Mr. Saban Goes To Washington

It's got to be discussed. The topic of the day.

I find it humorous that Auburn was mentioned by the President during their moment of glory.

"I've got to tell you, everyone was really excited about this team coming today, except for my Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, because he was born and raised in Auburn. He's hiding in his office right now."

Also, this is from Robert Gibbs' twitter feed.

Wrong team.

Please don't associate Auburn with "Who dat?" It is the sole reason I hate the fucking Saints...

How disappointing. I thought I was the sole reason you hated my beloved Saints... you know, the SUPER BOWL CHAMPION SAINTS???

And as for Gibbs... also disappointing. How did we manage to let him cross over to the (D)ark side?

Auburn is a fairly liberal city

Another moral victory I see. Congratulations on that.

Thats why it went 61-39 against Obama in 2008.

Coming from a SPuat reporter that was there to see the goings on, up close. Terrence Cody didn't go because "he was a pussy"...Rolando McClain didn't go, getting treatment on his hamstring injury before the Pro Day on Wed., Ingram and Jucio didn't go out with the team afterwards, the team went to speak to the less fortunate kids of the area and toured around D.C. Some of the players kept asking "why are we here?"

Birmingham · « **Reply #15 on:** March 08, 2010, 09:59:17 PM »

Prowler, if you're referring to the guy on Finebaum today than what you just said about Julio and Ingram is a lie. What he said is that the tour of the Capital Building didn't include Ingram and Julio. He said they were at the Capital building but sat on a bench during the tour. Not that it makes it better that they were sitting on a bench, I'm just trying to iron out your story.

Everything else in your post is verbatim what he said.

What was your major, "How to Behave Like a mommy part in the Real World"? I seriously doubt you finished college.

Off the bench and swinging for the fences.

Are we only including the resident population, or are we also including the student population?

Valid point.

Students typically vote at their home address.

That being said, I know the AU College Republicans substantially outnumbered the AU College Democrats when I was there.
