You do know, Auburn has higher entrance standards than Alabama, don't you?

Better yet, why was a southern school in the early 1900s using the Battle Hymn of the Republic for a fight song?

I think tu stole your fight song also. The Eyes of Texas sound eerily familiar to that.

We were going to steal your women. Then we saw them and opted for the song instead.

Just a quick Google search:

"Glory, Glory is the rally song for the Georgia Bulldogs, the athletics teams for the University of Georgia. Glory, Glory is sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body" and was sung at football games as early as the 1890s"

" the earliest reference to it on the AU page was 1917 during WWI"

But I did find this in my search:

Did Auburn steal it's War Eagle battle cry from Georgia

"'War Eagle' as a call to arms was born in the hills of North Georgia, fostered by the Georgia football team of 1912-13, and later adopted by Auburn... While the Auburn adoption cannot be characterized as a plagiarism, as in their hands, it has inspired many a victory for their famous football teams, the cry belongs to Georgia."

"Harold "War Eagle" Ketron was considered one of the first powerhouse athletes to personify the spirit of Georgia football. Captain of the 1903 team.
...Ketron learned early in life to defend himself and his brothers, and his rallying cry of 'War Eagle!' often echoed through Habersham's valleys.
