Aubie Implicated in Cam Newton Scandal

It's about to break nationwide, but Aubie (America's Least Threating Mascot), is now at the center of a new Cam Newton scandal. Apparently, this is new a side of Aubie than we've previously seen.

A rash of laptops have gone missing on Auburn's campus over the past several weeks during football games, and this picture nabbed last week proves of Aubie's involvement:



This is a saddening development for what has been an upstanding, but lame, mascot. Cam Newton's actions are now dragging others down with him.

Apparently, Aubie's also been keeping up with all of the media's coverage of Cam Newton Scandal:


But this is what Aubie apparently thought of the media's reports on Cam:


Now that he's been implicated in the Cam Newton affairs, this cat's in for a rude awakening.

Aubie As A Turkey: True Story Of The SEC's Most Versatile Mascot

In the midst of a email chain between several of us Dawgs and AUMaverick, Earl reminded me of this post from last year detailing the many faces of Aubie.

It reminded me how Aubie out did himself last year by dressing up as a turkey.

Luckily, we sat 5 rows from the field in the Auburn section, so I got some great pictures of it.

I did a post on it last year too, but figured it was worth posting again:





When you see Aubie on Saturday, remember that he isn't threatening.

That is, unless you are going up against him in a job interview or an a game show obstacle course. His experience and skills are unmatched.

The Countdown 2009: 55 Days to Go

55
As in 1955, the year in which Georgia mascot Mike, a brindled English bulldog owned by C.L. Fain, died. Mike lived in the field house on campus and died of natural canine causes in 1955. As his master's thesis, Gene Owens of Fort Worth, Texas, cast the bronze statue of Mike, which is located at the entrance of Memorial Hall. Mike served as Georgia's mascot from 1951 to 1955.

His death opened the door for the Seiler's Uga I, Hood's Ole Dan, in 1956. Hood's Ole Dan was born December 2, 1955 in Columbus, Georgia, and was given to Ceclia Seiler by Frank Heard of Columbus.

Aubie Does It Again

If you were at the Auburn game this past weekend, no doubt you saw Aubie acting his usual goofy self. I highlighted his versatility as a mascot in this post.

Well, here is Turkey Aubie (I took this photo myself, so I can vouch for its authenticity):

The Many Faces of Aubie

Aubie is probably the most goofy and lamest mascot, ever. He is almost as cartoonish as Sparky from Arizona State (who was drawn by a Disney artist).

However, Aubie deserves a category of his own. Not only is he one of the least threatening tigers you will ever meet, but he is remarkably versatile. I'll let the following pictures speak for themselves.


Aubie as Santa Claus

Aubie flying planes and serving our country


Aubie riding a bike (again) into your grandmother's bushes

Kudos to you, Aubie. You are a hard working mascot. James Brown would be proud, except he was a Dawgs fan. You lose, again.
