    Frenchie,
    I think I will talk smack now and I will definitely be back late Saturday night to talk smack about how your LSU tigers rolled over and gave up just like your french ancestors do in Paris every time somebody comes knocking on the door.

    I'm guessing the graphics design department at AU made that sign up, right? Very professional-looking...:D

    Football? who cares about football. I don't care if we win or lose. I just want all barners to have flat tires, trucks burned, elderly beat up and piss on the rest of them.:D

    A brief primer on AU mascots (for those of us who make a general practice of reasoning logically)

    The TIGER is the actual mascot, and the only one.

    WAR EAGLE! is the war cry. You might have noticed that this could be a mascot too, but trust me, its not. And its NOT plural (war eagles). This mistake is made all the time, and only adds to the confusion. Its an exclamation, not a noun (or nouns). One thing that apparently helps to keep it all straight for Auburn fans is to add “damn” in the middle. So when you’re referring to the team, call them the Tigers, or the Plainsmen … oh … wait a second … okay, we’ll get to that in a minute, just DON’T call them the war eagles, because that’s not technically correct.

    I know its confusing because WAR EAGLE! has nothing to do with Auburn, or Tigers, or anything else, but trust me, there are some conflicting accounts pertaining to civil war veterans which tie it in to the university, so just try to roll with it.

    Now, WAR EAGLE! is not, by any means, a mascot! However there is actually an eagle at the games, so don’t get confused. Yes, I know, under most circumstances, a live animal on the sidelines does, in fact, represent the school’s mascot. But not this time, okay (see the preceding paragraph).

    Now, moving on, you can also refer to the them as the PLAINSMEN. Or the town of Auburn as the “lovliest village on the plains.” Its from a poem, and, hey, why stay locked in to 2 mascots, when you could go ahead and have 3?

    A few things to keep straight. The stuffed tiger is named “Aubie.” The live eagle is named “Tiger” (I know). The guy with the ears is named “Tubby.”

    Re: Suck my gym sock, Nuttsac.

    Don't know what the score of last year's Auburn/lswho game (31 - 7) has anything to do with bama but whatever you say Frenchie!

    You Auburn Fans like to bring up last years scores don't you. Well here is some facts for you-

    Alabama leads the series between Auburn 38-28-1
    LSU leads the series against Auburn 19-17-1
    Hell just for fun- Vandy leads the series between you 19-18-1

    Wow like I care you beat us 31-7 last season. What is that score going to have to do with this years game. We will focus on this years game and you can live on what you did to us last year.

    LSU,

    It seems you have a big problem with us having 2 mascots. I guess you have always been jealous of people that have more than you. I have a solution to your penis envy problem. We will drop one or you can elect another so you will feel as important as us. Here are some ideas for your second. A huge corndog car (like the oscar mayer weiner car), a cajun uneducated drunk, or you could give you Tiger a blankie and a bottle so you can stop whining!!!!!!

    Don't get defensive about your mascot problem chews. Acknowledgment is the first step to recovery.
