Waaaaaaarrrrrr Eagle....

HEY!!  In honor of our AUsome AUburn Tigers making it to Glendale for the BCS Championship, I thought that I would share a few AUburn fun facts:

• "War Eagle" is known as AUburn's battle cry and a greeting that hits the heart of any AUburn fan.  You can read here to learn more about it:)
• AUburn is also known as the "lovliest village on the plains."
• The population of AUburn (in 2000) was listed at 42,987.  On a gameday weekend, the stadium alone, becomes Alabama's 5th largest city.
• Traditions in AUburn are second to none, including Toomer's lemonade, Toomer's corner, the eagle flying and Tiger Walk.
• Aubie, AUburn's beloved tiger mascot has been the recipient of many distinguished awards, which include UCA National Rankings, UCA Leadership Awards and is currently ranked 2nd as Nationally Ranked Mascots.
• AUburn City Schools has been ranked among the top 100 school districts in the United States by Parenting magazine and as the best educational value in the Southeast by the Wall Street Journal.
• AUburn Univeristy's official school colors are ORANGE AND BLUE.

I feel so lucky to have called AUburn my home for 5 years of my life!  This city and school provide me with so many wonderful memories and life lessons that I will take with me forever!  It is truly amazing to be a part of a city/team that is lucky enough to be playing for a National Championship and I wish them all the best!!

I believe in AUburn and LOVE IT!!!

WAR EAGLE!!
