For               many               years               Auburn               was               considered               to               be               "that               other               football               team               in               Alabama."               Some               people               might               even               think               the               Auburn               Tigers               were               a               somewhat               new               team               but               they've               been               playing               down               on               the               plains               since               1892.

They've               just               been               overshadowed               by               the               University               of               Alabama,               of               course               when               Alabama               has               the               most               National               Championships               in               college               football               and               Auburn               hasn't               won               one               yet,               you               can               see               how               that               could               happen.

But               the               truth               is               Auburn               has               been               one               of               the               elite               programs               for               a               very               long               time.

In               1957               the               Auburn               Tigers               had               their               first               undefeated               season.

Since               that               year               Auburn               is               10th               among               all               colleges               in               wins,               ranking               ahead               of               the               likes               of               Florida,               Notre               Dame,               Georgia,               and               Miami.

Overall               Auburn               has               a               lifetime               record               of               364               -               169               -               11,               been               to               26               bowl               games               and               had               two               Heisman               trophy               winners.

A               lot               of               people               would               even               say               that               Auburn               is               the               best               college               football               program               that               hasn't               won               a               National               Championship.

It's               hard               to               say               what               team               was               Auburn's               greatest               team.

Though               they               have               never               won               a               National               Championship,               they               have               had               three               teams               that               went               undefeated,               but               none               of               those               teams               got               a               shot               at               the               National               Championship               for               unfortunate               reasons.

The               1957               team               was               the               first               Auburn               team               that               went               undefeated.

The               team               played               10               regular               seasons               games               and               gave               up               a               total               of               just               28               points,               less               than               a               field               goal               per               game.

On               their               way               to               their               10               -               0               record               they               beat               Georgia               6               -               0               and               then               Alabama               40               -               0.

However,               Auburn               did               not               receive               a               bowl               game               or               a               shot               at               the               championship               because               of               recruiting               violations.

In               1993               the               Auburn               Tigers               went               undefeated               again,               including               a               thrilling               last               second               upset               over               the               Florida               Gators,               a               favorite               to               win               the               championship.

Once               again               the               Tigers               were               not               allowed               a               bowl               game               because               of               violations.

Finally               in               2004               the               Auburn               Tigers               went               undefeated               once               again               and               this               time               there               were               no               violations               against               them.

By               then               college               football               had               adopted               a               BCS               ranking               that               was               decided               by               a               computer.

According               to               the               computer               the               Tigers               were               ranked               #3               despite               Auburn               playing               a               much               harder               schedule               than               #1               USC               and               #2               Oklahoma.

USC               routed               Oklahoma               55               -               19               which               led               people               to               think               it               should've               been               Auburn               in               that               National               Championship               game               instead               of               Oklahoma.
               Auburn's               most               beloved               coach               would               have               to               be               Ralph               "Shug"               Jordan.

Jordan               got               the               nickname               "Shug"               simply               because               when               he               was               a               kid               he               loved               sugar.

"Shug"               went               to               college               at               Auburn               and               lettered               in               football,               baseball               and               basketball.

After               college               he               had               a               short               stint               in               the               army               where               he               was               wounded               in               the               invasion               of               Normandy               and               received               a               Purple               Heart               and               the               Bronze               Star.

When               he               returned               home               he               took               up               coaching               college               football               and               eventually               became               head               coach               of               the               Auburn               Tigers.

Jordan               went               on               to               lead               Auburn               to               more               victories               than               any               other               coach               but               like               Auburn's               program               Jordan               was               unfortunately               overshadowed               by               the               coach               at               that               other               school,               Alabama's               Paul               "Bear"               Bryant.

"Shug"               had               a               175               -               83-               7               career               record               but               his               record               against               Coach               Bryant               was               only               5               -               13.

Despite               his               record               against               Alabama               "Shug"               was               beloved               by               all               Auburn               fans               and               they               even               named               their               Stadium,               Jordan-Hare               Stadium,               after               Coach               Jordan.
               When               trying               to               decide               who               was               Auburn's               greatest               player               of               all               time               the               argument               would               come               down               to               two               men:               Pat               Sullivan               and               Bo               Jackson.

Both               were               probably               just               as               beloved               on               the               football               field;               however               Bo               probably               edges               out               Sullivan               for               his               play               on               the               baseball               field,               his               success               in               pro               sports               and               his               Nike               "Bo               Knows"               commercials.

Bo               Jackson               holds               the               career               and               single               season               records               for               most               rushing               yards               at               Auburn.

