A Short History and Introduction to the Tiger Tail Team

Welcome to the Adventures of the Tiger Tail Team!  If you have found this blog it is because you either love all things Auburn or you are wanting to know the who, what, and why questions concerning the Tiger Tail Team Van.  Let me begin by saying I don’t have all the answers concerning the van just yet.  What I can tell you is that the Tiger Tail Van began sometime in the early 90’s, has been through several tails and has seen over two hundred and ninety seven thousand miles during its illustrious life.  During that time it has had two tails burned off of it and has survived any further damage through sheer luck.

In May of this year, the original owner contacted my friend and asked if he would be interested in taking over the Tiger Tail Van and forming a new team to carry on the tradition.  He agreed to and began forming a new Tiger Tail Team.  In June we took a short drive to Lowndes County where the Tiger Tail Van has spent her off seasons undisturbed by man, roaming back country roads awaiting football season.  At first she was hesitant to leave her traditional off season grounds, but eventually took to the roads and began heading north towards her new summering grounds in the Birmingham area.  She now has a new home and new owners who are looking to expand the tradition associated with the Tiger Tail Team.  Don’t be surprised if you see her driving around Birmingham or even show up at various non-football events.  It is our intent to take her to every home and away game this year and I plan to use this blog to tell the many stories that happen when the Tiger Tail Team goes on the road.
