DEVELOPING: Lowder Withdraws From Auburn Consideration

And, as TBH so eloquently put it...

"And the Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day..."

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley's office is confirming that Bobby Lowder has withdrawn his name from consideration for reappointment.

Governor Bentley's office announced a scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustee Selection Committee for next week...

Lowder, who was appointed to the Board in 1983 by Governor Wallace, was among those whom Governor Bentley reappointed a month ago. The decision to reappoint Lowder- as well as the process itself- drew criticism from the Auburn community... pretty much everyone in the Auburn community...

Lowder, you'll recall, was at the heart of the almost-hiring of then Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino- among other shady shenanigans during his tenure. And he has yet to comment publicly on this latest bout of common sense in both Montgomery and the Loveliest Village...

More when we know more...
