Welcome To Greatness: The Alabama Crimson Tide

“I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.” A statement George Petrie could not have worded better. This is a line from the Auburn Creed that lived not only in 1945, when it was written, but it lives even more strongly with every generation to come. As a future student of Auburn, I see the importance of the Auburn Creed and can relate this first line very closely to my life now, and forevermore. Since I was little, I have been trying out anything and everything that would make myself a better person. As Petrie states, this is a very “practical world”. This, to me, means that the world is a real place, not a fairytale or a utopian community where a person can achieve

The Unique History of Alabama State University "One must return to the past in order to move forward", is an old African proverb that has been used to explain the purpose of studying history. This African proverb not only refers to the study of American history, but also the study of

Alabama has had success in the there football program. Alabama has had some of the best coaches in College football history like Bear Bryant (Hoes 7). They have also won 17 National Championships (Heos 7). They have also had the best recruiting, for example they have drafted legends like Ozzie Newsome and Joe Namath (Heos 25).

One of the most damaging algae species known to Florida along the south-west coast is the Karenia brevis, also known as Florida red tide. These microscopic algae bloom all year around in the Gulf of Mexico producing brevetoxins, which contains a suite of neurotoxic polyether compound. These blooms can last as long as 18 months fluctuating between insignificant blooms to critical, impacting both the marine ecosystems and humans health (Pierce and Henry, 2008). The Florida red tide will continue to be the cause of unexplained fish and other animal deaths, along with human illnesses unless more research and observations is done to find a way of controlling these algae blooms.

Lauren Deatherage October 31,2011 Rhetoric and Research MWF 2:00- 2:50 Dr. Aaron Adams “The Culture of Auburn University Football” To the majority of America, Auburn University Football is just a sport. To the thousands of Auburn Tigers fans worldwide, it is so much more than that. Tim Stanfield describes it as “…more than a game…it’s a passion” (Stanfield et al. 61). The culture surrounding Auburn Tigers football is a family and tight-knit community. As Pat Dye, past coach of the Auburn Tigers puts it, “We are close here, and that is part of what it means to be a Tiger” (Glier xii). There are generations of Tigers fans, “family” traditions, and the support and encouragement of a family behind every Tiger out there playing. To be a

During the early 20th century college football played a bad role and influence on American culture by diminishing a good college education. I oppose the role that college football had on American culture because it took away from the main purpose of going to college, which was getting a good

What do you think of the phrase SEC west dominance? If you’re a fan of any SEC east team, this term likely creates the same annoyance as fingernails across a blackboard. Unfortunately, SEC east teams have done little to discredit this oft touted mantra. SEC east teams, which include Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, all fallen short in recent years when facing SEC west foes.

Texas A&M has an okay acceptance Honestly as of right now I still do not know exactly what I want to do. However I do know that I would like to be involved in computer science. Texas A&M has a great opportunity for me to achieve my dreams. They offer computer science degrees such as minor in computer science, bachelor of science in computer science, master of science in computer science, master of computer science and even a doctor of philosophy.

The great thing about A&M is that it's not to hard to get into.

Based on the combination of academic quality and affordability, Texas A&M is constantly recognized as a top value in higher education. Out-of-pocket costs and much lower than the published costs of attendance, given that Texas A&M is able to offer over $626 million in financial assistance each year. The total amount of expenses for four years is $27,208, which includes tuition fees, room board, book supplies, estimated

Fly. Hit. Never Quit. It is a new school year yet again, at Seminole High School. Which means it is another year filled with excitement. Drama shows, dances, sport events are just a few example. The most important event though, is the homecoming game.

Usually, when the Fall comes around in Dallas, it means one or two things. The Grambling State University (GSU) Tigers vs. the Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) Panthers’ game and the State Fair of Texas. By all means everything fell into place on October 1, 2016. The

Taylor Branch constructed an essay, “The Shame of College Sports,” arguing for corruption to end in collegiate sports. In his essay, Branch begins with the creation of the NCAA and how it became so powerful. But, the NCAA couldn’t hold all of the revenue because the big time colleges felt they deserved more money for bringing in the revenue in the first place. After colleges started to abide by the “eat what they kill” mentality, big colleges started to start making undesirable decisions in order to get more funding for their schools. The examples listed by Branch include: under-the-table monetary compensation to bride high school athletes, pay-to-play funds to give athletes money while they played, and allowing academically-challenged athletes

The university you choose to further your education should be a place where you feel comfortable to attend. Being connected with the environment surrounding your school is vital in making sure that you enjoy your college years. Being involved in sporting events creates an easier path for a student to

My only visit to Alabama was to see my uncle’s Renal Hypertension Clinic in Dothan. While I did not get to spend much time, I could see that Dothan offered affordable housing and mild winter weather which was a pleasant change from the harsh winters of Colorado. What I saw in Dothan and hope to see in other parts of Alabama should I get accepted into UAB School of Medicine is the strong work ethic, trained workforce, and diversified
