Let me tell you something Sgriswol@hotmail.com if that's even your real name—does the name DOUG BARFIELD mean anything to you because it does to me. It means HEARTBURN and TUMS and some dark days of Auburn football. Now look at that 2010 painting on your wall and thank the LORD for Jay Jacobs this man got us our national champipnship and Gus Malzahn will too. Jay Jacobs has had to fight through dark spiritual days and Harveey Updyke and he still stands strong and I support him. We need a leader not a loser and we still DO!!!! WAR EAGLE GLAD TO HAVE THE OLD WEBSITE BACK

"What comes next sits squarely on my shoulders," Jacobs says. Seems to me that what happened last year also sits squarely on his shoulders. He didn't give Chizik another year when he said he could turn the losses around. Why should Jay get another year if he didn't give Chizik one?

Seriously? THIS is what you chose to report on last night? How about the death of an Auburn student? No? We're just going to let that one slide? I'm not even going to tell you his name. Do your job and get some reporting done. His memorial is tonight. Don;t let him go unremembered.

I was a in attendance at the meeting yesterday and was absolutely stunned with the announcement made by the Dean of the College of Business. I would describe his demeanor as arrogant, cold and calculated. His dislike of the aviation program was quite apparent and to say that just keeping the Aviation Management program while scrubbing the Professional Flight Management Program was in the best interest of everyone involved was disingenuous at best. My daughter is entering her junior year at Auburn as a declared Professional Flight Management student. The Dean's statement does not consider any of the current students in the program. What did not get answered after this bomb shell he dropped was the future of these students. If you ask, the administration will say those students will be allowed to complete their degree in Pro Flight. But when you start to dig deeper, if the flight program will soon be contracted, the AABI accreditation will be lost and a Pro Flight degree will be from a non-accredited program. These students will be no better off than if they did not complete a program. SO...please tell me Dean Hardgrave, or any other administrator who has "THOUGHT THIS THROUGH", how is this considering the current students? I don't expect that I will get the decency of a logic response, but I will endeavor to pursue the truth and was is best for my daughter.

"Teach for Awhile" is a well-funded racket. It's mostly a way some top-tier kids can climb up into a better grad school. Many alumni even become education policy "experts" after taking a few years of lumps. They'll often find roles in various well-funded and connected organizations embracing the same deform being pushed down on the education profession since arguably the mid-1980s. Then again, a few alumni see the light and do become well-informed as they gain understanding of the challenges in teaching. Many of those wind up being rather critical of TFA and similar snake oil. Perhaps most join up for the very best of reasons, but the record of TFA is clear. It's another top-down education "reform" where real problems are painted over with gimmickry. The idea that sending a few smart kid, with the very best of intentions we'll assume, into a classroom of poor kids somehow levels the playing field for the poor is offensive. That TFA will send young folks, even if the cream of the crop, to a crash course in the complexities of what teaching involves is bad enough. That they'll then send these unprepared rookies into often the neediest schools disgusts me. Experience and research repeatedly shows TFA's failures, excepting of course how it polishes up resumes and perpetuates magic pony thinking.

Carol you have done what only my first wife and one uncle have been able to make me do: CRY! Your poem touched and inspired me. My doctor says the best way for me to respond emotionally right now is with poetry and creative writing so I'll try my own. LEAF To many you were just a tree But it was always more to Louis and me Saturdays at Toomers Oaks Holding hands and throwing rolls of toilet paper with Auburn folks On the last day of your life I was there We rolled you out of respect and jubilation But the next day we rolled it again because the equestrian team won the national championship And I took a leaf Not all poetry has to rhyme. WDE I will always remember Toomers. -Roy
