The Malzahns were among the VIPs at the Preakness soiree hosted by Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank (who owns a horse named Tiger Walk), and of course Kristi was all Gus-sied up. Here’s a photo she recently posted on Facebook. The caption: “Under Armour weekend, that hat was in EVERYONES way.” More like Over Armour… [...]
Dr. Gary Keever guessed 81. He was under by two to four years. According to Keever, an Auburn Professor of Horticulture, and associate School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences professor Brian Via, the Toomer’s Oaks were between 83-85 years old when they were removed on April 23, though there were just 81 growth rings counted.

Lemonade? Please. Looking at this menu (found recently on eBay) we can’t help but think that, if you ordered just a plain ol’ lemonade in Auburn 110 years ago, the dandies behind the counter at Lazarus & Toomer’s probably called you a rube behind your back (and the Pan-American Ade and Huckleberry Dew connoisseurs probably [...]
The oaks are gone. The Toomer’s Oaks grooms cake tradition is not. Here’s 2011 Auburn grad (and new husband to Marie) Jeffery Huntley’s. It’s most likely the first Toomer’s Oaks grooms cake to ride the internet since the oaks were cut down (note the commemorative “Final Roll” toilet paper at the base). Via @AU_Grant. … [...]
EDSBS.com was dead in the water Wednesday. Idle hands are LSUFreek’s workshop. Spencer Hall’s perfectly astute description: Not that Gus Malzahn doesn’t already look enough like an amnestied, brilliant, and slightly terrifying Nazi rocket scientist quietly working in the hills surrounding Huntsville, but yes: give him Nick Saban’s hair, and he now has a fully [...]

According to a story by Cox News Service, the outbreak started when a Phi Gamma Delta fraternity brother caught the measles virus from a [...]
Cam Newton’s hardest class during his surreal, serenaded first semester back at Auburn as a Normal College Student? Criminology. That’s what he recently told the Charlotte Observer (so maybe that was the grade he was hahaha willing to buy). “It was very challenging this semester to go back to school, being that I was out [...]
Guess this was technically 1984, at least if it was taken during an actual game and not posed (hard to fake looks of concentration like that), because this is actually from the epic Auburn Football Illustrated from the 1985 Ole Miss game. But just look at these young bloods! War Eagle! Today marks 10 years [...]
The USFL chapter in Jim Fyffe’s memoir-ish “Touchdown Auburn!” starts off with a mea culpa of sorts: “I saved Paul Finebaum’s life.” Related: Jim Fyffe’s tombstone. … Keep Reading: * Watch Pat Dye lick sugar off a football * Best Auburn majorette name ever? * Cam Newton on a Segway * The Thing That Ate [...]
Continuing in our remembrances of all things Fyffe on this, the 10th anniversary of his death, here’s a photo of Jim at some sort of golf thing with Joe DiMaggio from his memoir “Touchdown Auburn!“ Here’s the caption: “Or you might find me hanging out with the likes of Joe DiMaggio. The Yankee Clipper looks [...]
