And when? SAMINDA GUNATHILAKE FROM SRI LANKA (BME Mechanical Engineering) explains: “War Eagle is a way you can just say ‘hey’ or ‘hello.’ As an Auburn student, if you see another Auburn fan anywhere in the

fan calling ‘War Eagle’ is a great thing to hear It’s also our battle cry or war chant at football games: the crowd will shout ‘Warrrrrrrrrrrr Eagle!’” All Auburn students love to cheer on our football team, the Auburn Tigers Entertainment at the games isn’t provided only by the players – you can also enjoy spectacular performances by Auburn University’s marching band and watch the famous
