Good morning and happy Wednesday, Auburn fans.
This morning, we’ll talk about the extensive fall sports schedule going on this week that Tigers fans should get giddy over after a long absence. An Auburn assistant coach on the baseball team was recognized on a top assistants list, the softball stadium is undergoing some major renovations while the sport is out of season and the men’s golf team has hired an assistant coach with some serious SEC pedigree and championship history.

Tigers fans should look forward to a great week of sports as the Fall semester kicks off on the Plains.
Wednesday will see Auburn volleyball play its fourth game of the season (and first at home) against Alabama State, the women’s soccer team will square off against West Virginia, the football team will begin the 2022 season against the Mercer Bears and the soccer team will play once again to round out the week when it tilts with Army that Sunday.
Another exciting weekend on the Plains!

It may not be baseball season, but that doesn’t mean Auburn’s baseball team can’t be recognized for its good work in spring.
Assistant coach Karl Nonemaker got to feel some of that praise when he was named to D1Baseball’s top 75 assistants list (subscription required). Nonemaker was an outfielder at Vanderbilt in his college days an was named as an assistant coach to the Tigers in 2017. Prior to that, he served as an assistant and recruiting coordinator at Old Dominion.
Just @KarlNonemaker earning some more national attention. 👀

The Auburn Tigers’ men’s golf team has a new assistant coach.
Auburn hired Buddy Alexander as an assistant coach on Tuesday, adding a former head coach to its staff. Alexander was notably the head coach of LSU from 1982 to 1987 and at UF from 1988 to 2014. As a head coach, Alexander has 10 SEC championships and two national titles to his name.
