Good morning, Auburn.

Auburn University’s Student Government Association held its annual Hey Day event (Oct.

16th) that invited students, faculty, and the Auburn Family to wear name tags and greet each other; the event featured a live band, pep rally, appearances by WEGL 91.1 FM, and free merchandise (reflecting a longstanding tradition since World War II).

Auburn University’s Alumni Association posted an article stating that Coach Shug Jordan first wore a houndstooth hat before Coach Bear Bryant made it famous—Kathy Moates, a 1973 alum who kept the hat after the 1969 Iron Bowl, recalled the detail—and the claim adds a new twist to a long-held sports tradition.

After a 20-10 loss to Georgia, Auburn football is in trouble as coach Hugh Freeze blasted a missed call—one that cost the team a chance to lead—and running back Damari Alston has left the team; they will play Missouri tonight at Jordan-Hare Stadium while questions about Freeze’s future linger. Auburn basketball returned from an overtime loss to Oklahoma State and is now adjusting under new leadership as it works to rebuild its program.
