Thank You Tiger (War Eagle VI)

I graduated from Auburn University, so I am supposed to believe that Auburn's mascot is the coolest mascot ever.  But in all honesty, I think I would believe that if I had never stepped foot on the rolling plains of Dixie.  Actually Auburn has two mascots, so to speak.  We are the Tigers, but we have an Eagle that is responsible for our battle cry "War Eagle!"  From an earlier entry, legend says that Auburn's eagle, named Tiger, was first brought to Auburn by a Confederate soldier who found himself and a baby eagle to be the only survivors on a battlefield.  Returning home to Auburn with the little eagle, the soldier named him Tiger, and the bird grew and became a mighty eagle who flew over the stadium during football games.  And Auburn has had an eagle named Tiger ever since.  Tiger IV served Auburn for 20 years and retired last year.  This video celebrates her last flight over Jordan Hare stadium in 2006.
