Bruce Pearl is proud of the Auburn fanbase for continuing to show up for the football team.

University officials have announced that the Week 11 football game against Texas A&M has sold out. With how poorly the 2022 season has gone for the Tigers, it would not have been a surprise to see many empty seats in Week 11. However, that will not be the case, and Bruce Pearl says that is a testament to the fanbase.

“What a great statement the Auburn family and the Auburn fanbase is making to our coaching staff, the players,” Pearl said at a media opportunity. “Supporting them in a season that’s obviously not going to be a championship season. Just a shoutout to our fans.”

Pearl also noted that the Auburn men’s basketball home opener also sold out on Monday. Pearl’s Tigers defeated the George Mason Patriots in front of a sell-out crowd at Auburn Arena.
