Auburn Tigers footballThe Auburn Tigers football program represents Auburn University in the sport of American college football. Auburn competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Auburn officially began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892. The Tigers joined the SEC in 1932 as one of the inaugural members of the conference. They began competing in the West Division when the conference divided in 1992, doing so until the SEC eliminated divisions in 2024. Auburn has achieved 12 undefeated seasons and won 16 conference championships, along with 10 divisional championships. The Tigers have made 44 post season bowl appearances, including 12 historically major bowl berths. With over 800 total wins, Auburn is the 13th winningest FBS program. The Tigers claim two national championships; 1957 and 2010. The Tigers have produced three Heisman Trophy winners: quarterback Pat Sullivan in 1971, running back Bo Jackson in 1985, and quarterback Cam Newton in 2010. Auburn has also produced 31 consensus All-American players. The College Football Hall of Fame has inducted a total of 12 individuals from Auburn, including eight student-athletes and four head coaches: John Heisman, Mike Donahue, Ralph Jordan, and Pat Dye. Jordan, who coached from 1951 to 1975, led Auburn to its first national championship and won a total of 176 games, the most by any Auburn coach. Auburn's home stadium is Jordan–Hare Stadium, which opened in 1939 and becomes Alabama's fifth largest city on gamedays with a capacity of 88,043. Auburn's arch rival is in-state foe Alabama. The Tigers and Crimson Tide meet annually in the Iron Bowl, one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports.
Nicholas IngramNicholas Lee Ingram (20 November 1963 – 7 April 1995) was a dual British and American national, executed for murder in 1995 at the age of 31 by the US state of Georgia, using the electric chair. He was born in Britain, but had an American father. The British Prime Minister, John Major, declined to intervene and attempt to get him reprieved. He had been imprisoned since 1983 for the murder of J.C. Sawyer, a 55-year-old retired military veteran, and injuring his wife Mary Eunice Sawyer, during a robbery. The Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, was one of many who campaigned unsuccessfully for clemency. The case received widespread media coverage in the United Kingdom.

List of people executed by lethal injectionLethal injection is the practice of injecting one or more drugs into a person by a government for the express purpose of causing immediate death. While Nazi Germany was known to execute enemies of the state using an injection of lethal drugs, the first country to legalize and formally implement what is referred to today as lethal injection was the United States. The state of Texas adopted it as its form on capital punishment in 1977 and executed the first person by it, Charles Brooks Jr., in 1982. The practice was subsequently adopted by the other US states using capital punishment. As of 2025, the method is available for use by 27 US states, as well as by their federal government and military. Lethal injection was proposed and adopted on the grounds it was more humane than the methods of execution in place at the time, such as the electric chair and gas chamber. Opponents of lethal injection reject this argument, noting multiple cases where executions have been either painful, prolonged, or both. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, lethal injections have the highest rate of botched executions of any method used in the US, with 7.12% of executions using this method between 1982 and 2010 considered to have not gone according to plan. A study published in The Lancet in 2005 found that in 43% of cases of lethal injection, the blood level of hypnotics was insufficient to guarantee unconsciousness. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled 7–2 in 2008 (Baze v. Rees), 5–4 in 2015 (Glossip v. Gross), and 5–4 in 2019 (Bucklew v. Precythe) that lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Lethal injection was also adopted as a method of execution by Guatemala in 1996, China in 1997, the Philippines in 1999, Thailand in 2003, Taiwan in 2005, Vietnam in 2013, the Maldives in 2014 and Nigeria in 2015. The Philippines abolished the death penalty in 2006. While the death penalty still exists in the Maldives and Guatemala, no executions have been carried out there since 1954 and 2000 respectively. Taiwan has never actually used the method, instead carrying out all executions by single gunshot. The US and China are the two biggest users of this method of execution. The US had executed 1,428 people via lethal injection as of February 2025. The number of people executed annually in China is thought to surpass all other countries combined, though the actual number is a state secret, and the percentage of people killed via lethal injection and the other method of execution used there, firing squad, is also unclear. This alphabetical list features notable individuals up to January 2025, and only those where lethal injection can be reliably sourced to be the method of execution. The criterion for notability is either an article on the individual, or the crime they were executed for, in the English Wikipedia. This inevitably causes a bias towards US executions, as notable individuals in other countries such as Thailand and Vietnam may only have articles in their own language. A complete list of all executions in the United States can be found here.
List of people executed in the United States in 2002Seventy-one people, sixty-nine male and two female, Lynda Lyon Block and Aileen Carol Wuornos, were executed in the United States in 2002, seventy by lethal injection and one, Lynda Lyon Block, was executed by electrocution.

Tracy HouselTracy Lee Housel (May 7, 1958 – March 12, 2002) was a Bermudian-American murderer and serial killer. Convicted and later executed for murdering a woman in Norcross, Georgia during a six-week crime spree across four states, Housel was also responsible for at least two other murders and two non-fatal attacks. Shortly before his execution, Housel confessed that he had killed 17 people in his lifetime, a claim which remains uncorroborated. His case and subsequent execution sparked controversy, as the British government and several advocacy groups attempted to have Housel's death sentence commuted due to his dual nationality and alleged diminished responsibility.
