It’s also about becoming part of a community with traditions that have been passed down for generations.Here’s something many newcomers accidentally get wrong… Auburn’s teams are the Tigers—not the Eagles.So why does everyone say…“War Eagle!”That’s because War Eagle is Auburn’s battle cry, while the athletic teams are the Auburn Tigers.It’s one of those little details that longtime Auburn fans immediately recognize, and it’s part of what makes Auburn so unique.As an Auburn University graduate who’s lived in the area since 1988 and has been helping buyers and sellers for over 20 years, I enjoy sharing traditions like these with families relocatin...
