Auburn's official account has responded to the invitation
Well done. I’m glad at least one team understands that the rivalries naturally limit the support that one can be freely given to the other rivals.

UGA, a school most of them tried to get into, and couldn’t
This is my favorite line from UGA fans. As if the majority of Auburn fans dreamed of getting into UGA

I was incredibly surprised by this
Not surprising at all, and it's real simple. 1980 is *literally* the last thing AU fans have to hang onto to trump any kind of superiority over UGA on the football field. Once that disappears, they will have nothing. They will question their entire existence. Likewise, bama wins a title damn near every year so them winning another one is old hat at this point and not really any kind of surprise.
I bet you in 07/08 regular seasons when uga and bama played 90% of auburn fans were pulling for UGA.

We're primarily rooting for Bama because we're numb to it
Honestly who gives a shite if they stack another trophy over there

Last year during the championship my auburn friends got together with a bunch of non Bama/UGA fans to watch at one of their houses. One of my friends in attendance who is an App St fan sent us a snap of the Auburn crew celebrating the 2nd and 26 like they had just won the championship themselves
I was incredibly surprised by this
It really isn’t surprising
Auburn has 2 rivals. Alabama and Georgia, while they may hate Alabama more they consider Georgia as their main rival and certainly their fun rivalry
At this point they have a talking point against Georgia, mainly 1980. Alabama winning another championship doesn’t mean much but Georgia winning one would hurt more

Imagine pulling for your long-time bitterly hated in state rival every year. I can't.

Disagree with this
Alabama is definitely our main rival, by far
There are a ton of us from Georgia who live in Georgia so UGA has always had a more "felt" impact than Alabama for like 25% of the Auburn fanbase, so for us it sometimes feels more important. But even being one of those people, my position was always that Alabama is more important to the program overall and to most Auburn people, so it was the most important to me too.
If this were only Alabama's first or second title run in the last few years you would not see Auburn people so blase about Bama

Understandable because those college admission rejection letters sting forever.
