It's crazy how all these long drawn-out bullet point style posts by aggy, (ie constant need for attention, validation, chest thumping, etc), perfectly exemplify the syndrome described by the op.
It's crazy how no one can refute those drawn-out posts.

OP-the winner is Clemson, USCe's little brother.
BTW your SEC envy is showing.

Don't mind that individual. His sole purpose is to troll. Over and over and over and over and over. You will eventually get tired of his shite and his other Arkansas troll boyfriends.

A&M - for this reason:
Their LBS is not limited to the Horns and football. If anyone has served in the military as an officer with A&Mers, their LBS concerning Academy grads was comedic. The Aggie Marine officers I knew were the biggest over compensators around Naval Academy guys just dying to prove they were more "military" than the ring knockers. Combine Texan arrogance with an inferiority complex and you get your basic Aggie military officer.

I don't know the rivalry that much, but I'd say A&M. Auburn's been humbled some the past few years and are. It as annoying.
But then again, I was at a party the other night and a Updyke-type Auburn guy (they are on every team) would not shut up about how AU is (against all logic) better than Bama in every way. He cared about no other game than Alabama. He was annoyingly ignorant and bothering every guest there with football when we there to have a good time. I calmly walked away from him.
Out hosts finally had to tell him to shut up or leave.

This sounds familiar...like no story I've ever heard in 14 years of service...at least not from anyone other than a substandard academy graduate.

I've never really noticed Auburn having little brother syndrome. However, A&M has it to the degree that rivals ULL and ASU

The Problem with Some "Little Brothers"
The problem with some "little brothers" is that they refuse to accept it, and they eventually out-grow "big brother" and kick his fricking arse.
Looking at the history of the A&M-fricking longhorn relationship, it's easy to see and I freely admit that one had all the resources, influence, money, and control from the beginning. The other had to fight like a junkyard dog for for scraps, was limited in scope and student body, was much smaller, commanded much less respect, and also had competition from highly-respected private schools in the state.
Then the changes started coming. A&M became a university and started to grow, getting better in academics and athletics. This went on for 40+ years and big brother started to feel the pressure.
Recently, the following occurred:
1. big brother still thinks he's bigger
2. starts acting like an a-hole
3. started negotiating with the Pac-10 on little brother's behalf, without consent
4. little brother tells big brother to frick off
5. Big brother starts normal ridicule tactic, fails
6. Big brother put little brother "on the clock" to obey
7. Little brother said take your clock and shove it up your gaping, semen-crusted arse
8. Little brother negotiates with SEC
9. Big brother panics. Stops Pac-10 deal to keep little brother under thumb
10. little brother gets a fat paycheck to stay in the Big Twatever
11. Big brother, thinks he secured little brother,
12. lies to little brother about the longhorn network
13. enters a written agreement with ESPN agreeing to get high school games on LHN, to never participate in a conference network, and to get as many football games as possible, including conference games, which would take money out of the conference and in to big brother's pockets.
14. little brother finds out, kicks big brother's teeth out, leaves
This is a textbook example of brother acting like he is still big brother, but finding out really quickly that he is not when little brother BEATS THE frick OUT OF HIM and walks away from his unconscious carcass and into the SEC while the younger siblings graciously tend to big brother and cry at his feet.
When big brother wakes up, he realizes that he is not big brother anymore and has ZERO influence over little brother, but little brother is marginalizing the frick out of big brother, which pretty much makes little brother into big brother, and big brother's humbled arse knows it. Former big brother has been weeping and gnashing since we left. A&M refused to accept "little brother" status for decades and it paid off.
It's glorious to watch.
So, I guess technically Auburn is probably a little brother to Alabama, but it's not huge. So, I would say that Auburn probably doesn't have "little brother syndrome" at all, or has it less than any other "little brother" in the country.
But, A&M can't have LBS, because now A&M is the big brother. The frickING LONGHORNS HAVE IT!!!

Texas did roll it up post WWII when A&M was all male, all military
I'm so sick of hearing this myth thrown around by Aggy as an excuse for being terrible for so many years. You wanna know what Army's record was in football over the 5 years following WW2? 39-3-4 including a National Championship.
Posted on 10/30/13 at 12:14 pm to Haughton99
Well, that's an arbitrary time period. Army averaged around five wins a year from 1950 to the introduction of scholarship limits in 1973. I also don't think Navy was recruiting whole two-deeps each year to keep any of those recruits from going to Army.
A&M historically did well in hard times, when the security of a technical education and military career was valued more than in times of plenty. That was the case until the school had more to offer, namely non-compulsory participation in the Corps of cadets, admission of women and improved research and academic profile.

Well, what would your explanation be? There must be some reason, right? What do you think caused A&M to be terrible for so many years?

Who the hell knows? Bad coaching? Bad facilities? It wasn't freaking World War II
Posted on 10/30/13 at 1:54 pm to Haughton99
Well, from 1940 to 1974 A&M beat Texas all of 3 times. That's why there is such a huge discrepancy in the series.

That's true but my point was that several times in this thread and many times in the past I've seen Aggies use WWII as an excuse for mediocrity and it just crazy.

It wasn't WWII, it was a combination of several things including WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the fricking longhorns buying up all the talent and back-dooring them because no scholarship limits (I know specific people who were victims of this), all-male compulsory military lifestyle, small student body, lack of funds, etc.
WWII (or any other war) for A&M is different than WWII for service academies. You don't go off to war while you are in the academies. You stay and graduate, and continue to play football, and avoid the draft, etc. A&M students (including the entire fricking football team) would leave school without graduating and go to war.
But, whatever. It's still excuses to everybody else. We sucked. That's it. So, who gives a frick why we sucked 50+ years ago.
Now, we're big brother and I don't see that changing for a while.

I think the greater point is not whether or not A&M sucking for that lengthy period was justified, the point is that that period is the reason for why people have the perception that Texas is "Big Brother" even though most of the people on this board weren't even alive when Texas dominated A&M that way. The 00's were a perfect storm of Texas back at their peak while A&M struggled and reinforced that perception.

i'm not denying that there may be auburn fans with "little brother" syndrome, but i sure don't know any of them. bama leads the series 42-34-1, but considering 47 of those games were at legion field (bama's home away from home), i'd say it's an impressive mark & hardly one-sided enough for any auburn fan to feel like a "little brother"...but again, i won't say they're not out there, but i just haven't met 'em. auburn is 7-4 at JHS, and 7-2 at BDS. again, no little brother syndrome here. since i've followed auburn ('86 season), auburn has a 15-12 mark....again, no little brother syndrome here.
i guess it depends when you started following the program....but from where i'm sitting, all i can say is "nice try" to the OP....
Is it just me or did you actually use four separate qualifications (Legion Field, the record in JHS, the record and in BDS and the record since 1986) in order to justify your opinion of not being little bro?
At least you attempted to mask it by conceding the overall record.
