The Gameday Timeline: Auburn 43, Southern Miss 8
This used to be called Gameday Tweets, but since THE GREAT RESET OF 2026, let’s make it a little more fun and take a full scroll back through gameday, specifically Auburn’s win over Southern Miss, and how my day proceeded around it. It’s The Gameday Timeline: Auburn-Southern Miss Edition. Follow me.
Pregame:
It was the first home gameday of the 2026 season. It was raining and wet, but there was a tailgate to get setup. And that’s what we did.

TAILGATE UPDATE: the rain has caused a late start for many. Not too wet, but lots of mug. Hydrate. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

College Gameday didn’t pick the Auburn-Southern Miss game. They disrespect.
Kirk did pick Kentucky to beat Alabama tho. #wareagle

I got word that Derick Hall would be the honorary mic man. See below to find out if I was right.

After Tiger Walk and breaking down the tailgate early since I foresaw a midnight, we headed to the stadium. If you haven’t heard, they’re doing some construction on the stadium, which means less gates to get through, which also meant some weird barricade maze that didn’t make sense. Then throw in a lightning delay that caused them close the gates, and it was…
Up there with the worst stadium entrance in the history of college football.

Outside the west side of Jordan-Hare erupts with a “LET US IN” chant.

After the lightning delay, we finally got in and got to see the field for the first time in 2026 (besides the soccer game).
The Auburn coaches have begun to retake the field and starting lineups are being announced. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

I have not missed an Auburn home game since my senior year of high school.

1st half:
The eyeholes, while obviously necessary, are hilarious. #auburn #wareagle pic.twitter.com/is2d3xXB6q

Deshawn Spencer, the best wide receiver in Saraland High School history, with his first touchdown reception. Auburn leads 24-0 in the 2nd quarter. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

According to the guy in the front of me, we have ZERO IMPULSE CONTROL. #auburn #wareagle

Auburn leads Southern Miss 27-8 at the half after a 54 yard field goal at the buzzer from Alex McPherson. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

After a pretty good 1st half, the Auburn band performed the best Auburn halftime show I’ve seen in quite some time.

2nd half:
Byrum Brown caught a touchdown pass. Who does he think he is? Cam Newton?
Did he just…?

After 3 quarters of play, Auburn leads Southern Miss 43-8. My prediction was 38-10. I’m sorry I doubted. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

It appeared the 4th quarter Swag Surf had been retired and then it started after the 4th quarter hype video and I’ll be honest, I kinda got chills. The kids love it. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

I’ve never seen so many penalties with the entire officiating crew throwing their flag. Get a hobby. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

What this 35-point game needs is another commercial break. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss

Auburn beats Southern Miss 43-8. The Tigers are 2-0. Florida up next. #auburn #wareagle #BeatSouthernMiss pic.twitter.com/NZXevRDd6m

Postgame:
Auburn won the football game, and it was by a score that has never happened.
As far as I can tell, Auburn has never won a game 43-8 in their football history.
But also, Ole Miss beat Charlotte 41-9 and South Carolina beat Towson 45-9 today. And yep, it’s the first time they’ve won games by those scores as well.
Those are some weird scores, man.

Florida is coming to town in a few days. It’s the only SEC night game at Jordan-Hare this season. I’ll be sure to chronicle it.
