If the Bama administration hadnt become so weak in the 80's we still wouldnt be playing there. Thats why if Auburn moves to the east and we stop the game, which we will, that will be the comeuppance we've been waiting for since the state MADE us play. Auburn was UAB or Troy with a better campus. Florida played there but Florida was worse than Auburn. florida just wanted to be recognized in some form. Tennessee didnt need them either. UT first went there in 78, and had a 42-0 lead at halftime

If AU was Troy with a nicer campus why did Bama have a losing record against them before the divide?

Auburn was the largest school in the state until recently. There was nothing the inbred Bammers or politicians could have done to prevent the move. Arrington and Donald Watkins and the Bammers went after Dye because of the move, but that didn't slow it down.
