Bodda Getta Brew 9/25: Georgia On Our Minds

Today, we're looking ahead to the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.

Good morning. How did a simple catchphrase likely contribute to a 67-yard scoop-and-score for Eugene Asante over the weekend? Read more about the power of “let’s work!” and how it’s driving the junior linebacker this season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Georgia On Our Minds. Auburn football wasn’t without its highlights this past weekend in College Station—Eugene Asante returning a fumble 67 yards for a touchdown and Alex McPherson kicking a career-long 53-yard field goal specifically spring to mind—but the Tigers fell 27-10 to Texas A&M in their SEC opener.

📅 Auburn returns to Jordan-Hare Stadium next Saturday to host Georgia at 2:30 p.m. CT in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry on CBS and the Auburn Sports Network.

🔼 First Of Many. A nearly perfect third set, 20 kills from Akasha Anderson, a seventh double-double for Jackie Barrett, and 500 career kills from Madison Scheer was just what No. 24 Auburn needed to get back into the win column, besting Ole Miss in four sets (21-25, 25-21, 25-10, 27-25) to improve to 11-2 on the season.

After taking the No. 3 team in the nation to extra points in the fifth, head coach Brent Crouch needed a bounce-back in several ways. His team delivered.

🔼 Giddy Up. No. 2 Auburn equestrian team kicked off the 2023-24 season at the Auburn University Equestrian Center, downing No. 9 UC Davis by a score of 14-4. The win marked the first for new head coach Jessica Braswell.

And if the box score wasn’t enough to prove just how much Auburn dominated the day, the Tigers also swept the Most Outstanding Performer honors—Isabella Tesmer was awarded in Reining, while Anna Marie Mayes took the award in Flat. Caroline Fredenburg picked up MOP in Horsemanship and Avery Glynn was honored for her performance in Fences.

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA

Even stevens. The Auburn-Georgia series has been played 126 times but it’s the number of times they’ve tied that is likely to raise an eyebrow.

Our question day—how many times do you think the Tigers and Dawgs have tied in 126 matchups?
