Forget Franklin. Fire Dean Green
« on: September 17, 2008, 05:46:50 PM »
Auburn students were reminded to show good sportsmanship and not boo the home team in a message sent out today by the dean of students.

  Dean Johnny Green urged students to support the ninth-ranked Tigers in their nationally televised game against No. 6 LSU Saturday. "That means no booing!" he wrote in bold letters.

What was he thinking?

BTW, it's the screaming read headline story on al.com

He's senile. 

Seriously, WHY WOULD YOU E-MAIL THAT?  For one, it makes it look like he's expecting Auburn students to boo.  That says we're a booing fan base.  We booed one time - it was really bad, mind you - but it was only once. 

Two, the media is constantly looking for ways to smear the AU program.  Think before you speak, or in this jackass' case, e-mail.

The Dean just made Auburn look like it's little sister.......uat.  He probably sent it out, not thinking that someone would post it on the web in a flaming manner.

While I agree with him and the intent was good, the idea to widely distribute such a message was not thought out too well. Firing him may be overkill, but he a nice hard slap to the back of the head should suffice.

Meh.  I'm in a firing mood. 

AU alums?  Please let the president know how disappointed you are in this guy's action.  I'm sure coach Tuberville is as pleased as we are.

Wow.  What a douchebag.  If I have to pay an outlandish amount to get from my house into the stadium only to watch the starting quarterback embarrass the entire team, then I will boo whenever the fuck I want.  This isn't the goddamn mountain west.  We have a little bit higher expectations here.

And the reason they don't boo in the Mountain West is because no one attends their games.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
