In the interest of fairness....

Everybody knows the Auburn - Alabama game is this weekend and although I am an Auburn fan I have family and many friends who are Alabama fans so in the interest of fairness I thought I would post both the Auburn and Alabama creeds.

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 to 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)

The Alabama Creed

We believe that this is a delusional world and that we can talk only about what Bear did. Therefore, we believe in the past, the distant past.

We believe in education, and though we did not technically attend the University of Alabama, we know a guy that did.

We believe in honesty and truthfulness, because when the punishment for marijuana possession is ice cream, there is really no need to lie.

We believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid. Well, maybe a little afraid of the thumb.

We believe in obedience to law, except for the ones concerning money laundering, because they hinder recruiting.

We believe in the human touch, even if we have to pay for it at seedy Pensacola strip clubs.

We believe in our Country, because it is a land of freedom, and where else on Earth could a man wearing a gold chain earn two million dollars a year losing football games.

And because Alabama men and women believe in these things, We believe in Alabama (football) and love it, when we are winning.

Little Known Fact

Not many people know that the toothbrush was invented by a professor at the University of Alabama. That invention has been confirmed because if it had been invented anywhere else it would have been called the teethbrush.

Happy Birthday Dad

We miss you so much but we are so thankful for the positive influence you had on all of our lives. As I get older it becomes very clear just how great of a person and father that you were. I hope I can just be half the person you were. I love you.
