Warrrrrr Eagle...Hey!

Well, it's that time. For some, including me, this is the most anticipated game of the year for Auburn. We will all be on the edge of our seats; praying, shouting, and cheering for the team we love so much.

What will you be doing at 7:45? You can bet I'll be yelling, "WARRRRRR EAGLE, HEY!!"

Here are a few tid bits taken from Auburn's website concerning the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry...

World War was the only thing strong enough to keep Auburn and Georgia from playing football. The two teams did not play in 1943, only because Auburn did not field a team due to World War II. The two teams did not play in 1917 and 1918 because of WWI. With those two exceptions, Auburn and Georgia have played continuously since 1898.

The Auburn-Georgia series (108 games) is older than the Georgia-Georgia Tech series (99 games) and the Auburn-Alabama series (69 games). Auburn and Georgia first played in 1892. They first played their intrastate rivals in 1893.

Of Auburn's major rivals whose games were once played at neutral sites, Georgia is the only school to come to Auburn without argument. In fact, both Auburn and Georgia used a home-and-home AU-UGA series as the base for major stadium additions.

Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia Tech all indicated they would drop Auburn rather than play at what was then known as Cliff Hare Stadium.

The last game played by Auburn on Nov. 12 was a 23-23 tie at home against the Bulldogs in 1994.
