I didn't see him say that, but I watched the video of the press conference, and when someone said "War Eagle" to him, it sounded like he said "War Eagles Baby". It kind of reminded me of the Jim Rome schtick...
But I agree with Prowler, it's nitpicking to say some of that stuff. The kid lived 600 miles from Auburn so I am sure he doesn't know all the traditions.
He damn sure still picked Auburn though....word...
