NYCAuburn… I cannot believe someone, even someone from Auburn, even in this day and age of make-up-your-own rules, can be so ignorant of the rules of punctuation. Tell me you are just being argumentative... please tell me that.

Not if you use it as the first word of a sentence

…simply by putting the word in quotes, he was referring to HRV use of it, which is Auburn, as in the university. Using the quotes for the color was not a correct usage and capitalizing even more so

I am saying your use of it all together was incorrect. You put the word in quotes. HRV use of the word was for the university, so it is not a color.


OMG! NYCAuburn… please tell me you are not so ill-educated oblivious to the rules of English grammar that you believe the crap you posted about punctuation. If you are just being deliberately ignorant, please stop because there are other people, other Auburn graduates, that might take your fatuitous BS as being somehow correct. If you don’t know punctuation and are just being dull, again… just quit. You are setting a bad example for the mentally challenged.

Again, what ever your incomprehensible point is, does this sentence look correct to you?

“education” and “Auburn” are mutually exclusive terms.

God the people who post on here...

I can’t believe you typed that and still think you are correct.

Let me ask this. When you put it into quotes, who were you quoting and what context did they use the word?

Answer that.

What’s a “Ivy League”?
Or is it, what’s an “Ivy League”?
Does the the “?” belong inside the quotes?

Was API taken?


Serious question...

Folks my age will remember that WAPI in Birmingham was the flagship of the Auburn radio network. Was there any connection between Auburn formerly having been API, and the call sign of the radio station?

Keep dreaming. AU only gets off pirobation to go back on. AU takes players UGA kicks off the team - remember where y'all picked up Nick Marshall and others? Georgia's violations are minor infractions. No probation in decades. Georgia has has our share of marijuana arrests, DUIs and driving with expired licenses but few major problems. Mark Richt had probably the toughest drug policy in the country and it was enforced. We expect Kirby to do the same. We have violations because we enforce the rules while others look the other way or "handle the issue internally ". AU knows all about that. Georgia is yet to see the FBI on our doorstep or to testify before Congress about cheating.It's really something to see an AU fan get on their high horse about violations. If the NCAA visited your campus anymore than they do they would probably move their headquarters there. Sure would save a lot of money!

How many NCAA investigations during this time period? How many times were they denied post season bowls? How many scholarships did they forfeit? How many restrictions on recruiting? More than they will own up to for sure. Auburn, that lily white purer than NY snow program - provides endless entertainment. God bless them!
