They also love their school...its not just football to them.

I do not comment much on what people post on the FB but I could not resist. I said that argument was trite, short-sighted and a coping mechanism by Auburn alum. That I loved my University just as much as anyone. The women's rowing team, adapted athletics, the campus and history, football, all of it. And that they (Auburn alum) compares themselves to Alabama fan. If I were to compare Alabama Alum to Auburn fan I can make the same dumb judgement.

Except against NMSU 7 days before, when the stands were empty.

Auburn is the master of taking credit for doing something literally every other college does and claim that it’s unique to them.

They’re also a godly program….except when they try to gin up rumors that a coach had an affair with a staffer because he didn’t win enough so they hire another coach who was fired for hiring escorts for himself and/or recruits.

In my experience most of the Auburn fans who pull the "unlike you stupid Gumps I love the school, not just the football team" after a loss never actually attended Auburn. It's one of my favorite quirks about their fanbase. They're like the one place where it's normal for sidewalk fans to look down on the sidewalk fans of other teams. Auburn is a haven for people who feel the need to be different in any way they can find. They are all T-Bob Hebert's Paris and art rant, but with just enough dignity not to say it out loud.
