We cover many, many University events. Speakers who spread messages of inequality and peace, stand-up comedy, celebrations, concerts, racial integration. But do you know what many of these events have in common? No one goes to them.
Garfield opened his door to a horde of relatives. They found out he won the lottery and wanted a handout. As the relatives swarmed his porch, I looked up from my breakfast. In loud, twangy Southern dialects, the feline family harassed the famous cartoon-strip cat.
When it comes to legacies for NFL quarterbacks, there's no measuring stick used more by critics than championships. Dan Marino, a hall of famer and nine-time Pro Bowl selection who holds more than seven NFL passing records, often has his stellar career accomplishments overlooked by writers and analysts, who choose instead to focus on the fact that Marino was never able to win a Super Bowl.

Recently I wrote an editorial that was published in my hometown newspaper claiming the gay rights movement to be the new civil rights movement. Apparently I should have sent it to the Auburn newspapers.
