Bodda Getta Brew 9/12: Mr. Everywhere

Today, we're celebrating Eugene Asante's first SEC weekly honor with the Tigers.

Good morning. And our apologies, but we triple bogeyed yesterday when we failed to mention that Auburn men’s golf won the Mirabel Maui Jim Intercollegiate over the weekend! Thanks for the good vibrations going into the rest of the workweek, y’all!

What else did we drive into today’s Brew?

🏈 An inside perspective on the Cal win
3️⃣ Starting the season off on the right foot
🐅 And much, much more!

🔼 Keep Believing. It’s not quite the Journey lyric, but it was head coach Hugh Freeze’s message to the Auburn football team right before they geared up and traveled to California Memorial Stadium.

“You’re going to have fight ‘em every play. Every play. Keep believing, keep believing, keep believing!”

🔼 Mr. Everywhere. After helping lead Auburn to a 14-10 win at California Saturday, linebacker Eugene Asante has been named SEC Defensive Player of the Week after making 12 tackles, including nine solos, against Cal—adding a sack, 1.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and two quarterback hurries.

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA

Three cheers. With a win at Cal last weekend, Auburn moved to 2-0 on the season—and while they’ve started eight of the last 10 seasons with a pair of victories, how long has it been since they’ve had a trio of wins to start the year?

Our question today—when is the last time Auburn started 3-0?

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2019!

With wins over No. 11 Oregon, Tulane and Kent State—the last time that Auburn started a season 3-0 was 2019.

And hey, would you look at that… 2019 was also the last time we beat that school a few towns over in Tuscaloosa.

🐅 Have a great Tuesday, y’all.
