High Diving Horses

lol the mountains are literally right there. google table rock

this thread is about Auburn's war eagle thing. 'if true'. lol you guys drag Clemson into it. I don't want to talk about Clemson.

it is a decent home field advantage. 80000 plus capacity, bigger than most.

Clemson isn't about intimdating though. it about cool gameday vibe for tail gating, living the good life. we don't take football as serisously as you guys, it isn't life and death. just a game homeys

'this story, if true'

no comment. lol

stroke the rock is more accurate. a good hard stroke.

lol no wonder all I see is a bunch of guys at texas am games if you typical. I use to root for texas am in sec but no more.

why the hell all you non-auburn people butthurt about my post? lol

my favorite part is how this guy travelled around with this eagle and nursed it back to health. Seems like a Kramer thing. lol

then when the eagle goes up in the air at the game, all the fans just know to chant 'War Eagle'. lol what a bunch of douchebags.

lol couldn't Clemson just replace the uniforms and continue to use navy blue. this theory doesn't make any sense.

what u are really arguing is navy blue faded into orange and we never noticed the difference.

who hell cares about uniform color schemes anyway but chicks? lol u guys are an embarrassment to SEC football. You guys have literally talked about uniform colors more than football on here.

this is the goofiest thing that I ever read. I never laughed so hard. lol

Legend has it that football and “War Eagle” came to Auburn the same day, Feb. 20, 1892, when Auburn defeated Georgia 10-0 at Atlanta's Piedmont Park in the first real college football game played in the South. According to the legend, an Auburn student, fighting at the Civil War’s Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia, was left for dead in no-man's land, that stretch of earth between the two armies that belonged to neither friend nor foe. After the battle, all that was left alive there was the Auburn student and a baby eagle. With the eaglet in his pocket, the wounded soldier eventually made his way back home. He later returned to Auburn and resumed his education, nurturing the eagle back to health and maturity.

The man later joined Auburn’s faculty and when the train departed for Atlanta that fateful day, the instructor and the eagle, known to all Auburn people as “War Eagle” because of the circumstances which brought the man and eagle together, were on the train. As the game began, the eagle took to flight and began to circle the field. Looking skyward, the Auburn faithful began to call his name “War Eagle.” As the eagle continued to fly up and down the field, he was seemingly watching over his Auburn Tiger team, and supporting their efforts in his only way possible. Soon the crowd began to chant and then shout his name in unison..."War Eagle!"

At the end of the game, the old eagle, now almost 30 years old, collapsed and died on the playing field. Having given his all for his team and boosting Auburn to victory in the process, the events of that day soon grew into legend and the name “War Eagle,” as was voiced that day, has since been repeated as an inspriational battle cry whenever Auburn teams compete on the field of play. Auburn University and college football have never been the same since.
