I Believe in Auburn and I love it!

War Eagle! As you may have heard, Auburn won the BCS National Champioinship. If you haven't heard, then you are probably living under a rock and therefore don't have an internet connection so you won't be reading this anyway. There were 78,000 people at the celebration in the stadium today! In case you were wondering, only 35,000 fans showed up when Bama had their celebration last year (just thought I'd throw that out there). You can say what you want about Cam Newton, and you can have your own opinion on the Tigers/War Eagle tradition, but there's no denying that Auburn has some of the best team spirit in the nation. It's cheesy, but the whole "Auburn family" thing is true. Auburn fans stick together, and I couldn't be prouder to be a part of the Auburn family, win or lose. Although I must admit, it feels pretty dang good to be the champs!!

The Auburn Creed

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.

I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
-George Petrie (1945)
