I couldn't agree more, aubby brings nothing to the table for us except Gus, nothing like LSU, Bama or A&M. Your just kind of that other alabama team, I'm all for the move


I agree completely. The game against Ark is an afterthought with most AU fans. It was fun when Petrino was there, but other than that it is just a game you look forward to get out of the way. Same with Ole Miss. MSU is a longtime opponent, but there is no rivalry or hate between the fanbases (minus Cam issues). LSU is a fun rivalry but not deep seated in history, the SEC screwed up by not forcing teams to play each other prior to 92. AU fans loved the games with TN and UF every year and would travel well to those games.

Right, but it has recent history.

Just because we didn't play a lot in the 50's doesn't mean it's not relevant.

We play a lot now.
