If you’re from the Southeast in the U.S. and you follow college football, chances are you’ve heard of “Tammy” from “The Paul Finebaum Show.”
A passionate Auburn Tigers fan, Tammy has been a daily caller to Finebaum’s show for years. She served as a mainstay on the show as both its audience and platform continued to grow. (RELATED: Is Urban Meyer Done At Ohio State? At Least One College Football Expert Thinks So)

A Clanton, Alabama native, Bullard’s feisty yet endearing support for the Tigers’ football program has always been one of the most unique and authentic features of Finebaum’s show. On Friday, Finebaum dedicated the final hour of his show exclusively to her.
The final hour of tonight’s show is dedicated to our friend Tammy & her grandchild.
