If Grantland Rice and John Grisham had a love child

Their love child couldn't write a sports quote better than this one from Auburn's Will Herring on the academic scandal on the Plains:

"It has not been a distraction, not to the team," linebacker Will Herring said. "Has it been fair? I can say it hasn’t been fair, but life’s not fair, you know? We’ve climbed up to the top of the nation academically and when you’re on top, people want to shoot you down."

EDSBS has more on this quote and the latest on the Auburn mess. In the meantime, we should have an SAT style analogy contest.

Auburn is to The Top of the Academic Mountain as...

Pam Anderson is to Virgin
Elvis is to Subtle
Phil Fulmer is to Skinny
James Brooks is to Literate
Lambeau Field is to Heat Stroke
Rich Brooks is to Steve Spurrier

Feel free to add more.
