Papaw matriculated there after WWII. It was colloquially Auburn, even if the official name was API.

Nothing wrong with that.

API
Also, small thread hijack, but there’s a reason I always cheer for Clemson. As I said, my grandfather started college at Clemson before transferring to and graduating from API. But he didn’t just attend Clemson, he also played football there.

Just think if we had been called Alabama Tech. Crazy. But, as a 5th generation Alabaman, I kinda like it.

In the old days, sportswriters called it Auburn.

They also waxed eloquently about Tuscaloosa and Knoxville.

It was always Auburn going back to before George Petrie wrote the Creed.

It is what it is.

Daniel doesn't ask honest questions about Auburn. Made it look that way knowing Auburn fans would react negatively so his alter JerryRTiger could rush in to his defense. Daniel knows all about having several accounts to run and make them all interact on one site

Their only national title without Cam Newton is stamped "API."

Do old timers still refer to the university as Alabama Polytechnic or has Auburn become the more accepted term?
Auburn has become more accepted, just like Faggies for the Aggies

Mac, I noticed that you curved the corners on the avatar I made for you. It seems that there is a little bit of white on the edges that now appears. This can be caused, sometimes, by not saving the image as .png.

Anyway, if you like, I curved the corners for you. 1st-No Shadow-----2nd - With Shadow

That you imagine I'm TexAg, one of the all time greats of sports message boards, is just as stupid as the fallacy that you willingly promote that TexAg is Daniel.

It's like a fantasy world that many of you wrap yourselves up in while knowing that everyone here knows that none of it is really true.It's sort of infantile, but I understand it is practically the only weapon that can attempt to be applied to a poster of such stature and renown as TexAG.

When he is on, he takes the frick over. It's amazing really how the vortex just keeps sucking them in even as they know they are like moths to the flame.

Hey, look at me do this again. I'm about to jump in a TexAg thread and just let that bastard probably frustrate me to the point of slapping my forehead. It is great fun to see one of his massive threads active and humming with posters of all fanbases crying and thrasing and gnawing at their keyboards as they drive mods insane with the RA's .

How often does Daniel refer to himself in the 3rd person Daniel?

It was known as Auburn even when it was API, so the school went ahead and made it official. There are articles going back to the 1910’s calling it Auburn. The API is nostalgic for older grads.


This. My dad and FiL graduated from API, but everyone has pretty much always just called the school "Auburn."

I'm going to need to know who you are before we can continue this. I don't recognize your username and I only interact with a select few here that I feel command a presence that is impressive and are interesting. What's the point, otherwise?

Can you tell me about yourself, boardwise?

You are kind of silly and I don't think I'm going to get much out of you. Can you be serious or do you not have a personality other than clown talk?
