What led to the iconic photo of Uga V and the Auburn player?
In 1996, a photographer for the Montgomery Advertiser snapped a picture that is somewhat of a legend in the world of college football. The image shows Uga V, the University of Georgia’s live bulldog mascot, lunging toward an Auburn University football player during a game. The photograph isn’t just an unforgettable image ; it speaks to the depth of the rivalry between the two teams. The annual matchup is famously referred to as the "Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry." The teams first went head-to-head on the football field more than 130 years ago, on February 20, 1892. Watch this video to hear the story behind the photo of Uga and the Auburn player. It’s been 30 years since that picture was taken, and Charles Seiler, the man holding Uga’s leash, told USA TODAY what led to that historic moment and what he says is the “most famous” picture of himself. Back in 1996, football stadiums didn’t have jumbotrons. So, to see the play, Seiler and Uga V had to move closer to the field to follow the action. “It was a long play,” Seiler says. “An Auburn player made a good play.

Pat Dye: The Legendary Coach Who Resurrected Auburn Football History
When Pat Dye arrived on the Plains in 1981, Auburn University had captured just one Southeastern Conference title in the previous 48 years. Over the next decade, Dye dismantled that narrative, building a powerhouse that claimed four SEC championships and firmly established the Tigers as a national force. From his All-American playing days at Georgia to his transformative tenure as Auburn’s head coach and athletic director, Dye’s footprint on college football remains indelible.

Jessica Peterson's epic performance powers Auburn over Southern Miss
Auburn women's basketball picked up its second win of the 2026-27 season on Thursday by riding a hot hand. Miami transfer forward Jessica Peterson logged her first double-double in an Auburn (2-0) uniform, grabbing an impressive 19 rebounds and scoring 14 points on 67% shooting in the Tigers' 56-48 win over Southern Miss (1-1) inside Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama. Peterson set the tone in the 1st quarter and secured the win for Auburn in the final frame. Peterson scored five points in the 1st quarter, going 2-for-2 from the field and 1-for-1 from the free-throw line. In the 4th quarter, she scored six points and secured seven rebounds. Auburn head coach Larry Vickers believes that Peterson lived up to the expectations he set for her in the Tigers' win. “That’s what we brought her here to do: be a senior, be a leader, somebody who’s been in these close games.

Auburn shot just 33% from the field and committed 21 turnovers. Danielle Osho and Ja'Mia Harris joined Peterson in reaching double-digit point totals; however, neither player shot
