We’re getting hyped for SEC play coming to The Plains, so the first 250 fans at tonight’s match will receive an Auburn soccer rally towel and the first 150 will receive complimentary Smoothie King!

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🎤 Walker Kessler: Auburn Made
⚽️ It just means more on The Plains

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Keep It In The Family. “It's so good to be home. The Auburn fanbase is second to none. It's unbelievable.” Between serving as honorary mic man and his on-field Auburn-Made recognition, Walker Kessler reflected last weekend on his season on the Plains and how it prepared him for NBA stardom.

🔼 Two Good. Whether it was hitting the quarterback, shutting down the pass, or setting your team up for the game-winning field goal—four former Auburn players played pivotal roles with their NFL teams last weekend.

🔼 It Just Means More. SEC soccer action is headed to The Plains as Auburn hosts Missouri at the Auburn Soccer Complex tonight with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.

🆚 Know Thy Opponent: Traditionally, the battle of the Tigers is tightly contested as eight of nine matchups in history were decided by one goal or less. While Missouri holds the 5-3-1 all-time advantage, Auburn picked up all three of its wins within the last five matches of the series.

🎉 Smoothies & Soccer: Complimentary Smoothie King will also be available to the first 150 fans to arrive Thursday evening, and 250 Auburn soccer rally towels will be given away on a first come, first served basis. Gates open 30 minutes prior to first touch.

📺 Can’t Make It? Auburn vs. Missouri kicks off at 6:30 p.m. CT tonight on SEC Network+ and you can watch it here or listen to live radio here.

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA

Going out on a high note. We mentioned Walker Kessler’s recent visit to The Plains to take up his role as honorary mic man before the Auburn vs. Samford game, and it got us thinking about his play in the 2021-22 season…

a. Rebounds

b. Steals

c. Blocks

🐅 ONE BIG THING

Auburn cross country senior Ryan Kinnane was selected as the SEC Men's Runner of the Week after outrunning a field of 304 participants to capture the first meet win of his collegiate career in the men's 8k at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville, Alabama. He set a new personal best time after crossing the finish line in 23:19.90. Kinnane beat a handful of runners from the SEC as No. 23 Alabama, Kentucky and Ole Miss also appeared in the meet.
