AU Undercover Eagle Flight story
Story begins around 8:20, it's a neat little story of how the eagle flight truly began and how it's done so much for the Raptor Center. If I don't get there before the eagle flies things usually don't turn out well, so that's my new tradition, getting there early.

Amazing how many times he says, “We…”.

Didn’t realize he had retired and no longer at Florida!

He played football at Auburn.
He spent most of his adult life working for Auburn.

He can say “We” more meaningfully than most of “us.”

I wanted Jay Jacobs gone so bad after the 2012 season. In hindsight, he was the best AD we’ve had this century.

Yeah this was not a slight on JJ. I just thought he was still like the Assistant AD or something at Florida and didn’t know he had retired.

Most people are guilty of the same.

I think Cohen could continue that, depending on what happens in football this year. Equestrian, gymnastics, softball, women's soccer, baseball, basketball are all excelling, heck even track is doing well, and we finally are getting some North endzone renovations that have been needed for decades.

I never understood people wanting him gone so bad. He was actually a perfect fit for Auburn in general. I think the Internet talking points got to everyone. It's very real thing in this country.

A male assistant coach harassed, made unwanted sexual advances forward and even had sexual relationships with multiple female student athletes. The Athletic Department which he was the head of then attempted to cover the Title IX violation up and you don’t understand why people wanted him gone? That was a black eye for Auburn University and heads needed to roll including his.
