There are thousands of devout and rabid Auburn fans, students, faculty, and alumni who comprise the reality of the legendary Auburn Spirit. But experts (that’s a guy from out of town with a briefcase) unanimously rank Eagle5 high on the AU fanaticism scale. E5 is among that obsessive compulsive breed of Auburn fans who have a granular knowledge of Auburn football history, recalling at will player names from big game moments, long forgotten lore, and even 2nd string players from past decades. His wife suggests a 12-step program on “getting a life”, but she just wouldn’t understand.
Eagle5 tirelessly keeps an eye on the orange tinted horizon for developments of interest to any Auburn man or woman, joyfully sifting and sharing what matters. On Fall football game weeks, E5’s alter ego, Manly Tiger, prophesies of the blood, gore, conquest, and mirth that will be visited by the gridiron gods through the cult favorite, Manly Tiger Prophesies. In 2004, the Manly Tiger Prophesies enjoyed a flawless forecast of a wire-to-wire perfect battle campaign, including the prophesy of the precise 38-20 score in the Auburn vs. Arkansas battle.
The Eagle5 on Auburn mission is simple: to inform, amuse, inspire and rally the Auburn family. There is no better time nor crossroad in our history to jump onboard. It is not a question of if, but when, the sweet wine of victory pours freely in the Loveliest Village. It’ll be a hell of a ride, so get your ticket. The train is leaving the station.
I’ll leave the light on here . . . drop in early and often, and be treated to seldom heard war stories from former Auburn greats, opinion, and the irreverent wit of Eagle5.
A resident of Birmingham, Alabama, Eagle5 wisely married an Auburn girl (Pi Phi, ‘83), and now proudly writes checks to Auburn University for a daughter at AU (Kappa Delta 2009 pledge).
