[UPDATE] Though at least four buildings were spray painted, City of Auburn Police Captain William Mathews says that APD officers initially found just two locations on AU’s campus tagged with “FSU” early Sunday morning.
“One was at Foy Hall, 200 block of Thach Ave, and the other was Davis Hall, 100 block of Engineering Drive,” Mathews said. “We have not identified any suspects at this time.”

Auburn’s renewed rivalry with Florida State may have gotten got a little more renewed the night before the BCS National Championship Game.
Several buildings on AU’s campus were spray painted with “FSU” over the weekend. Reports of the vandalism began popping up on Twitter Sunday night.
Auburn student Christian Long, who reported that he found at least five instances of the graffiti, says an RA at his dorm claims the vandalism happened late Saturday night and into Sunday morning.
The back of Teague Hall, a residence hall in the upper quad, was twice tagged by the unidentified vandal(s). Other locations include stairs outside the old Foy Union (which appears to be in view of a security camera), and the stairs in front of Shelby Center.
The statues of Auburn’s Heisman Trophy winners have so far been spared.
The colors of the spray paint used appears to be yellow, red, and blue.
While the talentless vandals were having their way with Auburn walls, Auburn fans were creating art about in Venice Beach.

I’m guessing this was not done by FSU fans, if you know what I mean. And I’m sure you do.
Jamie, I would agree except it was spelled correctly, so pretty sure it wasn’t done by “other” fans…. 😉
The bammers just can’t stand it when AU is successful, as evidenced by their tendency to destroy university property. Pure class, that bunch.
As an FSU fan, I hope whoever did this is caught and pays for all repairs. There is no place for this at all.
So we just “assume” it was “other” fans, if we know what you mean? There’s no proof and no suspects. Stereotyping is ALSO uncalled for and makes you no better than them. Stop assuming. When whomever did this gets caught, THEN you may speak out on “who” did it. Until then, innocent until proven guilty still stands in this country last I checked.
Hopefully, it wasn’t one of our own. Wasn’t Bammer guilty of defacing their own property with API and War Eagle back in the ’50s?
There are making there own tomb stones and they will need them after tonite
