You people are horn-dogs. Horny, horny bastards and bastardettes (meaning the ladies, or is there another term? I forget).
And I love it.
Why am I saying these things? Well, you people prove my bold assertion week in and week out.
The streaking-Playboy-coed-swimsuit stories seem to always populate our top-viewed posts (see “Top Posts” at right-hand [...]

Penn State-ment of Protest
By J.M. Comer
With hesitation, I’m going to bring it all up (briefly) again.
Back in mid-May of this year, it seemed there was a week when the stitches from the 2004 wound were picked open on Auburn Tiger fans … again. The playoff argument was bandied about again by football commissioners to no effect, and the [...]

Gettin’ Polytechnic with Wikipedia Karen
I wrote something the other day about finding an old photo of a Heisman-coached Auburn team in an 1897 issue of Harper’s Weekly magazine. I called it Auburn’s first national press. Then came Wikipedia Karen. There is no such thing as Auburn, said Karen. Auburn is made-up. That was the A&M College of Alabama. And [...]

“Knowing Jimmy like I know him…”
After the arrest for dealing cocaine, after the revelation of his violation of NCAA eligibility requirements by incorporating his football persona into the marketing of his pit bull operation, the hidden track to the increasingly sordid Jimmy Johns affair could possibly be the status of his relationship to Lee Thomas, the Tuscaloosa resident who described [...]

Tired of Seeing Overpriced Dogs with Poor Qualities?
“Hi Jimmy, are they treating you well? Um… well look, real quick… we need your password.”
I heard it mentioned by a caller yesterday on Finebaum, but misunderstood; I thought “The Linebacker Bullies” was the name of Jimmy Johns’ cartel or something, and couldn’t find anything about it.
But leave it to the investigative champion of the [...]

Auburn’s First National Press?
1897 Auburn team photo, coach John Heisman, far right.
The first national press Auburn received almost has to have been the stand-alone team photo I found in a June 16, 1897 edition of Harper’s Weekly, likely the result of Dr. George Petrie’s tireless P.R. efforts. Petrie was Auburn’s first football coach and the father of the [...]

Well, I’ll tell ya’ Eee-Lah…
After a game, I huff as fast as I can up Bragg Ave. to get to my car — I park at the end of Sanders Street. I open the door and jam the key in and crank it up and find the station — I do that even before the cigar. I mean, I’ll [...]

Slipping Between Our Paws
By J.M. Comer
While breaking down and looking over this week’s signing day haul, it’s hard to see the silver lining for Auburn. I tried to find positives, some way to spin it — but I’m having trouble. Auburn was knocked down by Alabama’s signing class. The Crimson Tide took over control of Alabama, burning Auburn [...]

Streaking at Auburn
By J. Henderson
Photo by B. Ashmore
If you’ve ever taken the time — and who hasn’t — to click on and glance at The War Eagle Reader’s “Stories Wanted” page, you might have noticed a reference to Auburn’s experience with the streaking fad, which began in codified earnest in the winter of 1974. In this regard, [...]

The Emperor’s Old Houndstooth
By J. Henderson
My first memory of Paul Finebaum — sports columnist, radio talk show host, man, legend — is of listening to Tommy Charles and John Ed Willoughby mock him on the radio in, I believe, 1990. I was in middle school and, for a time, a regular caller to the TC and John Ed [...]
