For any of our readers, I want to make this site a space where we can all talk together. Not just as fans of Auburn Athletics, but as people in our greater community. In the coming days or weeks, I imagine COVID-19 will spread to our neighborhood. I won’t predict to know when or how it will affect us, but I truly believe the more we lean on each other (well... not physically) the better off we will be.

The plan will be to provide links and share information as it pertains to Auburn and the East Alabama community on this page. Feel free to use the comments section to share updates, talk, vent, or as a way to stay sane. We’ll be around, too.

War Eagle everyone.
