Have y’all heard the story of how Auburn got their third mascot?

I’ll tell you the story
The year was 1856...
The Auburn Tiger Plainsmen were off to an 0 and 3 start. The fourth game against the plain old Tigers from LSU wasn’t going well and all confidence seemed lost.
Just then, the shadow of large wings darkened the field and screech could be heard from high above. Someone said, “Look, it’s an eagle!”
Squinting into the blinding sun, Coach Cletus Delroy Spuckler raised his hand to shield his eyes and shouted “Whar? ...Whar eagle?”
Auburn went on to lose that game but the legend lives on
