war eagle

Plains Indians' raptor

War eagle is a battle cry and rallying call associated with Auburn University, used by fans and alumni to express enthusiasm and school spirit: War eagle!

Despite the phrase, Auburn's mascot is actually a tiger—the eagle connection comes from Auburn tradition and legend rather than the official mascot.

The expression functions as both greeting and exclamation among the Auburn community.
