Auburn football: Tiger fans unhappy with 247Sports hostile stadium list
Auburn football fans aren’t letting 247Sports down easy for their exclusion of Jordan-Hare Stadium on their list of the most hostile environments in college football.
The recruiting site’s official Twitter made a top 10 that not only didn’t include JHS but did include SEC West rivals LSU and Texas A&M, as well as AU’s Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry counterpart, Georgia.
