Good morning. Get in, War Eagles. We’re going scrapbooking.

With a storied history that dates back to the first game in 1893, the tales from the Iron Bowl run deep. From the shutout at the first game ever played at Bryant-Denny Stadium to the time Auburn cornerback Chris Davis caught the ball at the back of the end zone and returned it 109 yards for the game-winning touchdown, it seems that everyone has a story.

If you’ve got your own Iron Bowl memory to share, submit your photos and videos from your favorite moments for an opportunity to be featured in this year’s Iron Bowl content.

🧡 A Coach Baird story for the ages
⚾️ Meet Auburn baseball newcomer Cooper Weiss
🐅 And much, much more!

🏆 1983 IRON BOWL

“He’s good all the time, but he’s a little bit better in big games.”

That was never more true than during the 1983 Iron Bowl when Bo Jackson ran his way to a season-high 256 yards—the most by an SEC running back that season.

Hit the rewind button and get ready for this weekend’s big game today!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Coop Scoop. In episode 16 of “Newcomer Scoop With Tanner & Coop,” the duo talks to “the other Coop”—Cooper Weiss.

When asked why Auburn was a good fit, Weiss—who is a graduate transfer from Miami of Ohio and Coastal Carolina—said, “When someplace feels like home, that’s where your heart is.”

As for whether he’d prefer a diving play or a home run, the shortstop answered, “If I could get like a Jeter play in the hole, I’d take that over a home run.”

Check out the rest of the interview to find out whether he prefers his pant leg up or down, his favorite baseball player and team growing up and who his favorite Auburn athlete is.

🔼 A Tale of Two Coaches and What Might Have Been. Hopefully, you already caught part one of the Talking Tigers podcast with Hal Baird.

The winningest coach in Auburn Athletics history in any sport, Hal Baird won 634 games as Auburn's baseball coach. He took two teams to the College World Series. He coached the likes of Gregg Olson, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas and Tim Hudson. After his coaching career, he was Auburn's acting director of athletics.

This is part two of the Talking Tigers interview with Hal Baird.

There are plenty of gems in this podcast, including a story he told about Coach Pat Dye and Frank Thomas. When Frank was recruited to play baseball at Auburn, his fellow football players told him that doing so right away would never happen. Of course, it did.

According to Coach Baird, it was clear by the time his freshman year was over, Thomas would be a first-round draft pick in baseball.

Thomas started back with football his sophomore year, and not long into the season, he sustained an injury to his foot.

After the season was over, Coach Dye called Coach Baird, and as Coach Baird says was customary, Coach Dye assumed he knew who it was. He was sitting with Frank Thomas, Sr., and they had one question for Coach Baird: Would Frank Thomas be able to support his family with baseball?

Without hesitation, Coach Baird said yes. Not only that, he said he’d likely be the highest-round draft pick Auburn had ever had.

That was that—right then and there, Coach Dye said he’d allow Frank Thomas to continue to use his football scholarship without having to play football, as at the time, full scholarships didn’t exist.

“I’ve thought about that a million times,” Coach Baird said. “Not many football coaches would have sacrificed one of their scholarships, but that was so typical of Coach Dye.”

🔼 New Fear Unlocked: FOMO. Sure, you could attend your favorite Auburn sporting event like an Average Joe and have a great time, but super-fans don’t want to miss out on a way to level up.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2000

Of course, Auburn began playing its home games on campus in 1989, and it took our rival another decade to follow our example. By the time Alabama hosted its first Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Auburn had already hosted five at Jordan-Hare. You know what they say about imitation! 

War Eagle!

🐅 Have a great Tuesday, y’all!
