A friend of mine who moved into Starkville last year is a rabid Auburn fan. He graduated from AU and spent time there working for the university. He walked up to me yesterday and said- "Mullen has the best job in the nation". I said- "What?"

He went on to explain that when he was at Auburn, he went to church with Tubberville, would see him around town, etc and people were ALWAYS stalking him and harassing him. He said he saw Mullen and his family at a soccer game and people were acting...get this....NORMAL. He said he couldn't believe it. It was like people were letting them enjoy things and talking normal conversation.

Just thought I'd share that. Btw- I see coaches and administrators from time to time around town and I always make a point to NOT bring up their job, unless they bring it up first. Their body language usually says "Hi- please don't ask me a stupid question about our XXXXX today".
