Auburn Students Plan Protest

Students at Auburn University are planning a protest over Tommy Tuberville's departure as football coach.

Planners say hundreds of students are expected to march from the center of campus to the president's mansion today. They say Tuberville was wrongly forced out after 10 years that included an undefeated season and a conference championship.

An organizer of the demonstration, Taylor Jones, says many people believe Tuberville was fired despite the university's claim that he resigned. They're pointing to the school's agreement to pay Tuberville more than $5 million he wouldn't have been due unless he was fired.

A university spokeswoman says Auburn is standing by its statement that Tuberville resigned.

The other day I heard the song "Choices" by George Jones and it got me thinking that we have the right in this country to make choices everyday in our lives. From who to vote for president, the car we drive and who we marry. It is our choice. BUT when it comes to Auburn and Alabama you don't have a choice, you are born with it in your BLOOD. People have asked me why I chose to be an Auburn fan and I tell them I didn't, Auburn chose me. I was born with Orange and Blue in my veins and I was born to HATE Alabama!!! I despise the UAT, I have no compassion for their professors, students or fans and the history of their football program is built on Lies and Cheaters!!! So what if the "Bear" coached there. He is dead, get over it. So what if they claim 12 national championships? Half of them are built on lies and are not even recognized by the NCAA and the SEC. Who are they to think they can give themselves a "NC" when they didn't even finish #1 in the country in the final polls. Look at the line of coaches they have been through in the past 10 years, more cheaters and liars. What do you expect, they were trying to follow that "Bama Tradition". I understand that Saban has turned things around in his 2nd year and that they are 11-0 and are #1 in country. But look at the year of 2008 as a whole, does anything make sense? The economy, gas at $4.00 per gallon, Obama, wall street bailout, the Franklin system, gas drops to $1.55 in less than two months, Pat Dye finding his pants in the bottom of Lake Martin and Auburn with a record of 5-6. NOTHING is MAKING SENSE!!!

When I walked out of the UGa game 2 weeks ago, it was the 1st time this year that I walked out not being frustrated with my Tigers. I believe that Kodi is coming along and I believe that if he was our starter the whole season we would not be 5-6 right now. But I still don't know what to expect on Saturday against the Tide. WE MUST BELIEVE!!!

ATTN: Paul Rhodes and AU Defense - This is your game to win. You are going to have to keep UAT down to keep the offense in the game. With everyone getting healthy we should be able to come out and knock heads like we were in the 1st half of the season!!!

The last time we went into the UAT game where we had a losing record and we won the game was in 1949.

The last time we played UAT on Nov. 29 was in 1986 and we all know who scored the winning touchdown!!!




The bottom line is that we have not won a game this year that we were not supposed to win. Going into Tuberville-Denny we have the chance to knock UAT out of the top spot, to continue the streak, and to salvage a tough heart-breaking season. The Auburn Nation should be more FIRED up than ever before!!! I wish I could be in that locker room before the game to let those players and coaches know that no matter what happens Saturday that we will be behind them 100% at the end of the day. To the players, this is a game were legends are made and that you could have your name right up there with Newton, Langer, Campbell, Jackson, Tillman, Slack, Wright, Joseph, Nix, Sanders, Bostic, Houston, Reese, Holmes, Duval, Smith, Cadillac, Campbell, McClover and Cox...just to name a few!!! Guys, it was your "Choice" to wear the Orange and Blue and it is time to show the nation that the Auburn program is still alive and that the state of Alabama is still ruled by the boys on the Plains!!!

It time for the Auburn Nation to stand up and shout -

"We an't going take this Bull Shit anymore, GO TO HELL ALABAMA"

Trust me I know that the "Bear" was a cheat!!!

A long time ago YKWPD said, "to win the SEC you have to win Amen Corner". We have won the SEC six times and every time we won Amen Corner, but in 2008 it has a whole new meaning. Win Amen Corner and let the partying begin, split and we can look forward to a bright future, lose and we can allt hank God this year is over!!!

But DAMN IT - I BELIEVE AND YOU SHOULD ALSO!!!

This is the 112th meeting of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry and is such a huge game every year recruiting wise because the way Auburn is so close to the Georgia state line. The state of Georgia has given Auburn some of its biggest coaches and players but none bigger than -

In 1978 Auburn wore orange jerseys against UGa for the 1st time since the Tulane game in 1955. Last year UGa wore black to get fired up. Maybe we should wear the orange to get the Tigers fired up.

Did UT Martin leave any in the locker room?

In the last 12 meetings the lower ranked or unranked team has won 7 times. Over the same period the teams have split the games.

AUBURN has won 51 consecutive games when the Tigers have scored 30 or more points.
Can you tell me when the last time the Tigers lost when scoring at least 30 points?

I know it's an early game but we can do this.

Last thought, I was in Athens last year and witnessed the dancing Dawgs and their classless act. I know that many of our players and fans are still upset with it and have been very public about it this week. One thing I love about AUBURN is that no matter what happens before, during or after a game the AUBURN NATION has always shown the most upright respect for the opponent and their fans. It has been 22 years since we turned on the sprinklers. So if somehow UGa gets out of hand, I know just the right person to call to get the switch flipped!!!

