All Elvis was doing was thanking people, thanking them very much. All Jim Fyffe was doing was telling people that Auburn had scored a touchdown. On paper, it was the most unoriginal sports catchphrase ever. On the airwaves, it was magic. (Thanks, jackass golfing Bama fan!)
Fyffe died 10 years ago today. He once said “Touchdown Auburn is my signature. It’ll probably be chiseled into my tombstone.” He was right.

Touchdown Auburn!!!
We still say “Touchdown, Auburn” after every touchdown.
