- A reader asked why the University of Alabama didn't just expand its' curriculum to prevent Auburn from ever coming into existence. In looking for the answer we may have found the secret origin of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry.
"the dirt don't speak Latin" had me cracking up
"The dirt don't speak Latin". I didn't expect this video to be so entertaining, thank you 😂
The city of Auburn offered land-100 acres, I believe-to sweeten the deal.
Very informative. I love this segment.
Thank God for Auburn. They accepted me as a grad student with a full time job in Tennessee. They offered me opportunities Tennessee was unwilling or unprepared to offer at the time. Auburn changed my professional life and made me a part of their family. You have to be in it; to understand the pull the family has on you once you become a part of it. Thank you for choosing Auburn which gave me my engineering grad degree! War Eagle!!
Great channel, and that's from a Kansan! Kansas State University's full name is still 'The Kansas State University of Agriculture and Applied Science', and, of course, their nickname is the Aggies.
What about and when did API come into play? This timeframe and aspect was overlooked.
Wait... then what is Alabama A&M?
Ben's Hoodie Alabama A & M is the other land grant university created through the Morrill Act.
It’s basically the black Auburn (HBCU). That’s my Alma Mater.
Ben Meyer /
So the history of the black school is just overlooked? The actual Alabama A&M
It came years later when Congress mandated states either accepted students of color, or create additional institution(s) to address the inequity. 1890 if memory serves.
Arn’t they also called land grant university’s or is that something different?
Very interesting. Love it.
Where does the HBCU Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University come into play?
And thus the best school in Alabama was created #WDE
Auburn is a land grant school, but also a sea grant and space grant university now.
why doesn't UA, the largest university in Alabama, simply eat the other schools?
Actually, UA has eaten part of Birmingham. UAB. Called the Unversity that Ate Birmingham !!
Scott Strength that's fair
Someone has to win, so therefore we need Auburn University
Because people who actually want a good education or want to go to a good vet school need a place to go to college😊
War Dam Eagle.
So, where did the rivalry between Georgia Tech and Auburn come from? And where did it go?
-a confused Georgia student
probably had something to do with John Heisman
Both are Engineering schools
And what happened is that Georgia Tech is no longer part of the biggest and best conference in college football “the Southeastern conference” they are part of the much weaker ACC
Grease the tracks
Go look up engineering school rankings. Alabama is #106 auburn is #75.
Stidum is so f’in great
Florence was in an area that had a lot of Union sympathy during the war, and was nowhere near the Black Belt agricultural region. The legislature later "compensated" by putting the second land grant at Alabama A&M in the Tennessee Valley.
Well shoot I’m an Ohio state fan and this was pretty interesting... the more you know
WAR DAMN EAGLE!
Monica Moore no
Monica Moore WAR EAGLE
GO DAWGS
TH3 GR3AT GAMER you Roll Tide
Monica Moore War EAGLE!!
Why no mention of Alabama A&M? It was founded in 1875 and located in Huntsville. Ironically, it is much less of a science and engineering school than its neighbor, the U. of Alabama Huntsville (UAH), which is part of the UA system.
AAMU was also created under Morill Act, just later
That's what I thought
professor Eugene "Sledge hammer" Sledge. the top war eagle! RIP Sledge hammer!
“healthy outlet”
When you say "oldest university," you may be correct about U of A; however, Florence (now the home of UNA) is the site of the state's oldest college.
roar lions
Terry Bowden dust they ass in the 90's Tuby tuberiville did the same in 2000's era
I enjoyed playing football as a kid but these guys can't get a buzz without a concussion.
Been asking this forever, never new they were AGGIES ! ROFL. Auburn Aggie's ! Whoa. Lol.
I love auburn university!

The University of Alabama has it's own set of important majors so to be VERY honest the two of them make for a good team in the State of Alabama. Lawyers, Doctors, Journalists and Geologists from UA, Engineers, Astronauts, Pilots, Foresters and Farmers from AU. The people of the state need to embrace the opportunities both schools offer and keep the Iron Bowl to one day a year. Not going to happen! LOL WDE!
Florence reppin!!!
Very Good!... #154 ✝ {3-11-2023}
It took 25 years to correct the mistake
*isn’t from an upper crusty family but is double majoring in Classics: Latin and English Literature. 😬
Florence and the College / University here didn't get a fair shake then, and still doesn't today when you look at how poorly UNA is funded by the state compared to other state schools.
😎
To piss off Bama.
Really just really
In order to serve as a punching bag for the Florida university system.
Somebody's gotta teach football! Therefore Auburn exists.
war eagle!
Good troll
Jo Ellen Broetzmann who cares oh you do?!
