The Bodda Getta

No school has ever been run like a dictatorship any more than the turd school!!! We never hear about that. Bear himself once told EVERYONE, there are only two opinions that matter at The univ of Ala, Mary Harmans, and myself! Dead serious as he could be! Since the day he died, cub has had more influence over the turds than Bobby had over Auburn, and Bobby has alot! It will always be Auburn against the nation, led by turds! All we have and need are The School, The Town, our Alumni, and fans! Everyone else can kiss our ---!!!!!!!

Bobby Lowder is the most mis understood figure in college football. In his place, if it was my money I'd have a say so too. The biggest complaint about him stems from the fact that the entire SEC wanted the Barfield Years to go on forever, he put an end to that and brought in Dye, the rest is history.

It's funny, the Phil Knights, T Boone Pickets, PBJ's of the world get a pass. Pat Dye said it best, nobody loves us and nobody wants to see us do well but ourselves. Every fan base has an "image" in their minds of where and what they are, UA, LSU, UGA, UF and the rest can't be what they claim to be if Auburn's able to compete. Bobby Lowder did what he could to put Auburn on a level with those schools and they hate him for it.

We'll see if this was some sort of palace coup and there is another player going to step up. Or we'll see how Auburn thrives without a strong leader.

If Auburn University has only produced one strong leader in all these years then we are not the school that I thought we were.

The lesson from the Lowder era? When Auburn fell on hard times in the eighties, there was a man that led recovery. His name was Bobby Lowder. Recovery sometimes takes more than nice. And what is difficult is ofen found with mistakes. Apollo lost lives. So did Shuttle. In fact, some held their breaths until SRM burnout and the will hold their breaths until the last Shuttle sucessfully passes re-entry. I seem to remember lives liost in accidents on the Bay Bridge sites. If you think Lowder wasn't nice in re-building Auburn, don't read the history of how some very importent things got built in these United States-things that have provided us with comforts that we aren't willing to do without. Some men thought of as ruthless consumate thieves have built great universities, and founded libraries through out the world. In there time they were called most anything but nice. There are lessons to be learned in the Lowder era, in fact, lessons are learned until we are too infirm to learn. And sometimes they are way more than we think they are. Thinking about the Lowder era might be one of those times.
