Auburn trolls Mike Elko on social media for misspeaking before loss to Tigers

Auburn won perhaps the most thrilling game of the Week 13 SEC slate, which is saying something, because it was an absolutely electric weekend of college football.

Alabama lost at Oklahoma. Ole Miss fell in The Swamp. LSU and Vanderbilt played a close game in Death Valley. But the most excitement came from Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the Tigers earned a 43-41 win in 4 overtimes over the Texas A&M Aggies.

While this loss didn’t eliminate the Aggies from SEC Championship Game contention, it did put their Playoff hopes on life support.

After the exciting win, Auburn’s social media team took a shot at Texas A&M coach Mike Elko for misspeaking during a press conference earlier this week.

Elko was asked about the Auburn game and accidentally said the Aggies were solely focused on “Texas” before correcting himself. Let’s just say Auburn’s social media team didn’t forget that slip of the tongue:

The Jordan-Hare Stadium magic delivered in a big way again on Saturday night. Teams contending for titles must hate seeing the Tigers on their upcoming schedule.

This weekend, Auburn leaves the friendly confines of Jordan-Hare to head to Tuscaloosa for an Iron Bowl matchup against an Alabama team that’s reeling. Can the Tigers pull off one more miracle?
