If you can't make it to Auburn -- no worries! A-Day will be live on CSS, starting at 2pm ET.

While everyone has been busy crunching numbers for their taxes (or filing extensions!), the Atlanta Auburn Club has been busy planning a number of exciting events, including a Habitat House Build, a special night of "Tiger Talk" about the do's and don'ts of college recruiting, another Young Alum event --- and late breaking details about our next, very special Atlanta Auburn Club Orange Bandana Day......
(Hint: We're headed to Turner Field!) Full details on all of these events, plus our BIG golf tournament in June, plus a whole lot more are below.

Sure, it's Tax Day --- but it's also time for something else! Time to renew your local membership in the Atlanta Auburn Club! Our membership cards for 2009 are ready-to-go and we'll be sending out a special membership email next week. AAC dues are still the same: $20 for individuals, $30 for families... and first-year alums are always Free! Your continued support of our efforts is much appreciated!

That's it from us for now. As always, if you ever have any questions, ideas or suggestions -- feel free to email us any time (our club president works hard to answer every one of them!) We hope to have word soon on a date for our BIG Game Day event in July. And... in addition to Facebook, we are also giving Twitter a whirl (or should we say Tweet?) now too! Have a great weekend everyone....

AAC Hosts a "Tiger Talk" Night on Wednesday, May 13
Don't be like the Tennessee Vols' Lane Kiffin....Know the NCAA rules!

logoMake plans to join the Atlanta Auburn Club for a fun and informative night of "Tiger Talk" about college recruiting, Auburn and NCAA rules.

We are pleased to welcome as our special guests for the evening: Rich McGlynn, Auburn Associate Athletics Director, Compliance; and, Bernard Hill, Auburn Associate Athletics Director, Compliance.

Rich and Bernard will be in Atlanta for an NCAA meeting. We have long wanted to get them here to meet more metro area Tigers, and to share their inside scoop on what is what in the SEC and the NCAA. These guys are great... and they make compliance fun!

The best part: they will answer your questions...about Auburn and those "other" schools! So, come join us for some casual, fun & lively discussion!!

The AAC will also be holding a raffle to benefit our 501(c)(3) Roy B. Sewell Memorial Scholarship Fund.

When: Wednesday, May 13
Time:Happy hour starts at 6:15p-6:30p. Our Tiger Talk session will start at 7:30p.
Where:Vita Restaurant, 2110 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Ga. 30309; Tel: 404-367-8482; On the web at: http://www.vitaatl.com/

Event is free to attend, but everyone is on their own for food and drinks. (We are trying to make this as recession-friendly as possible!) Check out Vita's web site for a peek at the menu!

We have hopes that Auburn and Atlanta's own Paul Hemphill will also be able to join us that night to sign copies of his book, "A Tiger Walk Through History: A Compete History of Auburn Football from 1892 to the Tuberville Era." More details as the date draws closer.

Note: We have tried to pick a location that is easy to reach. Vita is located just north of Piedmont Hospital and just south of Peachtree Battle; it's across from The Fresh Market on Peachtree; and Marta Bus Line 23, which runs from Lenox to the Arts Center, stops right in front of the restaurant. From Cobb County, take I-75 south to Northside Drive; then take Collier Road to Peachtree Street.

imageFormer Auburn Baseball Coach Dies
April 13, 2009
AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn's longest tenured head baseball coach, Paul Nix, who coached the program for 22 years from 1963-84, passed away Monday at the age of 76. Nix had an overall record of 515-376 and guided the program to a pair of NCAA College World Series berths, three Southeastern Conference championships, one SEC Tournament title and six SEC Divisional titles. He was named the SEC Coach of the Year five times.
Prior to his tenure at Auburn, Nix was the head baseball coach at Troy State where he tallied a 77-37 record in six seasons. In 28 years, Nix was 592-413.
"Paul Nix was a great Auburn man and we are extremely saddened by his passing," Auburn Athletics Director Jay Jacobs said. "He laid a strong foundation for our baseball program and brought it national recognition with Auburn's first-ever College World Series appearance. He was well respected by his players and developed many that went on to have successful careers in and outside of baseball. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."

Get Involved
There are nearly 100 local Auburn Clubs throughout the country, and through these groups alums have the opportunity to participate in various fund-raising activities either directly for their local club scholarship or towards the Association's Endowed Scholarship.  In 2005-2006, more than $178,000 was raised by local clubs for students in their areas to attend Auburn.

How else can I give?
Just make your tax-deductible contribution to the 'Auburn University Foundation', designating your local club scholarship or the Alumni Association Endowment in the "Notes" line of your check. Or if you prefer give online and choose "Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship" as your gift designation or specify your local club scholarship in the 'note other gift area here' space.

Words of the Late AJC Columnist Lewis Grizzard...on Auburn
The following is a column written by the late Atlanta Journal-Constitution syndicated columnist Lewis
Grizzard. It was titled Lewis Grizzard on Auburn, and was written and published in December, 1972....the year of the Amazins'.

 
I must admit the fact an Auburn man once saved my life has something to do with all of this. And I must
admit further what follows will be completely biased. I simply couldn't allow the opportunity to pass without saying a few more words in behalf of the 1972 Auburn football team.
 
