TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Coming off a tough loss at Neville Arena against No. 1 South Carolina, Auburn traveled to Tuscaloosa to face off against rivals Alabama. Despite a start to the game that saw the two teams go toe to toe, the Tigers could not match up against the Crimson Tide in a 69-46 loss.

Alabama (22-3, 12-0 SEC) defeated Auburn (17-8, 7-5 SEC) on Saturday in Neville Arena. It was an all-too-familiar situation for Auburn.

Despite leading for twenty-five minutes of the game, Auburn could not hold off the Tide, who went on an 11-to-5 run to finish the game.
AUBURN, Ala. – Another Suni Lee masterclass helped guide Auburn past another pack of Tigers.
This upcoming June will be the sixth anniversary of what I personally think is one of the funniest moments in all of hip hop. In 2017, Lil Yachty had to get on Instagram and publicly apologize for how utterly terrible his debut album was. With unbearable and low effort projects like Teenage Emotions and Michigan Boat Boy, it seemed like Lil Yachty’s career was slowly and steadily tanking, especially when you consider that it began around the peak of the SoundCloud era. Given that most budding artists from this time have careers which slowly devolved into hollow shells of their past iconography, it seemed as if Yachty was doomed to stray down this path. Now take in every bit of information I just said. Consider that we’re talking about a man who has hit rock bottom multiple times as a musician, to the point where a good chunk of people recognize him for his internet personality rather than his actual music. Would you believe me if I told you he created one of the best rock albums of the 2020’s? If you don’t, you should go ahead and listen to his newest album because Let’s Start Here is showing us a side of Yachty that we’ve never seen executed before in music. His die hard fans already knew that he took a liking to artists such as Tame Impala and Pink Floyd, yet his pop rap dominated discography showed no sign of his artistic direction progressing into psychedelic rock. However, Let’s Start Here has been out for about two weeks and it’s already unanimously agreed that this is his best piece of work. Based on first impressions of the album you might think that it would tend to drag due to its nearly hour long runtime, but the impeccable sequencing of Let’s Start Here will keep you engaged for the entire fifty seven minutes. The ratio of chiller songs to more energetic ones is balanced beautifully throughout the track list, and the sheer quality in the production from track to track takes the listener on a roller coaster of emotions. It begins with the "BLACK seminole.," a seven minute long track with enchanting vocals and mesmerizing chords. After this grandiose intro, the listener is met with the "ride-" and "running out of time," two stellar songs that calm down the overall energy of the album to a more relaxed sound. These first few songs pretty much demonstrate how the album is structured entirely. Now I will admit that not every song on Let’s Start Here is a masterpiece as there are a couple of bland moments sprinkled throughout the track list, however the climaxes of this project completely nullify them.

The WAEVE – The WAEVE – February 3, 2022
After a tough 46-43 loss at the hands of the Tennessee Volunteers, another tough road test lies ahead for the Auburn Tigers (17-6, 7-3 SEC).
The Auburn Tigers (13-9 SEC: 3-7) looked to build off a three-game win-streak against the Arkansas Razorbacks (18-7 SEC: 5-5), a win would have been the first four-game SEC win streak since the 2015-16 season.
