It was a cold, bitter day in January 1988. An awful man called "Die" killed the Orange's hope for an unblemished season by opting for a wuss-like field goal instead of risking losing to a team from the North...where according to our "friends" down South, football just wasn't played.
 
We were all ticked. Many still are. But no one took it as rough as one Tom T********y (aka TomCat) who took a leave of absence from his work to go into a Pyramid-subsidized bunker. Some say he was with Congel himself for those two months. We may never know...
 
...anyway, while secluded watching that wuss-like chip shot field goal go through the nets - aside Ace Ventura the movie was based on all this - TomCat drew up the most scornful thing possible. By taking Auburn Nation's battle cry of "War Damn Eagle" and transposing it with Orange mascot to birth "War Damn Otto", it was TomCat's way of forever mocking Auburn fans with a simimar phrase - a tie some may say - that takes an amazing creature like the Eagle and reduces it to hte same level as, well, a fat fruit.
 
Since that time, we have had major economic woes, wars and Milli Vanilli exposed. Some may equate it to "evolution" or "the ways things happen" or "MadNY3 you are insane"...but those in the know KNOW it is due to what Auburn did that horrible day...and TomCat forever haunts those fans for eternity.
 
War.
Damn.
Otto.
