Ever wonder why we yell “War Eagle!” but call ourselves the Tigers? Let’s dive into one of Auburn University’s most iconic traditions—our nickname!Auburn University’s nickname is as fierce as our school spirit—the Tigers. We’ve proudly been known as the Auburn Tigers since our first football game against the Georgia Bulldogs in 1892.

We’re never referred to as...
