Alabama Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth has an idea for commemorating Auburn’s second trip to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four.

In a post on social media site X, Ainsworth suggested a new name for Lake Michigan — Gulf of Auburn.

“We will be working on a resolution this week renaming a certain body of water. #WarEagle” Ainsworth posted.

Included was a map renaming the lake as the “Gulf of Auburn,” an allusion to President Trump renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Ainsworth, a likely candidate for governor of Alabama in 2026, visited the White House this week “to discuss widening I-65 from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of America.”

Auburn defeated Michigan State 70-64 to clinch its second Final Four berth in program history Sunday night.

That came after a 78-65 win over Michigan Friday to get to the Elite Eight. Auburn next plays Florida for a chance to go to the title game.

That wasn’t the only comment about owning the state of Michigan.
