These are signs from Bama's Past, Present, and Future Fans.
The college football fans that know facts know that we invented Tiger Walk, which is "the most copied tradition in sports."http://espn.go.com/page2/s/maisel/031120auburn.htmlWe also came up with the inter-locking arms thing, which was no one, including us, does anymore, but became wildly popular after we did it in 04.
How about playing Darth Vader's song after 3rd down stops? Do you lay claim to that one as well? Were you guys the first ones to sell popcorn at the game?
Tiger WalkBefore each Auburn home football game, thousands of Auburn fans line Donahue Avenue to cheer on the team as they walk from Sewell Hall (the athletes' dormitory) to Jordan-Hare Stadium. The tradition began in the 1960s when groups of kids would walk up the street to greet the team and get autographs. During the tenure of coach Doug Barfield, the coach urged fans to come out and support the team, and thousands did. Auburn is the first known school to conduct an organized procession of players into the stadium. Today the team, led by the coaches, walks down the hill and into the stadium surrounded by fans who pat them on the back and shake their hands as they walk. The largest Tiger Walk occurred on December 2, 1989, before the first ever home football game against rival Alabama—the Iron Bowl. On that day, an estimated 20,000 fans packed the one block section of road leading to the stadium. According to former athletic director David Housel, Tiger Walk has become "the most copied tradition in all of college football."[1] As it grew in popularity, the Tiger Walk has become a fixture for road games. Fans will gather at visiting stadiums and cheer the team on from the busses into the stadium.

Michigan fans would argue that Bump Elliot began this tradition in the 60's a few seasons before the Tiger Walk.
