How dare you insult Andy Samberg's investigative skills. That is taking things too far.

Benedict disagreed with an analysis based on the school’s annual financial report to the NCAA, which he said overestimated the department’s losses. Auburn athletics lost money in 2014, he acknowledged, but internal figures showed $8.2 million.

Auburn athletics is normally profitable, and Benedict expects the program will return to the black in 2015. In 2014, Auburn drew from its cash reserves to cover losses which Benedict attributed to a few unique situations.

Facilities spending tripled (from $8.6 million to $27.8 million), thanks to a building boom including a new basketball arena and practice facility ($89.4 million), a new indoor football practice facility ($23.1 million) and a new soccer-track facility ($17.7 million).

Some purchases, Benedict acknowledged, were optional, like two new twin-engine jets: a six-seat 2008 Cessna Citation CJ2+ ($6.4 million) and a seven-seat 2009 Cessna Citation CJ3 ($7.8 million), each bearing a blue and orange “AU” insignia on its tail.

Auburn uses estimates on their annual NCAA financial report? Those aren't audited figures? Seriously?

Honestly, I don't know how you guys trust those guys. Every Auburn person I know thinks they are all idiots at best and crooks at worst.

Exactly why he needs to be replaced. Jacobs is the just proud to be here type.

I'm a pretty big fan of the sidewalks at UA. I spend a lot of time walking on them between classes.

That is a great picture of Alabama sidewalk hammers. I can tell by the Phi Mu wearing rainboats on a non rainy day next to it.

You should of seen my wife's glee when she saw the weather forecast for the LSU game.

"I mean, I have to get some new rain boots. I haven't worn my old ones since graduate school. They are probably falling apart".
