🎥 WAREAGLE+ TALKING TIGERS


Talking Tigers - Mark Chapman (Pt .2)
He planned to walk on at Florida. As a matter of fact, Mark Chapman didn’t know Auburn was in the state of Alabama. Auburn Assistant Coach Steve Renfroe came to Orlando to recruit Chapman’s catcher at Boone High School. That catcher, Joe Oliver, went to pro ball. Chapman pitched that day and caught Renfroe’s eye. By the time Chapman left Auburn his name was prominent in the record books and still is today. This is Part 2 of Mark Chapman in the Talking Tigers Podcast.

A three-year starter for Auburn from 2019-21 and one of four two-time All-Americans in program history, Bliss played and started in all but two games during his career and turned in a .328 average with 176 hits in 134 contests. He added 121 runs, 32 doubles, four triples, 20 homers and 99 RBI while turning in a .972 career fielding percentage in the middle infield. He led the team in hits and runs in two of his three seasons on The Plains and was a two-time All-SEC honoree.

🔼 The Voice of Auburn. We recently surpassed the 5th anniversary of the tragic deaths of Rod and Paula Bramblett. A family lost its mother and father, son and daughter, brother and sister, aunt and uncle. We lost our friends. Auburn lost its voice.

This tribute features Brad, former Auburn baseball coach Hal Baird, Paul Ellen, Stan White, Quentin Riggins and Talking Tigers host Andy Burcham sharing fond memories of their friend and colleague. It includes a Talking Tigers Podcast with Rod from 2018, prior to his final season as the Voice of the Tigers.
