Good Morning, Auburn Family. As this is the last Brew of 2024, we’d just like to thank the best fans in all of college sports—YOU.

Whether in the stadiums…

🗣 “I need Jordan Hare to be what it has always been in this game — that is the most difficult place to play,” Hugh Freeze, head football coach.

On the road…

🗣 “We had close to a thousand people at Cameron Indoor Stadium. When we got off to a great start, you really couldn’t tell the difference between whether we were on the road or at home.” - Bruce Pearl, head men’s basketball coach

Or even impressing an opposing coach…

🗣 “I think the environment is all that you want college basketball to be. Everybody is hollering at me and mad at the officials. As far as you can see, people are standing up there. They’re here as soon as we get here. Great environment.” Buzz Williams, Texas A&M coach

There’s no better fan than an Auburn Athletics fan. Rest up, as we’ve got a lot coming at you in 2025.

What else do we have mixed into the Brew for your today? Check it out below!

Q: What was your first visit to Auburn like? What about Auburn made you want to come here?
A: “My first visit to Auburn was a summer camp after sophomore year of high school, and I was immediately in love with it! I have wanted to go to Auburn since I was 11 years old. After my first Level 9 Westerns, they were the first college to ever send me mail and I just knew that's where I wanted to be.
