Let’s be
clear about something. We give our money to our Universities so that they can
educate and coach the future leaders, thinkers and innovators for tomorrow’s
challenges. If you think for one second your dollars should go for “W’s” then
you are missing the point. Yes, successful programs generate money but I would
hope as we are true Auburn men and women that we realize we support every
student with every souvenir, hot dog, sports ticket and donation we give to the
University that we believe in. Furthermore some of us have had the privilege to
attend, graduate and represent this great institution in the world as graduates.

A win or a
loss pales in comparison to knowing that we have had Auburn Alumni in space,
leading cutting edge technology companies, breaking new ground in veterinary
sciences and serving in every branch of the United States military defending
this great Nation.
So as you
reflect on this past week’s game, be thankful for the privilege and the
opportunity to be affiliated with a University that embraces hard work, education,
honesty, a sound mind, body and spirit to compete. We all also believe in the
law because we embrace and know it protects all of us. Know that we believe in
the power of human touch and support for our fellow men.

Walk humbly
with God and be thankful. We are blessed and should always be ambassadors no
matter what the circumstances are. It is our responsibility to always represent
what Auburn University stands for. I love
Auburn University for what it represents and what it means to me and not what
the score of any single game is.
Do not think
that I accept mediocrity or apathy for that is not within me, what I do accept
is that with every trial and challenge there are a set of outcomes. Some that I
can control and some that I cannot. It is from those outcomes I learn how to be
smarter, stronger and better at representing myself and the University that I
cherish.
Everyday I am thankful to be blessed that I found Auburn on my life's journey.
War Eagle!
May your week be AUsome,
