the place and experience and university we love with its students, alumni and all that it means to go to school there. The bond that results in the lifelong memories and loyalties. The Auburn that makes you smile and pulls you to return and walk around and remember.
There is also the Auburn that is the people who are in charge. Who see the athletic program as their private club and toy. Who are not smart but think that they are. Who tell themselves that it is all done for the good of Auburn and make themselves believe it. Who are inbred, paranoid, xenophobic and devoid of self awareness. Who cannot entertain any outside idea or input regardless of how good it is.
And the good Auburn is not able to rid itself of the bad Auburn.
