The Begining of the 'All Auburn All Orange' Campaign 

"Wear your Orange," exclaimed Coach Tuberville to the Auburn Nation at the end of the weekly television show, the Auburn Football Review in September 2000. Tuberville had just beaten the Ole Miss Rebels in Oxford for the very first time since becoming Auburn's head football coach and now the real test awaited, LSU. The Auburn Family responded as a sea of orange greeted the Tiger Nation as Auburn entered the nationally televised game against LSU with an eight-game home SEC losing streak on its back.

1988: LSU 7 Auburn 6 - The 'Earthquake' game  

LSU scored with 1:41 remaining to down fourth-ranked Auburn, 7-6. The noise from the Tiger Stadium crowd registered on a campus seismograph, thus earning the contest the title of "Earthquake Game."

1994: Auburn 30 LSU 26 - The 'Interception' game 

Auburn returned three of its five fourth-quarter interceptions for touchdowns to rally from a two-touchdown deficit and win 30-26. Auburn and LSU fans alike still recall the "Interception Game."

1995: LSU 12 Auburn 6 - The 'Bring Back The Magic' game 

Wearing the traditional white jerseys at home for the first time in 13 years, LSU stunned fifth-ranked Auburn, 12-6, when Troy Twillie intercepted Patrick Nix's 11-yard pass into the end zone with no time remaining. The 1997 LSU media guide referred to this game under the heading "Bring Back The Magic."

1996: Auburn 19 LSU 15 - 'The Night The Barn Burned' game 

"The Night The Barn Burned" will long be remembered on the Plains. As the old Auburn Sports Arena burned just outside Jordan-Hare Stadium, LSU defeated Auburn 19-15. After missing three field goals and an extra point, Auburn cut LSU's lead to 17-15 with :38 remaining, but Jon Cooley's two-point pass attempt was picked off by Raion Hill, who returned it the other way for two points.

In 2000, A New Auburn Tiger Football Tradition Began: The Pre-game Flight of War Eagle 

Beginning the 2000 football season, Tiger began a new and wonderful tradition in all of modern-day college football athletics by making flights high above Jordan-Hare Stadium before home football games . With Tiger's retirement in 2006, the pre-flight tradition has been passed to Nova and Spirit. Today, as Nova, War Eagle VII, or Spirit, gracefully circles the stadium, Auburn fans cry out 'Warrrrrrrrrrr Eagle - Hey!' as the symbol of Auburn University lands determinedly at midfield as an unwavering icon of the Auburn Spirit. (In the photo above, Tiger or WAR EAGLE VI flys high over the Auburn faithful at the 2005 Iron Bowl.)

2004: Auburn 10 LSU 9 - 'The Extra Point Game' 

With the threat of Hurricane Ivan looming, members of the Auburn football team spent Wednesday though Friday nights in hotels as the Auburn University campus was closed, but the game went on as scheduled. The seemingly automatic extra point proved to be a challenge for both teams, but a second chance for Auburn allowed the Tigers to emerge with a 10-9 win in "The Extra Point Game." LSU missed the PAT after its first-quarter touchdown, but still led 9-3 late in the game. After Courtney Taylor hauled in a 16-yard score with just 1:14 left to tie the score, Auburn missed its extra point. An LSU personal foul gave John Vaughn a second chance, and he delivered the winning point.

2005: LSU 20 Auburn 17 - 'The Upright' game 

The first overtime game between the two teams was won by LSU, 20-17, when John Vaughn's 39-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. A 30-yard field goal by LSU's Chris Jackson to start the overtime turned out to be the winning points. Jackson forced overtime with a 44-yard field goal with just 1:40 left, moments after Auburn had taken a 17-14 lead on a 5-yard pass from Brandon Cox to Anthony Mix on fourth down with 4:52 left.

2006: Auburn 7 LSU 3 

In a battle between two top-10 teams, Brandon Cox's 1-yard quarterback sneak in the third quarter was the only touchdown in a 7-3 Auburn victory. No. 3 Auburn held off two late scoring chances for No. 6 LSU, as Eric Brock ended one drive by tipping away a fourth-down pass, then tackled Craig Davis on the 4-yard line on the game's final play to preserve the victory.

2007: LSU 30 Auburn 24 

Matt Flynn hit Demetrius Byrd with a 22-yard scoring pass with just one second left to lift No. 5 LSU to a 30-24 victory over No. 18 Auburn. Brandon Cox had connected with Rodgeriqus Smith on a 3-yard scoring pass with just 3:21 left to give Auburn a 24-23 lead before Flynn's pass capped a 58-yard game-winning drive.

Auburn vs. Georgia: The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry 

Auburn and Georgia have met 111 times, as of 2007, in what is known as 'the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry' in the sport of college football. The Auburn-Georgia rivalry is unlike the annual contest between Auburn and Alabama; It is a true competitive interstate civil war, brother vs. brother. Where as the Iron Bowl is about setting an annual family dispute. Of Auburn's major rivals whose games were once played at neutral sites, Georgia is the ONLY school to come to Auburn without argument.
