By James Deagle | January 12

While I agree with your contention that a simple "Merry Christmas" (or "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Ramadan") should not offend anyone, I don't think it is over-sensitive atheists who pose the biggest threat to the role of this holiday in North American culture, nor any perceived decline of its representation in stores or at schools.

Gus Malzahn: innovative mastermind or overpaid?

By Coleman McDowell / ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR | November 17

Gus Malzahn is overrated. Someone had to say it. So far this season through 10 games, Auburn is ranked 84th in total offense. With the talent Malzahn has to work with, the production has been unacceptable.
