Anyone read the Will Collier article on Rivals? I think he went a bit too far

It is one thing when some of the more moronic members of our fanbase goes full rantard but for a guy writing for a major Auburn football news outlet, it was a little inappropriate to make those comments. It is childish at best

Yea, I like where he was going with it. I just don't like how he got there. Never go full tard.


He was too insulting. No need for that. I know we have heard it all coming at us for years but no need to stoop to that level

Made it about 1/4 of the way through. Sounded like a Rantard.

The state media -- regardless of the team -- is annoying in this state. Way too many homers/fans.

I don't have problem with most of it (though I think things like "Little Nicky" and "wee man" are just lame) but it was just a poorly written article.

The ideas he presented were solid, the method of presenting was a joke. I mean, he complains about Alabama being the stupidest fanbase in the country then proceeds to do exactly what they would in our situation.

Nick Saban is an amazing coach that is going to go down as one of the all time greats. You can't argue with his success and just because we are rivals doesn't mean you need to pull this shite about calling him derogatory names

Collier has been writing controversial crap all season long. I want to go back and link the crap he was writing at the beginning of the year.

Definitely too far on his part. Especially since a rematch isn't out of the question.

Sounds like a Bleacher Report article.

I'm guessing some Bama fans ran a train on his girlfriend.

There has to be an explanation for the vitriol.

If I were an Auburn writer, I don't think I would have been able to create a more professional article honestly. I've had so much pent up rage to disperse the past few years, that it would've shown in my writing as well.

You mean to say that you don't believe his word choice and snide remarks were not childish and becoming of an Auburn fan?

Really?

It was pretty childish with the nicknames and such. I won't mind it if Collier hadn't been highly critical of AU early in the year

At least its the epitomes of class, integrity, and propriety in this forum providing these critiques.

If it wasn't, I'd have to admit that this thread would be damned hilarious.

Wasn't he a poster/"insider" on the Bunker that was given this platform?
