- Auburn University mascot "Spirit", an American Bald Eagle, crashed into a window and buzzed the crowd a couple of times during his pre-game flight on 9-10-11 vs. Mississippi State University. The bird recovered, but he's listed as questionable for next week.
I'm sorry, i had a couple drinks the night before
Spirit shook it off and continued her flight! That’s my girl! War Eagle 🦅
"Spirit" must have had some spirits at the pre-gam tailgate.
Favorite part is at 0:34 where he dive-bombs and terrifies part of the crowd
Spirit retired today and took her final flight today. She’s 25 years old and the average life expectancy for captive eagles is 16.5 yrs.. War Eagle, Spirit!!!
Love respectful fans of other teams. Really appreciate fans like you. Go Dawgs!
Thank you for posting this - it's a beautiful view of Spirit's flight! Even with his "accident" with the window, he still made a beautiful flight! (I sure hope he is OK)
Despite Spirit's run-in with the window, this was the loudest "War Eagle" cheer I've heard while a student at AU.
I was at the game. I am not an Auburn fan but think it is an awesome tradition. I hated to see the Eagle hit the glass and was in no way amused. I am thankful no one was hurt and do hope that the Eagle will be able to continue its performance for many games to come.
The crowd noise is awesome to remix just randomly hitting any number 1-10
In retrospect, this was the best Eagle flight there’s ever been! I was at this game.
RIP Tiger... You get to fly for the Most High now. Bama fan to my heart, but you were totally majestic sight to see flying around the stadium from either side. War the REAL Eagle!
Thank you! That’s a great way to,remember it. War Damn Bald Eagle!
Before bashing anything about this video, take a few minutes and read about the program that cares for these birds. These birds were rehabilitated because they were not releasable back into the wild. Since most of you will be too lazy, search their website Southeastern Raptor Center in Auburn, AL.
@Z71Ranger Before another eagle gets killed? Please tell me when Auburn killed an eagle. Also, all the eagles/birds in captivity at the Raptor Center are there because they have some condition that prevents them from thriving in the wild. If we released all the birds they would certainly die.
Perhaps you should try to do a little research before spouting off.
Reading this comment by a Georiga fan and then looking at all the comments by the Bammers on this video really shows why I respect UGA much, much more than Alabama. At least y'all have some classy fans. Thank you.
Auburn has the most exciting pregame show of all time!
It really gets the fans ALL IN
For those who don't know, that's Auburn's backup Eagle. The normal eagle(golden eagle) was unable to fly that day. This bird almost did the same thing the game before(Utah State). I know because I was there.
The power of windex!
@Kippeneuker69 That's actually not our mascot... Aubie the tiger is. And this isn't the usual eagle... they chose a bald eagle (Spirit) as a one-time thing for 9/11. War Eagle VII is our eagle, and it is a golden eagle
lol at the people ducking when he went near the upper deck
The bird looks as drunk as the students. I hope he pooped on the fans as he flew over. haha
DAMN! HE FINISHED THE MISSION STILL! CONCUSED!
I'm a UGA fan, but think this is a great tradition. Glad he didn't get hurt! I think the two mascot thing is a little odd but I know how it started years ago. I really think you should dump Aubie because you're all much more passionate about the War Eagle chant., but if you want two mascots, what the hell. Maybe we should add a kitten to our mascot lineup since we've been playing like one, but we did beat the Gators today.
@jamiekmentel Yes. Alabama is currently on probation because of the textbook scandal. It extended your probation by 3 years, and the sentence was handed down two years ago.
Probation does not mean scholarship limitation or post season ban. Perhaps that's why you are confused.
As far as the ongoing investigation - if the NCAA hasn't done anything by now it won't happen. Auburn reported the Cam stuff over a year ago.
Even he knows that Auburn will never have another national championship after Cam Newton.
His name was that close to being tragically ironic
The eagle is not the mascot, The tigers, Aubie is the mascot. The eagle is a tradition.
Why is auburn the most hated on team ever? Honestly pay respect where respect is due and 17 games in a row is awesome it will end soon but its better than anybody else right now
I guess you could say that this really broke their spirit.
what the hell are you talking about? Why would we dump Aubie ... Aubie is easily the best mascot in the country and has 7 mascot National Championships that would be the stupidest thing to do
@youthguy418 Auburn is actually represented by a Golden Eagle, but the bald eagle flies sometimes.
