"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

(BTW - Auburn lost its first recruit partially due to the academic scandal when N. Ball commited over the weekend to play DE at UGA. Source: AJC)

AU is on top of the academic mountain? What mountain might that be? Mount Opelika?
the really sad part is that this kid probably believes it, and thousands of overall wearing, Red Man spittin', stump jumpers wearing orange AU hats are jabbing each other in the arm across Alabama, saying "You tell 'em, boy."
I hate Auburn.
Pat Dye is to Carrie Nation
Darren McFadden is to starting against USC.
Like I have always said - If you can't go to college go to Florida, If you can't go to Florida then go to Auburn.
Mount Opelika = niiiiiiiice.
PWD:
my theory is that Herring was referring to an ACTUAL geographic place, rather that expressing himself metaphorically.
For example, I've heard GTU people talk about "The Hill" because their academic/admininistration building is, oddly enough, up on a hill. Maybe Auburn's academic building (now there's an oxymoron for you) is up on top of a hill, which to some rube from Andalusia, looks like a mountain. It's only a quick leap of logic (such as it is) to an "academic mountain" of sorts.
Or, Will Herring could be more full of crap than a sewage treatement plant, just like that noted defender of academic achievement and integrity, Coach Tommy Tuberville.
avery atkins is to gun control
or
mudcat's car is to helping UGA football
Al Gore is to hip.
Reggie Ball is to counting.
"We’ve climbed up to the top of the nation academically."
Going with the "geographical location" interpretation, perhaps Auburn's giving class credit now for mountain hiking.
