Thanks What about Barkley for president? He’d be way better than the current candidates. You asked for AU vs UA stories on the basketball thread. Could be a good place for some WDE history and rivalries. 15 or 20 years ago someone published this on an Auburn site. Today lsu is known by the Auburn family as the corndogs, there are pre-game corndog parties and signs at tail gates "Cajuns are not like us. Don’t you see that, yet? They are really sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know, I know. We sniff the Bammers and the UGA Dawgs and the Ole Messes, and we keep a straight face with each of them, but don’t press your luck with the Cajun tiger fans. Don’t refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that’s just wrong. Even if you’ve been drinking, they’ll beat you up and curse out your kids." "So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get your corn dog jollies at home. Enough with this corn dog talk. Let’s play ball…." |

LSU fans eat corn on the cob the long way. I bet they do. Notice who Auburn's coach is in this story "So it was Auburn’s first home game against Georgia Tech… their first home game ever, actually, Nov. 7, 1896. The Tigers destroyed the Yellow Jackets in the shadow of Samford Tower to the killer tune of 45-0. However, there is a good chance the game was not decided, at least entirely, by Auburn’s superior grasp of Xs and Os but rather Tech’s curious lack of Zzzs. The buzz, as it were, was that the coach-less team from Georgia was hitting town by train in the wee, gameday morning hours. And so unknown number of Auburn cadets decided to welcome the team by literally greasing the rails for an Auburn victory, conspiring under an Alabama midnight only two days removed from a new moon to coat more than 400 yards worth of rails on either side of the train station with pig grease and lard and soap. The result: an unstoppable, brake-less slide past Auburn half-way to Loachapoka, nearly five miles. Total Second Best College Sport Prank Ever success. (Did second year Auburn coach John Heisman have anything to do with it? Who can say—but legend has it that he had a pretty good view, sipping lemonade through laughs atop the recently opened Toomer’s Drugs.) The thing is, the team didn’t really need the insurance. The Tigers’ had rested from their last game for a full month. That was a 46-0 mauling of Mercer, which Tech had beaten just 6-4 in their first game of the season on Halloween, just eight days before offering themselves to Auburn. The Yellow Jackets had once tied Auburn since southern football began, but never beaten them, which would take 10 more years. The two teams last met in Atlanta in 1894: Auburn-96, Georgia Tech-0. It was Auburn’s most decisive win ever, and one of the largest margins of victory in the history of college football (though nowhere near the 220-0 record held by a Heisman-coached Georgia Tech.) But yeah, Tech lugs their gear back to town keeping close to the tracks, stumbling and tripping on the cross ties, huffing and puffing and cussing. It must’ve been hell. That they played the game at all is kind of amazing. But young programs in those days were pretty desperate for their guarantee of the gate. Once Georgia Tech found out what happened, they were understandably pissed off, and refused to play Auburn the next year, only agreeing to resume the rivalry after API officials assured them of their efforts to curb such shenanigans with threat of expulsion. And thus began the Wreck Tech Pajama Parade, an annual (but sadly discontinued) commemoration and symbolic reenactment of the hi-jinks featuring a pajama-clad march to the Train Depot for a pep rally that in early years actually spawned activity even more criminal than the potential crashing of a passenger train. But more on that later. |

Was that the guy they named the Heisman Trophy after?

Thanks What about Barkley for president? He’d be way better than the current candidates. Wanted or not, here's the story behind War Eagle. BATTLE CRY “War Eagle” is Auburn's battle cry — not a mascot or nickname. “War Eagle” has become a way for the Auburn Family to greet and identify with each other all over the world. Anywhere you're wearing something with an Auburn logo on it, chances are you'll hear a friendly “War Eagle!” The most popular story about the battle cry dates back to the first time Auburn met Georgia on the football field in 1892 and centers on a spectator who was a veteran of the Civil War. In the stands with him that day was an eagle the old soldier had found on a battlefield during the war. He had kept it as a pet for almost 30 years. According to witnesses, the eagle suddenly broke free and began majestically circling the playing field. As the eagle soared, Auburn began a steady march toward the Georgia end zone for a thrilling victory. Elated at their team's play and taking the bird's presence as an omen of success, Auburn students and fans began to yell “War Eagle” to spur on their team. At the game's end, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died. But the War Eagle battle cry lived on to become a symbol of the proud Auburn spirit. Whenever Auburn people gather, the battle cry “Warrrrrrr Eagle!” is almost certain to be heard. It has been a part of Auburn's spirit for more than 100 years. |

Subsequent eagle stories have happier endings www.vetmed.auburn.edu/raptor/Spirit, was brought to the Raptor Center at the Vet School with a broken beak and wing. The wing healed but the prosthetic beak prevented a return to the wild, but he did have to fly circles around the stadium. Raptor Center www.vetmed.auburn.edu/raptor/WDE |

The great Charles Barkley!! The great Jeanne Robertson Takes down a bammer fan Oh, that’s classic! That Bama fan looked butt-hurt at first, but he turned out to be a great sport. College rivalries are the best!  |

It's another corndog weekend coming up. Here's Willie's own, How to on Corn Dogs Corn dogs 1 cup plain yellow corn meal 1 cup corn meal mix 3 T sugar ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 can cream corn 1 cup or more buttermilk Salt and pepper as you like 1 slice bacon per dog – optional – wrap dog in bacon before dipping ¼ cup chopped jalapenos Combine corn meal and corn meal mix with 1 cup milk or buttermilk, 2-3 Tablespoons sugar, 1 small can cream style corn. Add jalapeno peppers as desired. Some people add an egg for a fluffier texture or use all mix instead of the plain meal. Heat oil to about 375, use wood skewers or the chop sticks, and roll the dog lightly in a corn starch, then dip into the batter (put batter in a tall glass makes for more even batter distribution) and cook in 375 oil until done. (The corn starch holds the batter on the hot dog.) (optional-wrap the dogs in bacon before corn starch) By far pork hot dogs are the best and turkey the worst. |
