Bodda Getta Daily Brew 1/11: Don't Sleep on Auburn Gymnastics

Tickets to Auburn Gymnastics' meet vs. Kentucky on Friday are standing room only

Good morning. With the Auburn Gymnastics program breaking attendance records right and left season and a current No. 11 ranking thanks to a solid opening effort at the Mean Girls Super 16 in Vegas, we repeat:

Do. Not. Sleep. On. Auburn. Gymnastics.

Friday’s meet vs. Kentucky at 7:30 p.m. CT has Drink Rail Standing Room tickets only. Standing room is located at the drink rails around 100 & 200 level concourses.

If you have questions, please contact the Athletics Ticket Office at (855) 282-2010 or send an email. But if you’d planned on hitting a meet or two this season, this is your reminder to get on the beam, er, ball, sooner rather than later.

BEST OF WEEK 18

Tank Bigsby, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
In what was the final game of his rookie season, Bigsby made the most of his opportunities. He picked up 16 yards on three carries and earned a PFF grade of 72.7 on just nine snaps. He also served as the team's kick returner for the first time all season and returned four kicks for 99 yards with a long return of 31 yards. 

Derrick Brown, DT, Carolina Panthers
It was a historic season for Brown, and it was only fitting that he capped it off Sunday by breaking the all-time NFL record for tackles in a single season by a defensive lineman. Brown finished with seven tackles in what was his final game, giving him 103 for the season. He also picked up his second sack of the year and seventh tackle for loss. He was once again among the team leaders with a PFF grade of 87.6 against Tampa Bay, and his season-long PFF grade (90.1) ranked fourth among all NFL defensive tackles.

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA

From Tiger Trail to Top-Notch Tackles. It seems as though past Tigers make the news on a daily basis for the things they do in their post-Plains lives, so today’s trivia turns to the Auburn Made NFL rundown for week 18.

Jamien Sherwood had an excellent game in the regular season finale, ending up with a career-high eight tackles.

🐅 ONE BIG THING

We’ve Got Their Number. ICYMI! And this was no ordinary win either. For Auburn's upperclassmen, Tuesday's matchup with Texas A&M presented an opportunity to settle the score against a program that had beaten the Tigers five times in six meetings over the past four seasons.

"This game really means a lot to me to play these guys and compete at the highest level," said fifth-year forward Jaylin Williams before the game. Williams scored a game-high 22 points and led Auburn with eight rebounds in 35 minutes.

Last season, the Aggies ended Auburn's 28-game home winning streak, at the time the nation's longest.  

"They've clearly had our number," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said in a pre-game interview.

No longer! WDE!

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: New York Jets

Sherwood saved his best game of the season for the finale as he set a new career-high with eight tackles in Sunday's 17-3 win over the New England Patriots. Three of his eight tackles came on special teams. He also added his third tackle for loss of the season. Sherwood's PFF grade of 85.3 was the third highest of any player on the team, offense or defense. He set new single-season highs in tackles (46) and tackles for loss (3).

War Eagle!
