Give 'Em Hell, Part 2

Meet Miss Auburn, circa I have no idea.
What does she have to do with bringing the BcS to its knees? Nothing really. But she went to a university that knows the ugly side of this BcS system. They were robbed of an opportunity to play for a National Championship despite going undefeated. In the SEC. Not cool.

So our email target today is Auburn President Jay Gogue. You can read about Jay here.

His email is: jgogue@auburn.edu.

Talking points:
* Congratulate his school on another big victory against Alabama.
* Remind him how Auburn was lumped in with Utah and Boise State in 2004-05 and denied a chance to play for a National Championship and instead had to watch Oklahoma get drilled by USC. You may also want to ask him to ask 10 Auburn alums how they feel about the system.
* Drop in a very parental sounding reminder that universities are there for the students and, by not fighting this silly system, he is not doing right by the student athletes at Auburn.
* Sign your email War Eagle, with possible :). To warm him up.

Remember Jay is a possible ally so be kind.
Until later,

jengel

REALLY appreciate your comments about Auburn. I am the biggest Auburn fan in Fort Worth, and I did email President Gogue using your talking points. It wasn't hard to use the 2004 debacle as fuel. Seems to me in the old days before the BcS, the National Championship was referred to as being a "mythical" championship. Well, after this college season, it is not only mythical, it has now become "mystical" as well. Your Tigers got as screwed as any team this year, not even getting a BcS bowl game. If this year doesn't prove the need for a playoff system, then the fix that is in is so deep, it may be hopeless.
