After 18 months of preparation and a meticulous on-site review, East Alabama Medical Center is now stroke-certified, and its leader calls the achievement a dream come true. “Having a certified stroke program is something we have dreamed about for years,” said Laura Grill, president and CEO of East Alabama Health, in a press release. “We want to be the provider of choice for our community and achieving this designation means fewer patients have to go outside of this region to receive top-notch stroke care.”

Auburn baseball fans were not vengeful in the slightest that their SEC West counterpart Ole Miss, who knocked them off in their second-to-last game in the postseason, won the 2022 College World Series. AU fans were instead supportive of the Rebels, who, despite facing Auburn across all sports every year...

Auburn’s Thicc King has been crowned. Sonny DiChiara joined some royal company Monday as he became the third player in Auburn history -- and the second of the Butch Thompson era -- to earn consensus All-America honors on the Plains.

Auburn edge rusher Colby Wooden is in line for a big season.

It will be strange to see this Auburn offense without Bo Nix at the helm. The former blue-chip quarterback and legacy was the starter since 2019 but transferred to Oregon this offseason. Quarterback is just one question facing a Tigers team that finished with a 6-7 record a year. That’s not going to cut it at Auburn, and Bryan Harsin finds himself on the hot seat yet again after surviving a long offseason in which many at the school seemed to want him out after only one season. Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter form a prolific duo at running back, but there are questions everywhere else offensively and the defense returns only five starters. The schedule starts off somewhat slow but gets very difficult later on.
