| The "War Eagle" spirit can't be broken. |
I don’t know Selena
Roberts, and it’s probably a good thing I don’t. We have so little in common,
that I know we could never be any more than acquaintances. How do I know we
have so little in common? First, she attended Auburn University’s School of
Journalism. I never attended Auburn University in any capacity other than that
of a fan.
Some of my twitter
followers are studying journalism at AU right now. This is about as close as I
can come to a common ground. Oh yeah, that and Selena and I both write about
Auburn sports. I have chosen to express the positives about the school and its
sports programs that I have fallen so head over heels in love with. I leave to
your discretion how to describe Selena’s sports writing of all things Auburn.
I am not a
journalist. I would never discredit those that actually have little need of
spell check, and grammar usage from a Microsoft software program. I would do
nothing more than prove my lack of a higher education on a daily basis without
this software aide.
To call myself a journalist would be a slap in the face of
all those that have trained, worked and toiled in the schooling and business of
actual journalism.
The lead up to this
has been to emphasize the absolute astonishment I felt at her attack of the
Auburn football program. Not only was I setback with the latest attack, but her
overall attitude toward our gridiron teams of past and present. Accusations of
such nature that while grandiose in nature, yet were refuted or proven totally
false within hours of her latest attempt. An attempt at tearing down the
football program that so many of us hold so dear.
I am puzzled as to
why someone with obvious connections to an institution would work so tirelessly
at tearing it down. How can you not love Auburn? I fell in love with the place
the first time I went there as a high school student. That love has done
nothing but grow. I just don't understand why.
The gutter is filled
with many vermin. The likes of Finebaum, and Updyke fill the slime ridden
surface of the place where Selena Roberts has taken her professional level of
journalism, if indeed that can be termed professional. The reason she has
chosen to do so escapes me.
I BELIEVE IN AUBURN, AND LOVE IT,
WAR EAGLE!
