What is up with the War Eagle?
War Eagle is not a mascot or nickname at all - it's Auburn's battle cry.
The most popular version of the story comes from 1892 when Auburn played against Georgia. A Civil War veteran brought his eagle to the stadium during the game as a good luck charm. He had found the eagle on the battlefield and kept it ever since.
The eagle broke free and circled the field as fate would have it. While the eagle circled the area, Auburn went the length of the field and into the endzone for a game-winning drive. Obviously, fans were ecstatic and began chanting "War Eagle!" and that is exactly how this tradition started.
It's now been part of Auburn's culture for over 100 years. Now we use "war eagle" as a "hello," "congrats," and always "we believe in Auburn and love it!"
