The Legend of the Mattress Kid

Maybe you saw the sign. Whoever made it probably had to explain it the GameDay censors—they were pretty sensitive last week—so they could hold it up: “No, it’s not a dirty inside joke, it’s a shout out to Clifford Grubbs, an old Auburn player with the coolest nickname of any old Auburn player ever.”
