Auburn off to 5-0 SEC start for only the fourth time in program history next to 1959, 1965 and 1999. The last time the Tigers achieved their highest-ever national ranking (No. 2) in either the AP or Coaches Top 25 Polls? 1959 and 1999 (twice)

My mom was a fighter until the very end. After being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in February 2017, she remained brave and courageous & never let her faith waiver in Him or His plan.

Some also get to hide behind social media to openly bash a student-athlete displaying sportsmanship & class.
It’s not Zep’s personality to hate on others. That’s what is wrong in this world. Too much hate & not love/respect. Bigger than basketball & sports. Y’all need to relax.
Finally home and opened my personal Twitter account for the first time postgame (sorry UNA team account). Red laser eyes are probably accurate for anyone who worked for me in the past at the College of Charleston.
Momma, I finally made it!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank You,

Disappointing to live in a state that would ban people’s rights to conceive a child through IVF, and today, ban diversity & inclusion through SB 129.

in the last seven days, Auburn Arena has seen:
- men’s basketball beat No. 12 Kentucky
- women’s basketball beat No. 4 Tennessee
- gymnastics beat No. 9 Alabama
three big wins over powerhouse standard-bearer SEC programs
what a week
Coming from mid-major, thankful for head coaches like Bruce Pearl, Roy Williams & Rick Pitino for playing schools like App State & College of Charleston in 2-for-1 series.
Rarely do those schools get at-large bid. App picked 2nd in Sun Belt. We played a really good team on road.
Johni Broome’s three-straight double-doubles against Florida, UGA and No. 13 Arkansas were the first by an Auburn player since Austin Wiley did so against LSU, Alabama and Missouri during the 2019-20 season.

Auburn sweeps the regular-season series with arch rival Alabama for the third time since the 2016-17 season. The No. 1-ranked Tigers scored 100 points versus the Crimson Tide for the third-time ever in the 162-game all-time series next to 1970 (121) and 1999 (102).

Auburn ranked No. 9 in NCAA NET rankings w/ two quality road wins, two Quad 1 wins, only loss of the season to a ranked UConn squad, playing without a preseason All-SEC 1st Team selection & currently 9th-longest win streak (7 games) in the nation. THIS IS a Top 10 team

People like Miss Kathy Harker make Auburn a special place.
For 30+ years, she has greeted every media member and scout with the same 😀 and hospitality.
She is our MVP 🏆

Met the nicest Alabama fan from Birmingham in the grocery store in Los Angeles. He doesn’t see anyone wearing Auburn or Alabama a lot and did a double take. Living in California makes Bammers friendlier towards Barners it seems 😆
