Guys and Gals:

It is with great pleasure I announce another new contributor to our community, JP, member of the Tiger Tail Team.  JP (aka "Mr. Blue"), will soon be bringing the stories from "three wild and crazy Auburn fans driving an iconic van all across SEC country" to AUFAMILY.  

Not familiar with the Tiger Tail Team?  Are you sure?  I bet you may recognize this...

Background...

The Tiger Tail Team was the creation of a couple of friends in the early nineties who bought a van, dressed her up and took her to all the games. As time went on and the tradition grew, a tail, elaborate paint jobs, and a sound system were added. After 18 long, but successful years the original Tiger Tail Team decided that it was time to pass on the tradition to a younger, but just as dedicated group. A new Tiger Tail Team was formed out of three friends who had already begun venturing to away games as a group. This is our first year of driving the van as our Auburn forefathers have passed on the tradition. It is our plan to carry on their tradition and expand it like never before!
So what does this mean?

It means you get to come along for the ride each week! ...  Stay tuned for their weekly feature 'Tails From The Road' which will be published on our soon-to-be launched blog!

Again, our community has always been for AU people, about AU people, and by AU people.  And it makes perfect sense that JP and the Tiger Tail Team are now a part of it -- Welcome and War Eagle!
