News, Opinionathletics

By: Van Cathcart III If you from the South, you know that football is life for most of us. Either you know a die-hard fan, or you are one yourself.

The firing came less than 48 hours after the Tigers lost to Arkansas at home by 14 points. The team dropped to 3-5 on the season and is in danger of not getting to participate in a Bowl Game at the end of the year, the first time this will have happened since 2012. Harsin ends his tenure at Auburn with a 9-12 record, a less-than-ideal record when you are playing in the powerhouse that is the SEC. “President [Christopher] Roberts…

News, Sportsathletics, Coronavirus

By: Dalton Kimbro AUM junior and elementary education major Lucy Anthony As the pandemic began to change the world in March of 2020, many athletes had no idea that their sports were about to drastically change in the very near future. From masking, to testing and shortened seasons, many Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) athletes had a much different college athletic experience than they expected. “We had to test before each meet and were only allowed to take our masks off during the actual races,” said junior elementary education major and cross country runner Lucy Anthony.

Sportsathletics, basketball

BY: Randy Dunn The Lady Warhawks had a very rough start and finish to this season. After finishing 12-16 and having some sparks of great play, they finished the 2020 season 2-13.

The protocols and rules coming into play limited the Warhawks when it came to practicing and being able to become more solid as a team. Last year, the Warhawks had many junior and senior leaders who knew how to win when games got tough and close. Unfortunately, this year this team was noticeably young and…
