re: Auburn is just special….We wouldn’t understand

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

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.
