Good Morning, Auburn Family. There’s something different about playing under the lights in Jordan-Hare Stadium. You can throw out the records and rankings. It takes one of college football’s most intimidating home environments and raises it to another level. 

Jordan-Hare Stadium will be rocking tomorrow night as Auburn hosts No. 15 Texas A&M for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff. It’s the first SEC night game at home for the Tigers this season. 

“It’s going to be an electrifying crowd,” senior edge Jalen McLeod. “It's an extremely special atmosphere,” added quarterback Payton Thorne.

For McLeod, Thorne, and the other 27 seniors on the team, it will likely be their last time playing in Jordan-Hare Stadium. As part of Senior Day, the group will be honored before the game.

🎥 WAREAGLE+: THE FLIGHT

🔼 “Overcomers” Unite. Tiger Walking into Neville Arena for the Hudson Family Foundation Legends Club Celebration, 1,200 elementary school students from Auburn, Opelika and Lee County high-fived Aubie Thursday morning while marching between the Auburn University spirit squad to their right and the pep band to their left.

Nominated by their teachers, each of the students received a $100 Kroger gift card to help provide Thanksgiving dinner for their families. After a video displaying his 1992 Olympic gold medal performance in the 400-meter relay, Auburn track and field coach Leroy Burrell congratulated and encouraged the students.

“You are getting a reward for being an overcomer. I want to give you a hand and thank you for being an overcomer, for being an achiever, for being great when it mattered most. When nobody else was looking, you did the right thing.”

🔼 Do It For Johnnie. The Auburn women’s basketball team continues its two-game West Coast trip tonight when the Tigers travel from Oregon to Berkeley, California, to face the Cal Bears.

Prelims are scheduled for 9 a.m. CT each morning, and finals are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Live results will be available on the Meet Mobile app, and the meet will be streamed live on the ACC Network Plus. 

Entering the weekend, Wochomurka’s men earned the No. 15 ranking in the country in the latest CSCAA Coaches Poll, while the women moved up to No. 18. 

🔼 In Pursuit of Perfection. The No. 1 Auburn equestrian team will conclude the fall portion of the 2024-25 season on the road today, traveling to No. 6 Georgia for a 1 p.m. CT Southeastern Conference contest.
