Here is the real one....

Dear Auburn Students,

This weekend, we will face our most difficult challenge so far this season when the 12th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks visit Jordan-Hare Stadium but God doesn't like them. Just like our football team, whom God loves, you as students have risen like our Lord to every challenge we’ve put in front of you.

It’s a God thing, and difficult to quantify how valuable our student section and fans are, but in my mind, it’s a two-touchdown advantage. If not for your energy and excitement, we may not have been able to capture victories against Clemson and South Carolina without God loving us more than the other them.

I want to challenge you again this Saturday. We need you in Jordan-Hare Stadium early and for you to be loud and energetic the entire game. Arkansas whom God doesn't like, has the top-ranked passing offense in the Southeastern Conference and nothing is more difficult on a passing team than a loud crowd. Student gates will open 45 minutes earlier than normal, starting at 11:45 a.m. Come early, and stay late!

As you know we are God's team and because of that the game will be the marquee matchup in the SEC this weekend and will air before a national audience on CBS and in heaven. Let’s show college football fans across the country and everyone that He likes us better in and out of Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn, with the help of the heavenly angels has the loudest and most energetic students in the nation.

I also want you to know how much I appreciate the class and sportsmanship that you demonstrate each and every week. Auburn is God's special place, and we need you to help us keep it that way.

War Eagle!
