re: I'm embarrassed to be an Auburn grad

Auburn hired him for the very same reason they hired Gus. He was able to beat Nick Saban via fluke miracles. Everything Auburn does revolves around UA.

I'm a fan of both teams unless they're playing. One parent Bama one parent AU and I spent most of my childhood outside of Alabama.

This isn't remotely true. Bama fans I know follow every little detail about Auburn and often tell me stuff I don't even know. Like how Auburn's third string running back's recruiting battle went down and shite. Auburn fans just care less about football than Bama fans from what I can tell.

In recent history, 2012-2022, Bama has been the measuring stick of the SEC west so everyone is chasing them. That wasn't the case in the early-mid 2000's when Tuberville was making Bama fans "fear the thumb". Bama was an afterthought at that point because beating them had nothing to do with winning the west or a national title.
