1. Chris Davis's 109 yard field goal in the 2013 Iron Bowl was viewed by millions again and again as it won the Espy for Play of the Year and saw unrelenting air play and viral internet status.
   
   
   This was our favorite version. The extended life of the Kick Six is Access Auburn's top story for 2014.

2. The celebration came to an abrupt end when Auburn redshirt freshman Jakell Mitchell was gunned down at graduation party December 14, raising renewed questions about public safety and gun violence in Auburn.

3. Accusations of politics were hurled by Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard when a Lee County grand jury returned a multi-count indictment against the Auburn legislator. Stay tuned. This could be the top story of 2015 if it goes to trial.

4. Auburn's basketball fortunes took a rapid one-eighty when Bruce Pearl was hired to coach the Tiger team. Pearl hasn't had a losing record in 19 years of coaching. Smart money says don't bet against Pearl keeping the record intact. We have to agree. This team reminds us of the 1997 team that had to win a game in the SEC tournament to finish with winning season and a year later was a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.

5. We bid goodbye to some Auburn friends in 2014. Three who touched many hearts were socialite Lee Cannon, former AU football star Philip Lutzenkirchen and Auburn super-fan Mr. Penny. One streak will come to an end with the passing of David Brown, a familiar face at nearly every Tiger sports event for the last thirty years. Brown had attended 386 consecutive Auburn football games without an absence. Another streak remained intact when Buddy Davidson overcame a stroke to keep alive a consecutive game streak that began in the Eisenhower administration.

6. It seems so long ago but the year began with Auburn playing for the last BCS National Championship in Pasadena against FSU. The Tiger came within 13 seconds of victory only to see it slip away when the Tigers could not withstand the Seminole's late offensive assault. Florida State downed Auburn, 34-31, January 6 in the Rose Bowl.

7. The celebrities and others who wanted to help turned out when Bo Jackson brought his charity fund raiser Bo Bikes Bama home to Auburn. The 2015 version is scheduled for May 2.

8. Auburn scientists received international acclaim for work helping to find a vaccine for the deadly Ebola disease.

9. Despite vocal opposition Auburn City Council seems poised to approve a conditional use of a property on Donahue Drive for a fast food drive-through and a gas station. Opponents of the measure fear the area turning into another South College Street corridor, Auburn's congested southern entrance anchored on one end by the Longleaf crime nexus and at the other by the West Pace "Museum of Erosion" and the derelict water park. The Council will vote January 6 at 7 p.m. and the meeting is open to the public.

10. The hottest new power couple on the SEC is Auburn Football Coach Gus Malzahn and his newly-hired defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. Muschamp was hired after Ellis Johnson's defense was scorched in the stretch run.
