Today on Twitter Auburn football player Jordan Spriggs made an interesting offer to his nearly 500 followers:
man who is good at writing papers?????????????? i pay…
Spriggs’ Auburn teammate, senior defensive end Antoine Carter re-Tweeted Spriggs’ solicitation while lightly scolding the freshman defensive back:
Another Tiger football player, sophomore linebacker Daren Bates, didn’t find Spriggs’ Tweet so funny:
What would prompt Spriggs to think he could get away with taking a shortcut in such a brazen way?

That can NOT be authentic. Everyone knows that you don’t have to write papers in Asterisk University Sociology courses.
4:37 pm on February 15th, 2011
well this just shows what Auburn football players think they can get away with. Obviously it’s no big deal on the Plains.
4:38 pm on February 15th, 2011
Maybe it was a joke.
4:41 pm on February 15th, 2011
typical auburn school work.
4:44 pm on February 15th, 2011
Wow. Auburn fans know there is absolutely no defense for their players pulling a stunt like this, so rather than try and defend it they are forced to make childish attacks on the messenger. Typical.
5:05 pm on February 15th, 2011
come on .. its the dumb south,, i doubt anybody down there could write a paper
5:05 pm on February 15th, 2011
Par for the [Sociology] course at AU.

I didn’t think Auburn players in sociology had to write papers?
Ah the Barn…happiest family since the Sopranos.
5:36 pm on February 15th, 2011
It’s not SortsbyBrooks fault that au players are so freaking dumb. Even his own teammates are calling him dumb.
6:05 pm on February 15th, 2011
Good for you! Now go see Colonial Bank for your blank ATM card.
6:06 pm on February 15th, 2011
What makes him think he could get away with it? Past experience. He thinks they can get away with anything at Auburn.
6:12 pm on February 15th, 2011
He must not major in Sociology. They don’t have to write papers…..or show up…..or do work.
6:41 pm on February 15th, 2011
Haha, he deleted his account. What a moron.
6:47 pm on February 15th, 2011
yankee - i’m so very dumb that i didn’t even know to use two commas in a sentence and no period at the end! additionally, i always thought that when using ‘its’ in the context you did,, (see those commas- i’m learning!) that it would be ‘it’s’ but thanks so much for enlightening me. if only i was as smart as you! it brings me to tears all the time thinking and wishing and dreaming of being a smart person from the north.

You people are idiots. If academic fraud is so rampant at Auburn why would a player need to take to Twitter to solicit someone to write his paper? Couldn’t he just go to the Auburn Athletics paper writing staff that is funded by Milton McGregor and Bobby Lowder? I’m sure someone of you think such a thing actually exists.
8:22 pm on February 15th, 2011
We ats aubrens is mity proudz of ouah bayund!
9:08 pm on February 15th, 2011
ovrthtop34, you obviously do not investigate or read for that matter, before spouting BS.. Ingram and Julio went on a fishing trip, set-up by an Auburn booster.. The same booster that got J. Harris suspended for what, 6 games?
You also never have to worry about Barners and textbooks.. FACT..
And no need to did into anything at Dr, Phillips HS sicne the Bowl committee already said that THEY paid for the improvements, just like every year, including LSU the previous year. Bama didn;t have a choice in the school they wanted to practice at.. But I’m sure you already knew that..
Asterisk University…. It’s coming
9:39 pm on February 15th, 2011
Well, that was stupid. suspended much?
10:49 pm on February 15th, 2011
@ Rachel…Before you rag someone for grammar usage, learn the importance of CAPITAL letters. Sentences start with “big letters” .
10:55 pm on February 15th, 2011
It must be a god thing.
11:03 pm on February 15th, 2011
To see the value of an university education at Auburn or Bama, go and speak with 20 locals, or save the
airfare and check out poepleofwalmart.com
11:39 pm on February 15th, 2011
These services do exist . It can be used for an outline to start your paper. Or to revise it and fix any grammatical errors.

