From the April 21, 1988 issue of the Auburn Plainsman… the kind of find that makes it all worth it. Leave your best alternate caption—It’s hard to wrestle with them angels when you’re locked in them handcuffs? Don’t tase me, Bo?—in the comments.

The Plainsman has had some great cartoonists over the college years. But there was this stretch from the early 70s through the early 80s where there was some real, like, graphic novel quality stuff happening in the editorial pages. Case in pointiest: “Kevin and Kell,” “Safe Havens,” and “On The Fastrack” creator Bill Holbrook‘s copyrighted [...]

A 1985 baseball scouting report on the “the best pure athlete in America today” who “can win the Heisman Trophy next year.” The baseball scouting report. (“Don Baylor type body?” Don Baylor wishes!)

So weird—we’re worried about people what will think about it. And it’s 2013. On the internet. But apparently in March 1987, an above the fold photo of a dude walking around campus with what appears to be a inflatable sex doll on his shoulders was just another front page for the Plainsman. No explanation, no [...]

But after two, trying years of trying to convince our readership that an actual, live tiger was associated with Auburn Football once upon a Birmingham, we’ve finally stumbled upon photographic proof of the beast’s existence. And the Plainsman was right—fella looks a little [...]

We’d heard there was a ‘Bear’ skin rug in Sewell Hall. Just didn’t know what it was used for. (It was used for the greatest Auburn photo ever.) For more Aubie calendar magic, go here.

Every year he wins or should-have-wons the mascot championship, we wonder when it was that mascots began being measured by their ability to cram as many pop-culture references inside a two minute skit. But that goodness it is, ’cause Aubie is an old pro. The Terminator we knew about (Aubie Back). We should have guessed [...]

It’s a good thing Charlie Crawford retired when he did. Because he may not have been able to handle this past weekend. Crawford was Auburn’s Superintendent of Landscaping, the man in charge of things like removing toilet paper from campus, for several, several years. From what we’ve been told and what we’ve read, he seems [...]

Wow, what a great A-Day! And look, Ethel! The 1973-74 Auburn majorettes are holding up signs that spell out “War Eagle!” Wait, looks like they may have misspelled… wait… what are they… first that baseball game, now this?!  DON’T LOOK, ETHEL!!
