There have been many famous ballet stars who did not have the ideal body or total mastery of all aspects of the art form, but on the stage they possessed magnetism-true artistry, by which I mean a charismatic quality.

Susan Elizabeth PhillipsCongratulations to the Auburn team and coach Malzahn. The piece for us was that we took some first and ten's and could not get a third down conversion.

But frankly we did not get it done today.