Using bammer math Auburn has 10.
Andress Stacey War Eagle!!
Auburn had the state’s first professor to hold a PhD, Dr. George Petrie. U of A tried to snag him but he refused to leave. Auburn has been the state’s leader in higher education since and will never look back.
For football that it! Same with Alabama
The guy who was reading the script needs to study pacing speech.
And people say history isn’t important and is boring.
chicannery
I live in los angeles and dont have a dog in the fight but as a ucla fan I'm wll to familiar to being little brother " usc " so war fucking eagle ! Lmao
Doesn’t surprise me in the least bit that the editors from an AL publication would gloss over an HBCU with an A&M namesake
It exists to make Alabama fans salty and triggered. Can we count to 11? Can we? 1, 2, 3...
Auburn exist
Auburn exists because Alabama had to have at least one first rate university.
WAR EAGLE
Bammers at al.com gotta cry cry cry. Lol
War Eagle!!!
Simple. Football. Just like the rest of the SEC schools not named Vanderbilt.
After they saw what they had at Alabama they had to start over to get the best!! War Eagle!
Because great running backs need place to go to school
Damn that was a good lie well put together. but it is still a lie
I looked at the title of the video and I thought "Well it sure as hell isn't because of there football team." Roll Tide
Why does UofA exist? It's a dating site for cousins.
That's how your parents met. Congrats 🤣🤣🤣
Proper name for Auburn University is Auburn A&M or simply "The Cow College."
You know what they call Tuscaloosa? Thug-on-the-loosa. Or at least that is what I have been told by Auburn fans. Go Hogs.
And yet auburn is still the superior university
Somebody's gotta be the second best team in ALABAMA!!! GO BAMA GO!!! SABAN FOR PRESIDENT 2024
And Auburn goes informally by the "War Eagles" because the official nickname "Tigers" isn't fierce enough sounding. Yeah.
this is dumb it exists because it can. war eagle
The dirt don't speak Latin. Need to become a new saying in America that was funny
WAR EAGLE!
So Alabama can get some practice before facing a real team
To get beat by Alabama 😂
LOL!
26-14
But we won so
jared walker You won a battle but you are still losing the war. The real score 17-2.
Remember when Alabama was shitty at football 15 years ago buddy...
so cousins & brothers & sister could marry!
Daisyno2 🖕🖕WDE
Hmmm well if this is why auburn exist we can make auburn less important and take back the state. Just look at Cincinatti and Ohio St look who's more important. We can turn Auburn into Cincinatti if we do these things. 1: we need to kick Auburn out of the SEC 2: we need auburn to suck at sports and thankfully this is happening right now *in terms of football and basketball* 3: cancel the rivalry game. Just look at Ohio St do you see them have a rivalry game with the other teams in Ohio. I don't think so we will do the same thing. With a united Alabama under Crimson and Elephants we can infulence other states and maybe even take over the U.S and the world. *if people outside of USA cared for American Sports.* anyway that's my plan to fix Alabama.
Why getting tierd of us kicking your ass every few years. Auburn is a much prettier and nicer school. Alabama is in a crap hole and teaches people the wrong reasons for being in school. Try if you must just getting stronger and growing every year. War Damn Eagle!!!!!!! You want have your boy coaching much longer.
@@patmason7276 TREASON TREASON vs the state of Alabama our flag is crimson and you can't change that were the real Alabama also im from Indiana but still a Alabama fan. I know how Alabama feels and wants to get rid you *georgia to* also in order to make Alabama great we need more people incoming from outside states that support Alabama instead of Auburn and that's most likely since no one cares about Auburn outside of Auburn AL also I can make Alabama turn into a better school by hiring more experienced professors and people. Also we will need to improve the infastructure. Once that is complete we will make you feel obsolete and Auburn to
Also there is a reason why the evil buckeyes overshadow us because there state is united expect for Cincinatti. Also you want this state to be better if you do trust us we won't trash talk you guys in return we need you to leave the SEC and we bama fans won't mess with you again.
@@samueljones3550Being from Indiana explains everthing .Nope staying around to spoil your chances to go to the national championship every chance we get thats a promise!!!! Some team has to add class to Alabama we had more Heisman trophy winners than y'all did till recently. Been to the moon had a Auburn flag in space also discovered cures for alot of issues. We might let y'all stick around . Alabama team does have the ugliest uniforms in college football guess that motivates them to win. We have fans all over the world and Mr. Heisman was at auburn.
You know nothing about Infulence and staragey. I'm trying to help this state but this state can't get its act together. Wait a minute I know what to do. We can add a NFL team to Alabama and that will make auburn way less special.
Roll tide all the way
WAR EAGLE
