What I love about Auburn and Auburn University is that they're timeless.

Calling the Foy Union Answer desk in the middle of the night -- oops, they don't answer after midnight any more.

Visiting Dunstan Hall where I earned my graduate degree ... oh wait, it's gone.

Getting ice cream at the "Flush" - oh no, that got torn down.

Rolling the trees after a game -- argh.

Seeing a basketball game in the stadium where I graduated - oh, they built a new one.

Eating at Guthrie's on Opelika road - wait, it moved?

Never mind.

Auburn probably has the most school spirit in the SEC imo

No side-walk fan. They got my money. Back when I went to school, we always played FSU for homecoming- a given win. Canyou remember when the South Alabama school used to be called API. The agricultural college of Alabama. Where have you been?


The sports teams have always been called Auburn, We are not in south Alabama, API stands for Polytechnic Institute (API), not agriculture. Auburn is among the few American universities designated as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant research center.

I like that they give us five star linebackers out of their backyard.

Thanks, Auburn.

Auburn hardly signs anyone from Auburn High School, much less an elite prospect.

I just think it shows Auburn's generous spirit that they allow us to have five star linebackers from Auburn in back to back recruiting years. It's commendable.

I know nothing about auburn other than what's in your pic (charles Barkley went there and they have a stupid falcon), and that's more than enough.

Forget LOVE, Jesus

But I do LIKE their golf course. They seem to get a bit riled though when I show up to play in Purple and Gold. The course is about 90 minutes from my home.
