Agree. I would've laughed at it if it was a thing back then too.

Looked like a bunch of people standing around the seal outside.

Some made up ring ceremony where the seal is used to break a curse and restore the Auburn spirit, or something like that.

It's something somebody entirely made up a few years ago, and I think like 30 people show up every year to do it. Hopefully the backlash they get every year will result in them cancelling it.

According to Auburn legend, anyone who touches the seal is cursed with not graduating in four years, not finding true love at Auburn and having seven subsequent generations of Alabama fans in the family. The only way to reverse the curse is to plunge into the president’s fountain.
