Did Auburn steal its War Eagle battle cry from Georgia?

Here's the first two paragraphs:

Quote
When it comes to explaining the origins of "War Eagle" as Auburn's signature battle cry, it seems fans rarely go beyond the same handful of theories they've spent years choosing whether to believe.

Some prefer the dramatic (and extremely made-up) tale of a Civil War veteran and his beloved eagle watching the first-ever Auburn-Georgia game in 1892, while others are drawn to the comparatively dull story of a Carlisle player named Hawkeagle (not Bald Eagle, as it's often told) who might have influenced a play call that might have sparked a century-long tradition.

The rest of the article is long and not worth reading.

Actually, the rest is worth reading. The conclusion is, no they didn't.

And it is the most substantiated origin story of how War Eagle came to be than any other I've heard. This appears to settle it once and for all with factual evidence.

I'll agree the headline was sensationalist bullshit though.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
