The Auburn football and basketball programs have seen quite a few characters over the years, and some of their best quotes are being remembered by fans on Twitter. Jimmy Traina sure got what he asked for on Twitter when he said, “Give me your all-time favorite sports quote.” Thousands of replies and quote Tweets came through, including several replies from the Auburn family.
While Traina, the host of SI Media Podcast, was probably hoping for some inspirational and memorable quotes from the people, a lot of what he got was just straight foolishness, especially in the wake of Anthony Edwards’ recent quote about former MLB star Aaron Rodriguez.
When asked for his thoughts on A-Rod becoming a partial owner of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, Edwards hilariously had never heard of the baseball player. Edwards clarified he knew Rodriguez was to be an owner but didn’t know anything else.

Among the famous quotes recognized in Jimmy Traina’s article about the replies to his Tweet include the famous “We talkin’ about practice” from Allen Iverson and “PLAYOFFS?” from Jim Mora. With the big year that both Auburn football and basketball are expected to have during their respective 2021-22 seasons, there should be plenty of opportunities for new quotes to be taken down.