Looks like he's trying to get to the concession stand.
spirit is awesome. that's so freaky that he ran into the window
:) At 0:50 how it turns down as if it was a jet and it gets level and head towards the run way. Cool
when did eagles get involved with tigers?
That was sarcasm. I know your record this year. I'm moving on. Good luck with your new coach search.
@treach42 I think PETAs official response was something like "Rabble,rabble, rabble, nom,nom,nom, scooby dooby, yabba dabba Dooooo!"
Lmao! The bird is drunk.
Fights back like a champion just like his tigers
We are the AUBURN TIGERS! We do not have two mascots! WAR EAGLE is our battle cry.
what if you were sitting in the box when the eagle go closer to the window......i can only imagine its like that end scene from Jaws 3 when the shark gets close to the window....
Idiots saying stupid bird. Flying over rabid fans is stressful for the eagle. They are too majestic for this kind of display.
David Adams STFU
@nortojw1 ... Are you a tide?... Whats with the elephant?ha ha
Aubie is easily the best mascot in the country? No offense, but that's a pretty ridiculous statement. "UGA" is far more famous but you still don't see me making that statement. If you love Aubie, that's fine with me, but I just went to the UGA-Auburn game, and all I heard was "War Eagle", not "Go Tigers". Actually, Jordan-Hare was pretty quiet.
(00:01) This is your mascot. (00:19) This is your mascot on medicinal marijuana.
Any questions? Uh huh, uh huh huh huh huh huhhuhhuhuhuhu.
Can't wait to hear PETA's response!
Ouch. Glad the thing is alright.
Maybe just stick to the normal eagle from now on...
I'm a gator, but respect where it's due. That is cool.
Very glad Spirit seems to be 100%.
The one day I was out on field for veterans appreciation. Landing was awesome though
@tdorman89 notice how i said "one of your mascots." not "the mascot."
@MrAmericanidiot1995 From the video description: "The bird recovered, but he's listed as questionable for next week."
Reading is hard.
Crazy buzzard been drinkin with Pat Dye before the game.
@TheBamaboy1317 Well, in all fairness this Auburn team is playing out of their comfort zone. They really don't kick into high gear 'til they're down by 24 points.
spirit is awesome that's so freaky that he ran into the window
Don't pretend auburn has never been in trouble, The university of aUBURN my deer is number one when it comes to NCAA infractions. THEIRS MY PROF
WHO GOT THE BIRD DRUNK LAST NIGHT?!?!?
Did Harvey Updike have anything to do with this? Was Spirit trying to take out the Cam Newton bag man so he couldn't snitch on the "family"?
@walkdog0530 and plainsman is the school newspaper!
Legend has it she was gronk
I laughed much harder at this than I should have.
i think it's pretty shitty for some Bama fans to get on here and make ridiculous comments....i think it's a beautiful tradition that stands strong at Auburn and it's unfortunate that Spirit did hit the glass but the cool thing is, it didn't stop her! she kept going...pretty damn awesome if you ask me....i'll top my comment off with a Roll Tide though :)
Only at auburn is the mascot as smart as the students....
He looks like he recovered beautifully and gave the crowd something to get excited about...just like his players!!! (rt529) WAR EAGLE BABY!!! (your elephant sucks)...
That's right... it's the nation's symbol. What makes Auburn think they should be represented by a Bald Eagle. Hubris!
That buzzard has been hanging out with Pat Dye!
yeah i think its a bad sign when one of your mascots tries to kill itself before the game but hey, thats just me.
he didn't crash - he was attacking his reflection in the glass - common stupid thing that birds do
@Grantasmagoria
they have two mascots. that's not a crime, nor is being from the south. Is the way we treat animals humane? it's probably not, a lot of the time. the world runs on money rather than morality. However the south isn't any more guilty of that than anywhere else.
@TaylorCrossVet You keep hanging on to that unsupported rumor while Auburn will keep polishing that crystal ball.
no more tailgating for this bird!
