Auburn football: Students insist Fall Break won’t keep them from AU-UGA

Auburn football will face the number two team in college football next weekend, and frustratingly enough, the game takes place during the university’s fall break. There will be no classes on the Thursday and Friday before AU-UGA, October 7-8.

Auburn’s fall break comes noticeably earlier than several other SEC schools, and other schools seem to make sure their break is not on a home football weekend. For example, both Alabama and Georgia have fall break the weekend of October 30, which is Bama’s bye week and an away game for the Dawgs.

Students who choose to leave for fall break would also be missing another huge sporting event in the annual Tip-Off at Toomer’s. It could be that the university chose such a jam-packed weekend in order to encourage students to stay on campus to help minimize COVID issues from traveling:

However, student Auburn football fans on Twitter are claiming that they are going to have their fall break and be at the game too. Most students seem to be of the opinion that there’s nowhere they’d rather be than in Jordan-Hare Stadium for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry:

Auburn football fans are going to show up in full force this Saturday for what will be a huge ranked SEC matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers.
