From wire reports
In the early morning hours, the Auburn sports writer and Internet poster known simply as Eagle5 (and his more renowned alter ego, “Manly Tiger”) unceremoniously invaded the world of the sports blogosphere. In apocalyptic timing, Eagle5 gratefully established residence at AuburnEagle.com, even as the Auburn Tigers enter the 7 day countdown for toe to meet leather in the Gene Chizik era of Auburn Football.
A tireless observer and protector of all things Auburn, Eagle5 offered this typically fiery comment: “Some say there’s no room for more sports blogs. No room for Auburn sports opinion, analysis, and humor? You say it’s over? Nothing is over until I decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? NO! And it ain’t over now!”
And morphing then alarmingly into his alter ego, with dark and foreboding tone, Manly Tiger prophesied thusly: “Lo, a thousand slobbering mediots rain down lies and deceit daily of the death of the Auburn Tigers. Dishonorable and soulless, they must be disemboweled and put down. Their uprising shall be halted, and a path made clear for our return to glory and mirth.”
And reaching next a throbbing, vein-bulging crescendo, didst his rant continue: “Verily, I say unto the orange and blue minions, in but seven days, a campaign of biblical proportions begins. Ye shall not utter the word “game” in my presence, lest you face the sword. This is war, and war is hell. A new general shall lead us, and he is flanked by grizzled warriors who gird themselves to restore our honor and dispel the gloom of yesteryear. I shall not sleep, nor put down the sword of truth until the Day of Great Tiger Conquest. And Lo, it cometh as sure as the sun riseth over the Loveliest Village . . .”
Strange musings, sports fans, strange musings indeed. Irreverent humor, bold prophesy, tales of the Auburn Tigers, past, present, and future. And thus beginneth, Eagle5 on Auburn.
A great place to frequent, Auburn fans, players, or the morbidly curious! You just never know who or what may show up here . . .

The Germans did not bomb Pearl Harbor. Keep the facts straight for credibilty.
