Two more alternate locations available Monday night for Auburn Tigers:
  • The chef of The Warren City Club, Auburn grad William Taylor, says they will be open for BCS viewing Monday night.  William tells us that all football fans are welcome...adding "we will have tissues and maps back to Florida for any Seminole fans..."  (818 N.

Our regular viewing locations (all Auburn Tiger owned) are always ALL IN, so they are as excited about Monday's game as we are - what a season! As always, we are very grateful to them for their continued and AUmazing support, season-after-season, of the club and our Auburn Family.  Thanks, too, to William and Will for reaching out on additional locations for Monday. War Eagle to all of you!

For the metro areas we haven't covered:  As with three years ago, every bar across the greater Atlanta metro area is expected to be showing this game and looking for business from Auburn Tigers. We are very certain that with more than 23,000 alumni in the Atlanta metro area (well over 60,000 within a 100mi radius of downtown Atlanta), AU fans will outnumber any from FSU. We view this as an AUsome opportunity to really make our strong presence known across the metro area - so wear your Auburn gear and let's cheer our Tigers to a victory in Pasadena!!

Some Memorable Moments of Auburn BCS Zen

A different type of War Eagle flight. Nova the Eagle tweeted this photo on Saturday.

Auburn's War Eagle VII traveled to California in style aboard a chartered Southwest Air passenger plane.

While some might wonder if Nova chose a view from the cockpit, word is he had a front-row seat! 


Meanwhile, from one of our westbound Atlanta Tigers...this photo tweeted from 35,000 feet. The flight from Atlanta had some Auburn Elite service with these special napkins. Andy Campbell told us there were none for FSU.


What is Aubie planning to do with that toilet paper and why is he being interrogated??!! Click the image to find out.

(And, NO, he wasn't arrested for rolling the palm trees at the Rose Bowl)

The BEST 2014 BCS Championship Video - Auburn vs Noles


And, then there's this video from our friend and fellow Auburn grad Dave Williamson.  He's the stand-up comic who delivered some big laughs at our event at the Punchline Comedy Club this Summer.  Is this fan reaction to getting BCS tickets unique to Dave... or is he just the only one who made a video with a soundtrack??!!! LOL! War Eagle Dave! 
And WAR EAGLE Auburn Tigers!
