Its not their original, hell i dont even think its there second mascot.....
So is there a significance to holding on to Tigers? Not to mention you have Clemson and LSU as prominent "tigers"
Just seems they would be more apt to discsrd the name.

Flame away

Edit..plus war eagle is bad arse and unique. And theybuse that mascot for pregame. Go figure

You do know that Clemson stole our mascot and our colors. Heisman took both from Auburn when he started Clemson's program. Read a book.

War Eagle is a battle cry, not a mascot... like Hail State, Woo Pig Sooie, Gig em Aggies, etc.

Plainsmen or whatever is original and would be cooler than Tigers.

Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain...

The word "tigers" appears once in that poem, but the Loveliest Village people didn't read the whole thing, or they would have known the word "tide" appears twice.

Doesn't make sense. Mascot is a Tiger. War cry should be "Roar Damn Tiger!". They have two mascots from an outsiders perspective.