And in behalf of Auburn itself.
I got my first taste of sin at Auburn; 16, or close to it, with a bottle of Old Something an of-age friend had purchased at the state store up the road at Opelika. As I recall it now, I wound up in a lonely stall in the third-floor restroom of a fraternity house while the party roared onward downstairs. There, as my life flashed in front of me and, being grateful I had at least heeded my mother's words not to smoke, a kind Auburn student, a veteran of such incidents, wet-toweled me back to health. I never got his name, but I have been forever grateful, and I have held a  warm place in my heart for Auburn ever since, although I sought higher education elsewhere.
 
It is with that preface I hereby state I do, indeed, hope Auburn wins its Gator Bowl game against
Colorado, and that is the signal for all my poison pen pals from down the road in Tuscaloosa to start
buying stamps.
 
Auburn.
I think of purity for some reason.  
Of nothing to do but go to Toomer's and talk about what you talked about the day before and the day
before that. Of a low hippie ratio on campus. Of real grass growing on the football field. Of grown men in sweaters and open-collared shirts with 50-yard line seats.  I think of Gerald Rutberg, a friend of mine, who edited the college newspaper at Auburn and used to ask me every day how I thought "The Big Blue" would do against whomever.  Of Bottle, Ala., which is actually a suburb of Auburn. Of the Yearouts. Of Pat Sullivan, still the most exciting college football  player I've ever seen.
  
Of Shug Jordan.
There are two remarks that still stand out in my mind concerning Shug  Jordan, and those two lines say it all. I once asked Harry Mehre if he thought Shug would quit coaching amidst the illness and the rumors. "Shug will coach as long as he can. He still loves the things most coaches don't think about anymore. He still loves the rah-rah part of this thing. He walks onto the field and hears all that War Eagle business they do down there, and Shug knows it's all worthwhile," said the old coach.
The first time I went to Auburn on business, I asked former Journal colleague, Tom McCollister, what kind of interview was Shug Jordan. "Talking to Shug," Tom replied, "Is like talking to your daddy."
 
Auburn.   
I think of the basketball coach, Bill Lynn, who looks and sounds like a hard-shelled Baptist preacher.  
Of journalism professor David Housel saying, "Auburn is in the best interest of the American dream."
Of Buddy Davidson, who has never found either of the two topcoats I have left in the Auburn press box.
Of Bill Beckwith, the worst golfer in history ever to score a hole-in-one. Of a golf tournament they had at Auburn once and the beer they carted to you on each tee, and of shooting 95 after being one-over through seven holes. That damn beer.

imageOf Randy Walls.
Randy Walls was the quarterback in 1972, Sullivan's successor. He was the number four quarterback at
the end of spring practice. "It wasn't what Randy did for us this year," said an Auburn coach. "It's what he didn't do. He didn't make mistakes."

Actually, he did make one. So excited was he about starting Auburn's first  game, the young sophomore
went out for the pre-game warm-up with his jersey on backwards.

In the Georgia Tech game, Randy Walls didn't do anything right but win the football game. "I didn't know
Walls could run like that," somebody in the press box said after a 30-yard jaunt that resembled your
grandmother going after the mail. "He can't" was the reply. He can't. But he did.
    
Auburn.
I think of the pasture land adjacent to the campus. Of my favorite Auburn lines, "What do you get if you
cross an Auburn man and a gorilla?" A hairy county agent."  Of not being able to smoke in the Auburn Coliseum. Of the old Sports Arena and Layton Johns. Of Terry Henley. "Them FSU players bit me on the leg in the pile-ups," said Terry Henley, college football's answer to Will Rogers. "They must not have had their pre-game meal." Did Terry Henley get tired carrying the football 25 times a game? "Hell, no," said Terry Henley. "I carried it 50 times a day in spring practice."
     
Auburn.
I think of unlisting my telephone number after an irate Auburn fan, a woman, called my home and said
she hoped poison darts rained down on my body and I died. Of a fellow from my hometown writing me and saying to never come back  because "you stink, stink, stink." And all because I wrote Pat Sullivan was bush for not talking to writers after losing to Alabama. Of picking against Auburn all year long, except once --the LSU game. Of Owen Davis' line, "Jordan waved his hand, and the Red Shirts parted."
Of Auburn students covering the whole town in toilet paper after the Alabama victory and somebody
saying, "You mean they used both rolls?"
 
Auburn.
It went 9-1 when it wasn't supposed to win three; defeated three top 10 teams, stopped the nation's
longest winning streak three times, got a bowl bid, and did my heart a lot of good.
 
WAR EAGLE!!!
Lewis Grizzard 

How You Can Help the AAC Provide HOPE for Metro Area Students

At the beginning of the year, the Atlanta Auburn Club presented Auburn University with checks totaling $40,000 in scholarship funds. This total included $14,000 for the club's Annual Scholarships to be awarded for the 2009/2010 school year, $25,000 for our Atlanta Auburn Club Endowment Fund, and an additional $1,000 for the Lauren Burk Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Thanks to your continued support of our scholarship fundraising efforts in the 2007-2008 club years, the AAC has raised a grand total of $60,000 in scholarship funds to help metro Atlanta area students -- now and into perpetuity. It is an impressive achievement that we can all celebrate and be proud of!

While we continue to work in 2009 and beyond to raise scholarship funds, you can help us grow the AAC endowment even quicker by designating a portion of your Annual Giving donation to this fund!

If you would like more information on how you can make a donation to the AAC's 501 (c)(3) Roy B. Sewell Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc., please contact our club president, Kathleen Saal, at: communications@atlantaauburnclub.org -- WAR EAGLE!