You think AU is MAN enough to beat them Dawgs? I hope so because if not the Loveliest Village on the Plains may not be so lovely anymore!!!

At the beginning of this year this was supposed to be the battle of two Top 10 teams and now it's just a battle to get to a bowl game. For AUBURN it's a battle for PRIDE. With the firing a few weeks ago and another loss to a weaker SEC team the program has hit a LOW that we have not seen since the beginning of the 2003 year.

This will be the northernmost city we have played since traveling to Syracuse, NY in 2001.

Auburn's all-time record on Thursday night games is 6-1. Who was the loss to?

Even though he in no longer with us. It looks like John Denver is picking the War Eagles to WIN!

I do hope the Country Roads of West Virginia guides us back to the WINNING PATH!!!

Hope Dye is telling Tuberville to GET IT TOGETHER!!!

I just don't know what to say this week. Sorry it's so short and does not have much thought but this has to be the craziest week since Bowden left in 1998.

Like others, I'm still frustrated with the Vandy loss and I just feel like the program is in a heavy fog and no one knows what the HELL is going on!!! With Franklin hitting the road it's time to come TOGETHER and SUPPORT our players and coaches MORE than EVER!!!


I BELIEVE IN AUBURN AND LOVE IT

No stat's or crazy thoughts this week just point blank - BEAT ARKANSAS!!!

The 1st time we played the Hogs in SEC play #34 was retired.

Only 3 touchdowns against 3 SEC schools!!! Are you kidding me? Our defense has 3 for the whole season so far. Maybe we should fire Tony and let Fine6aum run the offense and defense.
I hope the spread is a good recruiting tool because the offense is averaging 329.4 yards per game so far through 5 game and through 5 game's in 2007 it was 330.4. One whole yard!!! Killing ME!!!

But anyway -

We made it out of September with one loss which is better than last year but our offense has stepped back light years. This is not the time for the program to start going backwards. With the evil empire to the west growing with strength a loss would be catastrophic to the AUBURN nation. This is Vandy we are talking about. They are last in the conference in offense and defense and may be ranked and have Gameday coming but still, its Vanderbilt. Enough said!!!


Auburn has a 2-1 record with a total of 38 points scored against SEC schools. This is the lowest output of points since scoring 22 in 1960 in 3 SEC games and we went 2-1 also.

The last time we lost to Vandy was in 1955. Only 2 of our coaches were born at that time - Tuberville was 1 and Dunn was 2 years old.

Vandy is GONNA need a to beat AUBURN!!!!!

As we start the month of October we should leave this month with 3 more wins. Hopefully the offense will come around and get some momentum going into November before we hit Amen Corner.

Maybe Auburn will find its identity with the offense and remember how we made it through the years...

After a emotional game last Saturday night it's time to get down to business again. Someone is going to have to PAY for the LSU loss and "Good Ole Rocky Top" is just the team we are looking for. Rocky Top is no longer at the top and they are beginning to crumble. This Auburn team is going in the right direction with the offense and special teams showing more life every week. The defense is AUSOME but the worst enemy the defense has is it's own offense. We have the talent and the coaches to make a run that will put us back in the Top 10 and a chance to still make it to Atlanta. Tennessee is a team that we should and will dominate from kickoff.

This is the 1st meeting with the Vols since we were crowned SEC Champs in 2004. Auburn has a 3-game winning streak going right now as we beat the Vols 3 times in 14 months during the 2003/2004 seasons. A win and we will match the 4-game streak we had against them from 1961 - 1964.

The last time we played the Vols on Sept. 27 was in 1986 with a 34 - 8 Auburn win.

The Vols are going to need a lot of to get through this old-fashioned mountain beating!!!

So come Saturday night after the Big Orange is squeezed and the AU Band is playing Rocky Top - the pain we had from a week ago will be gone and the Auburn Nation will be Alive and Well!!!

This has been one of those weeks. Everyone has been down on Auburn and saying that the wheels are about to come off. As I was getting everything packed up last night to drive down to Birmingham I got a feeling I have not had since I drove down to Gainesville last year. We may be 3-0 but this is one of those games that Tuberville has made his money on. Count Tommy and his Tigers out and watch them come out and punch you in the mouth. This is a game where Jordan-Hare Stadium is going to have be the KEY factor.

The last time we played LSU at night in Jordan-Hare was 2000 and we all know who won the West that year.

Robert Dunn has had a great year so far and may be the most electric return man we have had since this guy...



Also the only time we have played LSU on Sept. 20 was in 1997 and we all know once again who won the West that year. There have been a few rumbles from the team in the west but after Saturday night we will show everyone that we are still the dominating force in this state and the Western division. After Saturday night and the smell of corndogs clears the air and the corner is rolled - ALL will be good in the "Loveliest Village On The Plains"
