Gene Chizik, Chick-fil-A bag man

Staff — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:54:09 +0000

Gene Chizik took a lot with him from first stint on the Plains: Jesus, a Broyles Award, and @AUlteredEgo reminds us, Tubby’s Maxim: “a way to a player’s LOI is through his stomach.”

Ten years ago, it was potato chips. Now it’s waffle fries.

The more things change…

Human pyramid towers over late ’70s Toomer’s rolling

Staff — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:02:39 +0000

Fear of a Toomer’s apocalypse is nothing new. In 1978, folks worried that downtown renovations would Updyke the tradition of rolling Toomer’s Corner to extinction (they’re taking away our power lines. What are we going to roll, the oaks or something?) So folks started having fun while the funnin’ was good. They rolled cops. And they got on each others’ shoulders.

Attractive intersection structures? “Transformer type technology? “Nah,” says 1977 Auburn, “HUMAN PYRAMIDS!”

*Sure, technically not a pyramid, but what are we supposed to call it? And maybe they were working on a pyramid.

Photo from the 1978-79 Tiger Cub.

Death from (All The) Above: Auburn flag flies in window of American chopper in Afghanistan

Staff — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:29:04 +0000

Apparently, if you’re trying to get your terror on in the mountains of Afghanistan these days, the last thing you might see on this earth is an Auburn logo. Bravo, Matt Fischer, for continuing the newest Tiger tradition.

More like Air Tiger, am I right Justin?

Arkansas State fan—and amputee—”gave my right arm” for Malzahn

thewareaglereader — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:43:12 +0000

Why did Gus Malzahn leave Auburn for Arkansas State? Because of the fans, whose passion for football apparently rivals the dude from 127 Hours’ passion for staying alive… and who will soon have a high-octane offense to complement their self-deprecating sense of humor.

Smokey and the Bowden

Staff — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:16:10 +0000

Before accepting his new job, Terry Bowden made a pros and cons list and concluded that though they don’t have Golden Flake “Baked Flake” up in Akron, they also don’t have warrants out for your arrest. And then this happened.

Never to yield, coach!

Barrett Trotter was good enough in Auburn’s Chick-fil-A Bowl win over Virginia for AUltered Ego to have this ready for us in the 4th quarter. (Best part? That’s Chizik’s real hair.)

Happy New Year’s, everyone. It’s great to be an Auburn Tiger.

Cam blesses boy with touchdown ball on Christmas Eve

Staff — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:52:19 +0000

This is a photo of a boy named Parker, the young lad in the Auburn hat who was given a football by Cam Newton during the Carolina Panthers’ Christmas Eve route of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it is worth every word ever said about Cam Newton by every Auburn fan ever. Thank you, Parker, for giving visual voice to our joy.

Parker’s dad talks about the Christmas miracle here. You should read it.
