re: Auburn Students email from their Dean **UPDATED W/ EMAIL**

If someone from LSU sent something like that out I would pull every penny that I give them. How fricking stupid that you would tell your own fans to "not boo" and that the team "isn't trying to lose". My God this country is nothing but a bunch of freaking pansies and vag-es.

I'm having a hard time believing this, but Auburn is "cheesy" enough to do this. No doubt.

here is the "No booing next week" at Aunation.net --

boos have their place and time. If the offense tanks again and Kodi doesn't play something tells me some of the team will be wanting to boo Franklin themselves.

If the offense tanks again I think we'll be passed the time for booing. It'll be time for the rotten tomatoes.

AU fans are as good as any in my book. Yes, they will boo when the coaching totally sucks butt. Get over it

many are justified in their booing, imho

Booing is effective at times. ... Cox was booed last year and he became a better player by the end of the season.

etc

I still think this is fabricated

Subject: Sportsmanship

Dear Auburn Student,
I wanted to remind each of you about the importance of your support for our team and displaying character this weekend when L.S.U. fans and other guests arrive this weekend. First, please join me by agreeing to demonstrate your support for, and not criticism of, our football team. That means no booing! Remember, the team isn't trying to lose the game--the players work hard all spring and during fall camp to be ready to compete in the S.E.C. Let's show our appreciation for their hard work by encouraging them with loads enthusiasm! Secondly, help me show the world what I get to experience everyday: that Auburn men and women are special, dedicated, loyal, fun loving, bleed orange and blue, are compassionate, and demonstrate good will to others, even our competitors.

ESPN Game Day will be in town this weekend and we need everyone to come out and show them how much we support our team. Let's show Chris Fowler, Kirk Hebstreit, Lee Corso and Desmond Howard true fan support and loyalty for Auburn!

The nation will be watching the next two weeks (ESPN, CBS next week), and lets remember to have a great time, enjoy the weekend's activities, watch our language and behavior, and display class, taste, and character in everything we do. I have every confidence you will.

War Eagle!!

There is the whole email, including all of the email addresses that were on it. I have time on my hands to make shite up, but I don't have THAT much time to make up a bunch of names and email addresses

Does this person actually think the booing led to Cox playing better?

Yes, Dr. Green, they certainly are.

'tis true!

I'm working on my Masters in Software Engineering @ Auburn (although I never root for the Plainsmen - always LSU). I got the email today. I thought "I can't wait to read about this on TigerDroppings.com"

He forwarded the email to himself.
For real Mr. Dean?

That along with the fact that used the word "loads" makes me think that Mr. Green is a disco dancing, Oscar Wilde reading, Streisand Ticket holding, genuine friend of Dorothy's.

After a bit more research, apparently Dean Green issued a statement last year after the first incident. LINK
