There's now more to Logan's Roadhouse than throwing peanut shells on the floor.

Women's basketball coach Nell Fortner kicked off her weekly radio show Tuesday night at the restaurant in TigerTown.

The show is to be held every week at 6 p.m. on 96.7 FM and offers a way for the community to be kept up to date with the team.

Fans not able to attend are encouraged to listen on the radio and have the option to call in to the show.

The numbers to call in are 1-800-AU-CALLS or 334-321-2020.

Fortner spent most of the start of the show discussing the upcoming match-ups against Mississippi State and No. 5 Tennessee.

Fortner said she was happy to see so many games on the schedule held on Sundays since she considers Sunday the team's lucky day.

The women's basketball team hosts Tennessee Sunday afternoon.

Two years ago, the women set an attendance record during the Tennessee game.

While Fortner doesn't think the record will be broken this weekend, she encourages fans to pack the house.

Fortner said the home-court advantage is even greater in the new arena, and she feels blessed to be coaching at Auburn right now.

The first 500 fans into the Auburn Arena Sunday will receive an Alli Smalley bobblehead doll and halftime entertainment will be Fletcher Runyan.
