At Auburn, we train harder, work longer and develop that special game day speed, for our training staff! That's why we are #AuburnFast

Defense Lifts Tigers in 2nd Half
Auburn hosted the Razorbacks from Arkansas Saturday to start the 2014 football season. The Hawgs left with the bitter taste of defeat as the Tigers were victorious by the score of 45 - 21.
As most hosts in the South are prone to do, they entreated their guests, and made them feel welcome. There were some highlight worthy plays, and many delightful celebrations in the first half. The trap was set for the Hawgs in the 2nd half.
For all of the merriment would belong to the Auburn faithful in the second half. Allowing just 2 yards rushing and a paltry 61 yards of total offense, and only 3 first downs after the halftime break. These Tigers had this old writer feeling some old time love for an Auburn defense.
Everything the Razorbacks found success with in the first half was quickly and summarily put to rest in the second. Auburn's defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson had figured out the visitors strategy. Adjustments were made, and the visitors would no longer feel welcomed.
What followed was the most dazzling display by an Auburn defense since the days when Tommy Tuberville walked the sidelines as the Auburn coach. A pick six by Jermaine Whitehead set up by a crushing tackle by Robenson Therezie as the Hawgs QB was releasing his pass attempt.
Sacks, tackles for losses, ignited the rain soaked crowd. Even an hour and 28 minute rain delay was not stopping the celebration.
There were many offensive highlights by our Tigers throughout the entire game, but nothing is more welcome in Auburn than watching their defense play "Good old American football."

13 Seconds and Counting
We've been waiting with great expectations,
To get faster and tighten our game!!
Just 13 seconds more with the Seminoles;
And a National Title was ours to claim!!
That 13 seconds has kept us humble;
And kept our coaches up late in the night!
Coach Malzahn has expanded his play book;
And our Auburn Tigers are ready to fight!
We may take a few extra chances,
But we will get faster with every play!
When our speed overtakes the Hogs;
It should just make Bret Bielema's day!
Both Johnson and Marshall are poised and ready
for this very important first conference game!!
But, Be prepared to see some changes,
While some things will remain the same!!
We look forward to coach Malzahn on the sideline
With his fist pumping Boom Boom Booms!!!
It will be "Lights Out" for the Arkansas Razorbacks!!
Our first Auburn Saturday can't get here too soon!!!!
WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!!!!

Top 10 Reasons #1: The Auburn Family
Of course I am biased, you would be too. It's just the greatest fan base in the entire country.
We have started a series of Top 10 reasons to be excited about Auburn football. Previously discussed on our list, in order:
10 - Sammie Coates
9 - Auburn Marching Band
8 - Jordan-Hare Stadium
7 - Tailgating Experience
6 - Auburn Arena
5 - Toomer's Corner
4 - Coach Malzahn
3 - Flight of War Eagle
2 - Tiger Walk
Often times visitors from outside our conference come to visit Jordan-Hare Stadium, and many will tell of the charm and refreshing attitude of the Auburn family. Whether it be tailgating, or during the game, most leave with a surprised outlook on just how nice they were treated.
Our Creed says a lot about the character of the Auburn Family. " I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all."
One of the most beautiful things ever written about Auburn football was authored by Bud Poliquin, who at the time was working for the Syracuse Post-Standard. You can read the entire post on the website of the West Georgia Auburn Club. Below is an excerpt of his eloquent post:
"In other words to compare our college football experience to that of Auburn (and a lot of other places) is to compare a skillet of beans to a plate of Chilean sea bass. And while that might sound harsh, it doesn’t make the words any less true.
Believe me on this. Please. I have descended into college football’s Grand Canyon. I have stood in its Alps. I have gazed at its ocean sunset. I have attended a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. And I’ve been changed forever."
All of this signifies the inescapable conclusion, that the spirit of the Auburn Family is the #1 reason to be excited about Auburn football. The Auburn Family is you!

Top 10 Reasons #2: Tiger Walk

It is not something every school does, and you'll excuse me if I say no school does it quite like Auburn. Home games always include the iconic parade. Even away games, the Auburn fans will do their best to include a Tiger Walk in the pregame ceremony for their beloved football team.
Often times there will 10,000 Auburn fans or more involved in the tradition known as "Tiger Walk."
The biggest crowds gather for our biggest rivals. Last season prior to the Iron Bowl, I witnessed the largest gathering of Auburn fans outside of Jordan-Hare Stadium. A virtual sea of Orange and Blue cheering our men on to vic'try. We all know how that turned out.
The sights and sounds of the Auburn Marching Band, along with the best Cheerleaders in the country, make this one of the best reasons to be excited about Auburn football.
