You've been living in this state for years - you are surrounded by Bammers and Aubs buddy and the Aubs don't have a whole lot to brag about in their Big 3 sports

No, not as much as Alabama.

Auburn fans hate Alabama and want Alabama to lose so much that it often consumes them. Put it this way, Auburn fans enjoy watching Alabama lose far more than Alabama fans enjoy watching Auburn lose.

However, when times are good for Auburn... and let's be honest, they've had their success at times... I don't sense the need from Auburn fans of making sure every fan of an opposing team heap praise on them. When Alabama is winning, the average bama fan is keeping a tally of who is heaping praise and who is not. They get ruffled pretty quick if anyone doesn't throw praise their way.

I notice it even more in basketball and baseball season. Maybe its because they get stroked enough in football season that you don't see it as often. But Bama fans have this strange obsession with wanting everyone to give their other sports far more credit than what those programs actually deserve.

As paranoid as Auburn fans often are, there just doesn't seem to be a need from them for me to throw praise their way. Not like the bama fans.
