FWIW - I agree with Night - you can go frick yourself - or better yet Unfrick yourself so you cease to exist.

The term "Plainsmen" comes from a line in that same Goldsmith poem, "Sweet Auburn, loveliest (sic) village of the plain..." Since Auburn athletes were, in the early days, men from the Plains, it was only natural for newspaper headline writers to shorten that to "Plainsmen."

That may be true, I dunno, it makes sense. But what I read called

The nickname "Tigers" comes from a line in Oliver Goldsmith's poem, "The Deserted Village," published in May 1770, "where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey..."

a common misconception, mentioned the Princeton thing from I believe Heisman, but I could be wrong about that. If it's the book I'm thinking about, it's from David Housel. But like I said, I really don't remember.

Well, I'm pretty sure I've read Housel's book and don't remember that, but I very well could be mistaken.

However, you would think that Auburn's official athletics site would have it correct, let alone the University of Auburn site.

Thanks for "setting me straight" nite...you are the feminine epitome of class and decorum.Clearly, based on your many self serving and ulta intelligent posts, you should continue dropping F-bombs on all those that disagree with your opinions and feel fully justified in doing so !
Other that that....sorry, I'll just have to say it....nah, never-mind have had plenty of fun already,see ya , plainsman-eagle-tigers...sounds almost Nascar-like, don't you think ?

Quick question and then I'm done talking to you:

At first you assumed I was a guy and graduated from Auburn. Then when you find out I'm a girl, you assume I didn't attend college.
Do you think that women should be allowed to attend college or do you think that they should be a 1950's housewife (no college, stays at home to take care of the kids and never cusses)?

Is that a trick question? The answer seems too obvious.
