purple and gold for the tigers.

That is correct. Our President at the time came from UVA. The only unique colors in Football are Va Techs. Maroon and Orange.

AKA Thomas Jefferson University and Auburn continues to maintain their strong conservative roots.
Meanwhile University of Angel Reese is built for a circus with a real life tiger.

SMH. You’re one of those, I see.

If Clemson is allowed to join, then they either have to change their mascot since Riggs literally just stole Auburn’s or officially switch their team to Auburn Junior Varsity.

Before I get slammed for this, you asked for a history lesson so I'm going to give you one:
The most popular legend about the battle cry dates back to the first time Auburn met Georgia on the football field in 1892 and centers on a spectator who was a Civil War veteran. In the stands with him that day was an eagle the old soldier had found on a battlefield during the war. He had kept it as a pet for almost 30 years.
According to witnesses, the eagle suddenly broke free and began majestically circling the playing field. As the eagle soared, Auburn began a steady march toward the Georgia end zone for a thrilling victory. Elated at their team's play and taking the bird's presence as an omen of success, Auburn students and fans began to yell “War Eagle” to spur on their team. At the game's end, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died.
But the War Eagle battle cry lived on to become a symbol of the proud Auburn spirit. Whenever Auburn people gather, the battle cry “Warrrrrrr Eagle!” is almost certain to be heard. It has been a part of Auburn's spirit for more than 100 years.
Since the first War Eagle, there have been seven others throughout Auburn's history that have served as a symbol of the Auburn spirit and kept alive the legendary battle cry.
