Gallntfox Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 why does Auburn scream War Eagle anyways when they are the Tigers? The History of War Eagle Waaaaar Eagle! Is the cry that is heard from the fans in Jordan-Hare Stadium, alumni gatherings or as Auburn students greet each other. It is a symbol of the Auburn spirit and continues to bind Auburn men and women of all ages. Although several stories of Auburn 's battle cry have been passed down through the years, the true origin is anyone's guess. The most popular story dates back to the first time Auburn met Georgia on the football field in 1892 and centers around a spectator who was a veteran of the Civil War. In the stands with him that day was an eagle the old soldier had found on a battlefield during the war. He had kept it as a pet for almost 30 years. According to witnesses, the eagle suddenly broke free and began majestically circling the playing field. As the eagle soared, Auburn began a steady march toward the Georgia end zone for a thrilling victory. Elated at their team's play and taking the bird's presence as an omen of success, Auburn students and fans began to yell "War Eagle" to spur on their team. At the game's end, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died. But the battle cry "War Eagle" lived on to become a symbol of the proud Auburn spirit. The 1914 contest with the Carlisle Indians provides another story. The toughest player on the Indians' team was a tackle named Bald Eagle. Trying to tire the big man, Auburn began to run play after play at his position. Without even huddling, the Auburn quarterback would yell "Bald Eagle," letting the rest of the team know that the play would be run at the imposing defensive man. Spectators, however, thought the quarterback was saying "War Eagle," and in unison, they began to chant the resounding cry. There is another story surrounding the 1914 Carlisle game. Each time the Indians had scored during the season, fans and the Carlisle players yelled, "War Eagle." But on this particular afternoon, it was Auburn's own Lucy Hairston who adopted the battle cry as he danced across the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. Another version of the War Eagle story comes from Indian lore. Legend says "War Eagle" was the name given to the large golden eagle by the Plains Indians because the eagle furnished feathers for use in their war bonnets. The rarest version of the origin of the "War Eagle" cry grew from a 1913 pep rally at Langdon Hall where students had gathered the day before the Georgia football game. Cheerleader Gus Graydon told the crowd, "If we are going to win this game, we'll have to get out there and fight, because this means war." During the frenzy, another student, E. T. Enslen, dressed in his military uniform, noticed something had dropped from his hat. Bending down, he saw it was the metal emblem of an eagle that had been loosened while he cheered. Someone asked him what he had found, and Enslen loudly replied, "It's a War Eagle!" History was made as the new cry echoed throughout the stadium the next day as Auburn battled Georgia. No one knows which of these stories is the most credible. While the origin of the "War Eagle" cry is subject to some question, the actual presence of Auburn's eagle has been a steady presence through the succession of six Golden Eagles and will continue with the most recent, "Tiger" or "War Eagle VI" ad as always, the soaring spirit of Auburn will be embodied in the voices of its students as they echo that unique cry of victory...

Riggo-toni Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Seeing posts like this makes me wish we had some kind of mechanism in place to prevent people with fewer than 100 posts starting any new threads... Pardon my ranting, but it saddens me how our great site is being diluted by hit and run know-nothings spouting unsupportable mindless dribble.

skinsmania123 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I doubt your girlfriend even showed up, just as much as I doubt Campbell will do anything for two years but listen to plays through a headset and stare at the field. And if he has to actually get on the field before 2 years, it would be because Brunell and Ramsey are down, and we are desperate. Didn't the fact that the Skins refused to deal Ramsey serve as a hint that maybe he was their backup to Brunell? Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
