Auburn Tigers-Drake

Gus Malzahn has led the Auburn Tigers up against the empires of the SEC with a new cutting-edge style the conference had never seen before. Drake did the same thing in rapping, taking the cross between hip hop and R&B to a completely different level as a singer/rapper.

Auburn’s success under Malzahn as a head coach or an assistant coach stems from the fact that they recruit good talent and have a fun style of play to watch, creating a great mix. Oregon simply has a fun style, Alabama simply recruits. Auburn could not stand on either alone.

Drake’s success is that he is a good lyricist and a good singer with pop appeal. He, also, could not stand on either alone. But when you mix the fashionable and the substance, you get greatness from both.

And now, Drizzy has three platinum albums and is the hottest rapper out, while Auburn has two SEC titles and a national title since 2010.
