God only knows how a "cow college" in a South Alabama hick town (less than two hours from downtown Atlanta -- 1:30 to Hartsfield) produced the current CEO of Apple (America's 3rd largest corporation with annual revenues larger than the GDPs of all but 7 nations worldwide); the founder of Wikipedia; more astronauts than any SEC school and number five nationally; a number of Academy/Grammy/Pulitzer winners; the current Secretary of Defense; the first African-American female editor of a major newspaper (the AJC); a current Georgia Supreme Court Judge; CEOs of Accenture, Time Warner, the Southern Company and more; and, countless other accomplished grads. Seriously Bubba, 1980 called and wants its cliche' Auburn bashing back. Like it or not, Auburn ranks only behind UGA and GA Tech in number of alumni concentrated in metro Atlanta. BTW -- what year did your worldly jet-setter self graduate from UGA which is also an outstanding national land grant university just like Auburn. Hmmm?

What are you, a recruiter? Nobody has all that memorized.

Excuse me for listing (off the top of my head) a random sampling of some Auburn grads' world class accomplishments and having the ability to properly use the English language to do so. I fully realize that "education" is a dirty word to you "football is all that matters in life" types which sadly personifies the State of Alabama's embarrassing national rankings in K-12 education. Regardless, education, accomplishment (outside of football) and memory retention aren't bad things. That's why I was able to retire at a very young age. And yes, my Auburn education played a major role in helping that happen. To which, I make no apologies! Now, any more questions Bammer?
