A release said that Greene recommended the change in the football team’s leadership […]

This game put the idea that “any win is a good win” to the test. The first half of the contest between Auburn and Mississippi State surely gave many fans flashbacks to the 2008 game between the teams that finished in a 3-2 Tigers victory. Neither team was able to put any semblance of consistent […]

These 20 kickers, all now in line to be named the nation’s best of the year, have […]

With the loss to Texas A&M, Auburn falls to 5-4 on the season. That is pretty disappointing in itself, but the way that it happened is even tougher to swallow. The Tigers were unable to impede the Aggie offense all day, yet improbably found themselves with a 20-14 lead in the third quarter. It was […]

Harold Melton was humbled and thankful during his remarks at the dedication ceremony for the Harold D. Melton Student Center on the Auburn University campus.

Texas A&M is led by Jimbo […]

When it was all said and done, the final score of the 85th Iron Bowl showed a 42-13 victory for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The 85th Iron Bowl was a blowout win for Alabama as they defeated Auburn 42-13 in Tuscaloosa Saturday night. Mac Jones and DeVonta Smith linked up multiple times — as has become the norm for this season. Jones actually tied the Iron Bowl record for touchdown passes with five tosses to the endzone. Auburn could […]

The much better team won by a very big margin in the 85th Iron Bowl. Even though legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban was unable to be on the sidelines due to COVID-19 protocols, the Crimson Tide dominated the Tigers in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Both teams got off to a slow start as the defenses forced […]

The 85th Iron Bowl is about to kick off, but Nick Saban will not be in attendance. Alabama’s head coach tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week and has had to prepare for the game in an atypical way. Saban discussed some of this on the Alabama “Hey Coach” radio show saying, “It was […]

Tuscaloosa and Auburn have a lot in common. That assessment might give pause to passionate fans on both sides of what has been called college football’s greatest traditional rivalry. But if the subject is small-but-thriving communities that continue to expand their established industrial base while nurturing new businesses in emerging innovation sectors, the two cities […]

Auburn and Alabama face off for the 85th edition of the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa today.

Even though the No. 1 University of Alabama Crimson Tide (7-0) come into this weekend’s matchup as heavy favorites on paper, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn is noting that the Iron Bowl is always a different kind of game — and one that is difficult to predict. Malzahn’s Tigers come into the annual post-Thanksgiving matchup […]

The Auburn Tigers defeated the Tennessee Volunteers 30-17 to bring their season record to 5-2 through seven games.

Auburn looked like a team that had not played in 21 days. The visiting Tennessee Volunteers managed to jump out to a 10-0 lead in the first half on the road. The Vols were able to run the ball effectively, and quarterback Jarrett Guarantano found Tennessee receivers on short passes that were easy completions with […]

The Auburn Tigers come off their extended break to face the Tennessee Volunteers today. Auburn’s last game was their best performance of the season, a 48-11 drubbing of LSU. However, that contest was 21 days ago since the Tigers had a scheduled bye week and then an unexpected missed game against Mississippi State because of […]
