Download or read book A Tiger Walk Through History written by Paul Hemphill and published by Pebble Hill Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and fascinating book, noted writer and Auburn alum Paul Hemphill tells the story of the progress of Auburn from that first game coached by Auburn legend George Petrie through the team’s growth and development into the national force it is today. Hemphill records the many highs and occasional lows, and the heartbreak and jubilation each caused, noting the standouts great and small on the way. A Tiger Walk through History contains 172 photographs, many of them rare and surprising. The text and photos capture the many great players and coaches in the Auburn football experience: Auburn’s first bowl appearance in 1936; coaching eras of innovative football genius John Heisman, after whom the Heisman trophy is named; “Iron Mike” Donahue; Ralph “Shug” Jordan, who brought Auburn its first national championship in 1957; Pat Dye, Terry Bowden, and present coach Tommy Tuberville; Auburn’s two Heisman trophy winners Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson; and victories over rivals Alabama and Georgia. The 2007-2008 season is highlighted, including the sixth straight win over Alabama and a bowl victory over Clemson. As the game has grown, Auburn and its team have grown with it, and Auburn now ranks as a perennial power both in its conference and in the nation. Vince Dooley states in his foreword that “beyond the famous coaches and players and their heroics on behalf of the Orange and Blue, A Tiger Walk through History is also about time-honored traditions—rallying cries like ‘Sullivan-to-Beasley’ and ‘Punt Bama Punt’ and ‘Rolling Toomer’s Corner’—that echo in resounding fashion from the pages of Paul Hemphill’s remarkable book.” No fan, whether casual or devoted, can afford to miss this riveting account of the Plainsmen’s journey from the very beginning to today, which is the record of a great university as well as the story of the development of a great football team.

Download or read book Teammates for Life written by Jeff Miller and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who cheers for the underdog will be enthralled by the story of Auburn’s 1972 football team. The Tigers were predicted to drop into the bottom half of the Southeastern Conference standings after losing quarterback Pat Sullivan, who won the 1971 Heisman Trophy, and All-American receiver Terry Beasley. Going into their opening game, they had only five offensive plays. Auburn proved its critics wrong all year long, capping an unbelievable season with a jaw-dropping upset of Alabama, returning two blocked punts for touchdowns in the game’s closing minutes. Instead of finishing in sixth place in the SEC, the team finished fifth—in the country! The Amazin’s, as they were nicknamed, won as a result of the bonds they formed during grueling winter workouts and August two-a-day practices under the unforgiving Alabama sun. Fifty years later, the Amazin’s still find strength in each other, facing new challenges as teammates for life. If you cherish Auburn football, great rivalries, and want to learn how to apply lessons from the gridiron to everyday life, then you’ll love this inspiring story of the university’s most unforgettable team—then and now.

The answers they find will take you to the beating heart of why it's always great to be an Auburn Tiger.

All you need now is a drink and some Guthrie's." --Will Collier, co-author of The Uncivil War: Alabama vs Auburn, 1981-1994

Book excerpt: On December 2, 1989, the undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide did something they'd sworn they'd never do: They came to Auburn to play the Iron Bowl. How it happened, after years of threats and lawsuits and refusals to even discuss the possibility, is a story as riveting as the game that unfolded on the field that Saturday afternoon. Van Allen Plexico and John Ringer, co-hosts of the AU Wishbone Podcast, trace the greatest rivalry in football from its dawning in Birmingham to the epic showdown on the Plains. Along the way they expose the roots of the animosity between the two universities, the numerous ways Alabama has tried to get its way in every dispute with Auburn--and the consequences when they don't. Then they break down the game itself--what happened, play-by-play, how and why--from Tiger Walk to Toomer's Corner, and beyond. Some said it would never happen. On December 2, 1989, it did happen. This is the complete story of that day--possibly the greatest day in Auburn football history--as only the AU Wishbone can tell it.
