A well-written letter to the BOT would probably be more productive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey.….it's Christmas....it's a social event...why not just accept the offer or let it go? As for popularity? who knows.? ...there are about 25000 students and several hundred thousand alums....so a handful of snarky tweets is not a mandate....JMO Enjoy the holiday season and make it a point to spread some good cheer....

And I respect you for keeping your cool. I've unfortunately reached my limit with these fools. The way I see it they're assaulting the athletic department, University, and town. This whole thing from top to bottom has been an embarrassment for Auburn and Steven Leath has no right to handle this the way he is handling it.

Normally they wouldn't. Unfortunately, he's not just any someone right now. It's also fair to suspect the motive, given his silence and lack of acceptance of questionable actions. Some posts here have alluded to expenditures beyond necessary TO "their" home. Here's the thing...leadership is excruciatingly tough, especially when big money is involved. If you lose the people's trust in matters as weighty as what we've all been witnessing, even a holiday gesture may seem hypocritical. No, it's not Africa-starvation-issue-weighty. But truth, even that could have been partially alleviated with an appropriate direction of funds. Kids will tell it like it is, even big kids. The clothes their truth wears may be unsightly, but they point to issues beneath them that we "politically-correct" longer-adults often try to cover in the name of grace or extra patience. Satire has always sold, as impolite as it gets. Sometimes things have to get uberdark before the cleansing light can come. Just my thoughts.