ramma jamma - thanks for the advice but i find ‘big letters’ annoying- i’m guessing that’s exactly how i would find you to be as well.
9:03 am on February 16th, 2011
That is why he plays defense here.
9:05 am on February 16th, 2011
Hey, give this guy credit for at least taking a class that WASN’T online. That shows true character and the heart of a champion, with a passion for knowledge and a commitment to excellence..
After all, would YOU want to set foot outside at Auburn? Tweet it up, fambly.
9:53 am on February 16th, 2011
I are a Auburn student.
10:50 am on February 16th, 2011
Typical SEC moron.
11:07 am on February 16th, 2011
Washaun Ealey says “sup”
11:58 am on February 16th, 2011
On second thought, I think I’ll take him up on his offer. I could use the cash, and I don’t care if Auburn gets buried because of it.
They won’t, but I don’t care.
12:44 pm on February 16th, 2011
It was a joke. Yeah, that’s it…..a joke. And I had no idea my dad was asking for money.
C’mon guys….
12:54 pm on February 16th, 2011
Rachel,
Who won the war? Thanks!
1:57 pm on February 16th, 2011
I’m surprised that he got “write” right. He’ll probably bean honors student at the barn.
2:14 pm on February 16th, 2011
Listen up all you stupid southerners! Everyone knows that the dumbest person from up north thinks they are smarter than the most astute southerner. We may be homeless methadone addicts, but at least we weren’t born somewhere where the weather is nice and the food is better. Stupid rednecks! HAHAHAHA!!!!!
2:21 pm on February 16th, 2011
I’m surprised he has a paper to write, because most don’t have to attend classes. Eric Ramsey, Brent Fullwood, Brad Lester, Cam Newton the list goes on and on and on
2:40 pm on February 16th, 2011
Well apparently only the Heisman candidates get to take online classes in Sociology even though AU does not offer advanced classes in Sociology, Cam Newton was able to find a way around that problem. Things have gone downhill since Petee left AU.
3:02 pm on February 16th, 2011
I’m an Auburn fan of 40 years and I’ve never heard of this player. If he really is a player, he’s a walk on. No matter what he is, it is very obvious to anyone with half a brain that he was joking around. Only bama fans and the idiot Thayer Evans would take it seriously.
4:00 pm on February 16th, 2011
He should have just asked for Carnell Williams’ old sociology term papers. I’m sure they’re floating around the athletic department and they can be submitted for any subject- guaranteed A+. Lie, Cheat, Steal: The Auburn Way (it’s it in the Auburn Creed)
4:44 pm on February 16th, 2011
Because Cam’s computer guy fell through so he couldn’t type it himself……
4:49 pm on February 16th, 2011
yankee - i’m not sure anyone won but it certainly wasn’t you.
4:57 pm on February 16th, 2011
HAHA BARN FANS BROOKS POISIONED YOUR TOOMERS OAK TREES HAHAHAHAHA
5:15 pm on February 16th, 2011
rachel- not the south! dumb rednecks in the south
5:23 pm on February 16th, 2011
yankee - you’re living proof that ‘dumb’ isn’t based on geography then…
8:50 pm on February 16th, 2011
of course hes got the money to pay people! He’s at auburn! hes got 180 thousand to spend rofl.
9:20 pm on February 16th, 2011
Hasn’t anyone even considered that he is meaning he needs help writing a paper..A friend of mine has tudored students and student athletes alot over the last several years.And has had to help in many different subjects inclduing helping write papers.Does not mean he did it for them though.I know myself was never good at writing papers in HS and college and required help making sure it was done correctly.And don’t you have to pay a tudor? If your doing it yourself.Also, to the person saying students rolled toomers when bryant died.well, iv’e heard that stupid rumor for several years now.I also have seen no proof of it either.Heard of an article written then but what paper was it in?If this was true don’t ya think the paper that had written it would have released this from its archives ‘cuz it would be a huge story at this time.No pics, no archived story.Ya’ll are full of s*@t and are no better than the person that poisened the trees at toomers in my opinion.That does not include every bama fan cuz some I know are just as pissed as I am about the trees.Ok am off my soapbox..Just about had it with ppl like some of these morons though.Hell since 1980 bama has been on probation and investigation more than auburn has so I do not think they have room to talk..Idiots
9:59 pm on February 16th, 2011
Never said he’s the sharpest person and ever considered the repercussions of his words.But if he really meant it as to have it done for him.Then do what needs to be done no doubt.
10:52 pm on February 16th, 2011
southerners aren’t dumb. stereotypes just kill the south… we don’t look at you and say “he must have a new york accent and love philly cheese steaks and he probably is a hitman!”. it amazes me, though, that you northerners are posting on this because what you play up there certainly isn’t football.
10:11 am on February 17th, 2011
@ Kevin: Tudor: The Tudor dynasty or House of Tudor was a prominent European royal house of Welsh origin that ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including the Lordship and Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 until 1603. Tutor: a person employed in the education of others individually or in groups.
Also, your: the possesive. you’re: the contraction of you are. Thus ends the lesson. That will be $50…
11:18 pm on February 17th, 2011
All right you ostriches, get you heads out of the sand. Academically challenged student athletes have tried to get others to write their papers for decades. It doesn’t just happen at one university or in one conference. That’s one of the reasons why NCAA rules have become more stringent — to catch and punish cheaters. The only difference these days is that there is social media where unthinking wanna-cheaters get ratted out faster.
