Orange Is Our Color: The Tuberville Years Through Navy-tinted Glasses
Orange Is Our Color is the story of Auburn Football in the
Tuberville era. The Tuberville decade’s impact on the Auburn
Family is still active and visible today.
Tuberville’s teams won 85 games, including an incredible run of
50 wins over five seasons, with one perfect season and an SEC
championship. The Tuberville decade is also a time when the
Auburn Family came together to demonstrate the remarkable
unity of the Auburn Spirit.
Orange Is Our Color celebrates both Auburn’s success on the
field, and the experience of being an Auburn fan, with stories of
tailgating triumphs, road-game misadventures and near
ejections from Jordan-Hare Stadium.
From Jetgate, to “Fear the Thumb,” the Tuberville decade is a
part of the Auburn Family’s identity. The meaningfulness of these events is why the Tuberville era still matters. The lasting impact of the trials and the triumphs is why, even today, Orange Is Our Color.
