Auburn Sports Made It Rain This Week

WRAS noticed Auburn students wearing these shirts at the AU-SPUAT basketball game this weekend and all of Auburn athletics followed suit. Quick recap of the past week's action...
1. Won the men's and women's SEC Championships in swimming and diving, which was the 12th straight for the men and 6th overall for the women,
2. Beat SPUAT in men's basketball 88-76, fueled by great performances by Quan Prowell, Lucas Hargrove and the rest of the never say die Tigers,
3. Men's baseball won three straight over ETSU (going for the sweep today),
4. Women's softball improved to 10-1,
5. Men's golf shot a combined 19-under 269 to win The John Burns Intercollegiate,
6. Women's tennis won two matches to improve to 8-2, and
7. Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville accepted The James E. Foy-ODK Sportsmanship Award, given each year to the winner of the Iron Bowl, telling the announced crowd of 10,800 at the men's basketball game, "Regardless of what you hear and read, we will have a football team next year. We've won six and we're working on seven. We want to thank all of the Auburn family, the 2007 football team, the seniors, they won 50 games in five years, and were the third (straight) group of seniors that never lost to Alabama."
There is a lot of excitement surrounding Auburn's athletic teams and deservedly so as they are making us proud on and off the field. Combine all of this with one of the most anticipated spring practices in recent memory for the football team and WRAS is expecting 2008 to be one of the best year's in Auburn history.
