Where does War Eagle Come From?
The battle cry of the Auburn Tigers, "War Eagle!" is a storied phrase that has become synonymous with the university and its legendary football team. But what is the origins of this iconic chant?
Early beginnings
The Auburn Tigers did not always chant "War Eagle." In fact, the university’s first unofficial battle cry was "Bully Pulpit." However, according to Aubie, Auburn’s mascot, the cry of a war eagle flew overhead during the university’s 1892 football game against the University of Georgia, and a cheer of "War Eagle" erupts from the crowd as the team claimed victory. From that day forward, War Eagle! would become the standard battle cry for the Tigers.
Early accounts**
* **Fanciulli Brothers’ version**: In the early years, the legend says the cry of the eagle referred to a Bald Eagle and its piercing **squawking** (ref to sound) from above when Auburn was set to defend against Georgia during a intense football game.
* **Herb Holland’s account** (former Sports Director):
War Eagle **doesnt originate from Alabama Native bird, but came from **University of Southern Mississippi Coach Gaston Picket**, a friend to Coach Cumberland, Auburn Tigers head in the late 1892, when University of Virginia visited the Tiger stadium where both teams wore uniforms made of **Wolverene’s Eagle design**, then in 1886 he used this Cry on this battle Cry**
* Historical Recordings :
Record from the 1973 match with the Ohio State, we can conclude it could have been made for their fight against Mississippi College football in 1962 game between Auburn.
**Who coined the War Eagle?
There are differing opinions regarding who coined the **war eagle** cheer. Among the most plausible accounts:
– **Shug** (Fenelon Trammell a friend on a train- 4 days before Game Georgia match on October 1**,1892.)
– Some point to James Rakestraw
* Why is it possible it? In the story: After an Auburn War eagle takes the field prior to home game in Jordan Hatcher’s book,”It War Eagles Forever ( 1982 ” The school was already preparing a banner and a display.