He               accumulated               4,303               yards               over               his               career               and               ran               for               1.786               one               season,               including               four               200               yard               games.

Bo               also               scored               17               touchdowns               that               year,               another               Auburn               record.

He               was               also               a               star               baseball               player.

His               Junior               season               of               baseball               Bo               batted               .401               and               hit               17               homeruns               and               43               RBI               in               42               games.

He               would               go               on               to               play               professional               football               for               the               Oakland               Raiders               and               pro               baseball               for               the               Kansas               City               Chiefs.

Bo               would               make               the               MLB               All               Star               team               in               1989               and               the               NFL               Pro               Bowl               in               1990               making               him               the               first               athlete               to               ever               make               the               All               Star               team               in               both               leagues.
               A               lot               of               people               might               not               consider               Auburn               to               have               the               tradition               of               a               program               like               Alabama,               Notre               Dame,               or               Michigan,               but               they               actually               have               some               very               long               standing               traditions.

In               Auburn,               at               the               corners               of               College               Street               and               Magnolia               Avenue               is               Toomer's               Corner.

Toomer's               Corner               is               named               after               the               drugstore               that               sits               on               that               corner               called               Toomer's.

Toomer's               supposedly               sells               the               best               lemonade               in               the               land               and               has               been               a               landmark               in               Auburn               for               150               years.

Hanging               over               the               Toomer's               Corner               are               two               massive               oak               trees.

In               the               1950's               Auburn               started               celebrating               big               victories               by               taking               toilet               paper               and               rolling               the               two               oak               trees,               the               tradition               is               still               held               after               every               big               game               today.

Another               tradition               at               Auburn               is               called               the               Tiger               Walk.

Before               every               home               game               the               Auburn               football               team               would               walk               from               their               dorm               to               the               stadium.

Sometime               in               the               1960's               some               fans               would               show               up               and               greet               and               the               players               while               they               walked               by.

The               crowd               that               showed               up               to               greet               the               players               seemed               to               grow               every               year.

Due               to               a               dispute               between               the               two               teams,               the               Auburn               and               Alabama               game               was               played               a               neutral               site               every               year               from               1948               -               1988.

Finally               in               1989               the               hated               Alabama               Crimson               Tide               had               to               come               to               Jordan-Hare               Stadium               for               the               very               first               time,               on               that               day               20,000               fans               packed               the               roads               to               greet               the               Auburn               football               team.

The               tradition               continues               today               and               the               Tiger               Walk               is               said               to               be               the               most               copied               tradition               in               college               football.
               Like               many               tradition               rich               football               programs               it's               hard               to               pick               one               game               that               is               considered               the               best.

The               1989               Alabama-Auburn               game               certainly               ranks               high.

In               addition               to               the               big               crowd               who               came               out               to               the               Iron               Bowl               at               Auburn               for               the               first               time               was               the               fact               that               Alabama               was               10               -               0               and               ranked               #2               at               the               time               and               Auburn               upset               them.

There               was               also               the               wild               finish               against               LSU               in               1994.

Going               into               the               fourth               quarter               LSU               was               beating               Auburn               23               -               9.

Suddenly               Ken               Alvis               intercepted               a               pass               and               returned               it               for               a               touchdown.

The               rest               of               the               fourth               quarter               Auburn               would               intercept               four               more               passes               including               two               returned               for               touchdowns               and               Auburn               would               win               the               game               30               -               26.

Finally               there               is               the               1972               Alabama-Auburn               game.

Coming               into               the               Iron               Bowl               Alabama               was               undefeated               and               ranked               #2               and               was               certainly               going               to               be               playing               for               the               Championship               if               they               beat               Auburn.

Auburn               was               the               heavy               underdog               and               was               down               16-3               with               just               six               minutes               left.

Auburn               had               stopped               Alabama               and               forced               Alabama               to               punt               but               Bill               Newton               broke               through               the               offensive               line               and               blocked               the               punt.

The               ball               landed               in               the               hands               of               David               Langner               who               returned               the               blocked               punt               for               a               touchdown               to               make               the               score               16               -               10.

On               Alabama's               next               drive               Auburn               stopped               them               again.

Alabama               was               forced               to               punt               again.

Bill               Newton               blocked               the               punt               again.

The               ball               landed               in               David               Langner's               hands               again.

David               Langner               returned               the               punt               for               a               touchdown               again.

The               final               score               was               Auburn               17               Alabama               16.

For               years               after               that               game               Auburn               fans               taunted               Alabama               fans               with               three               little               words:               "Punt,               Bama,               Punt."