@TheBamaboy1317 You do realize that Alabama is currently on probation for providing benefits to players right? You do realize that it was Alabama who was proven to have paid 6 figures for a recruit, right? With Auburn it was nothing more than a blogger throwing out unsupported claims, and the lack of action by the NCAA should tell you just that. Also, keep in mind that Alabama has been on probation for the better part of 15 years now while Auburn has not been in trouble for going on 20.
its auburn, everyone's drunk
More like "War Dumb Eagle"
John Williams STFU
@wegl1983 obviously not too bright on this day haha. Ol Eagle eyes failed LOL Rooooooooooooooooooll Tide Roll!!!
19 second mark on repeat...hahahahaha!!!
@auburnsks Wait! You said AU sucked but you was sucking on your scores. If you suck nothing will be good enough. Can't put 2 and 2 together. So we clearly understand what youre saying.
well i gotta say this was kinda emberassing to us but atleast we aint got the fatest mascot in the NCAA and probation
Too Many Rounds of BeerPong...
Best eagle flight ever!
Roll tide
WAR EAGLE!!! best tradition ever! That eagle was about to EFF SOMEONE UP!!!
that eagle is the shit!! no where will you find ray lewis, patrick willis, and james harrison run full speed into a window and get up and finish the job!! that eagle took the digger and finished his lap!
🇬🇺🇾🇸 🇩🇴🇳🇹 🇼🇴🇷🇷🇾 🇮🇲 🇴🇰
In my opinion the eagle is one of the most beautiful creatures that the Lord created. It is not as stupid as some people think. A person at Jorden-Hare stadium should be able to handle the noise of over 10,000 people. The eagles can not, they are trained to be able to fly over the stadium successfully. So of course there will be times they make a mistake and run into something. I would love to know how many people had been training to do something and not make a mistake to trip and fall. I am not writing to argue with anyone else about what they believe or think. Everyone has their own opinion, and I respect each one. I am a hard core Auburn fan. But that does not mean that I am not proud of the success of other schools athletic programs. I love to see each one have a great season, because two good teams playing against each other would become one great game!
@Grantasmagoria Unbelievably cruel and unnecessary. You clearly have no compassion for those lost that day, and you can't understand in your tiny brain how despicable that comment is. it has NO PLACE in football. You don't like the team, DON'T COMMENT.
This pretty succinctly sums up Auburn football post Cam Newton.
Ive been to every game the past 6 years in jordan hare .... no shit its gonna be quiet were 2 and freakin 8 .... and "Go Tigers" is used in some chants ... and yes Aubie is the best mascot in the country ... if were referring to mascots not live animals ... Aubie wins in Orlando almost every year (check last year) not counting the stupid mascot voting things.
@givinsjl The reason why auburn is the most not hated but DISRESPECTED program in college football is because of cheating. People are sick of cheating and auburn is going down for it PERIOD CHEATING
WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaOOOOHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr Eagle Hey
Concussion prptocal!
Didn't this same bird crash into the goal post at a game recently? Maybe it's "eagle eye vision" is going?
No it was not. There were two, Tiger and Nova.
Darn Windex!!!
If they'd put some of the transparent, UV-reflective stickers on the windows, the birds could see it's glass and might not hit is. The eagle was the bird of the day, but other birds, of all kinds, probably hit that glass just as they often do any pane of glass. OR, they could let cats into the stadium during the week to eat the wounded and killed birds! Let Auburn tigers in there to clean up the carcasses. Real ones. Who needs a bird? What an idea. WAR EAGLE.
PETA? hah!
@MrAUFANATIC I ant never be so mad, Don't ever post about my grammar. My Brain is so much faster then my fingers. END OF STORY.
too much windex hahahah
Windex Commercial!
@Dustin8569 hahahaha, you can't be serious can you? Last year was a fluke. Cam Newton was single-handedly the ONLY reason you won a BCS Championship. Solid start this year, though.. Nice solid stomping of a nobody in Utah St.. That's right, you squeaked by. If Mississippi State had shown up to play Auburn the way they played against LSU, you'd be crying yourself to sleep about how your dazzling "Nation's longest win streak" came to screeching halt. Long live the War Eagle and Roll Tide!
LOL!! That bird is as stupid as the football team!!!!Roll Tide Roll!!!!
roll tide
poor eagle. Next time they should let their tiger get out on the field and do a trick. Are they tigers, or are they eagles? hummmmm...ROLL TIDE
