War Eagle!

Auburn 27, Florida 17.
Tiger flew over Jordan Hare tonight - the fifth largest city in the state of Alabama when Auburn plays a home game. And Tiger always returns rather than fly off to the wild. It is one of the most beautiful sights I can ever imagine.
The story of Auburn's eagle, named Tiger, is that the tradition began with a Confederate soldier who found himself and a baby eagle to be the only survivors on a battlefield. The soldier returned to Auburn taking his little eagle he named Tiger with him.
And Auburn has had an eagle named Tiger ever since.
So, War Eagle!
