Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 7th of June.
Good morning, Auburn.
🎓 Education
Auburn University is facing a lawsuit by employee Henry Moreman who claims his demotion was due to racial discrimination.
The jury trial is set for December 2026 — his demotion restricts him from holding supervisory roles until 2029 — and the university did not comment on the pending litigation.
🏈 Sports
At Legion Field on November 30, 1985, Alabama beat Auburn 25-23 when Tiffin's 52-yard field goal ended a thrilling Iron Bowl marked by four lead changes & dramatic plays such as Gene Jelks' 74-yard touchdown run.
The game, which featured scoring drives from both teams and a last-second call that gave Alabama the win, remains one of the most unforgettable finishes in the rivalry & is still remembered by fans today.
Auburn baseball star Ike Irish has used his walkup song (Birds Flying High) to boost fans and teammates at Plainsman Park, a tradition begun by his teammates when he was in a slump.
Renovations and extra seating added this season increased the crowd’s energy during regionals as the Tigers prepare for the super regionals.
Auburn Tigers will host Coastal Carolina tonight at Plainsman Park in a best-of-three series to decide a College World Series berth — the Tigers, fresh off clinching their fourth regional championship, aim to return to Omaha for the first time since 2022.
Coastal Carolina, riding a 21-game win streak, will challenge Auburn — the series starts at 8:00 p.m.
Auburn coach Hugh Freeze finished with an 11-14 record over two seasons (6-7 in his first season with a Music City Bowl loss and 5-7 in his second season marked by several close defeats).
Analysts compared his record with other late 2022 hires (including coaches at Georgia Tech and Colorado) to assess if a turnaround in Year 3 is overdue.
