Mostly because Bamas fanbase and university as a whole is inferior.

Just the way it is.


I understand that the family leads to you guys feeling superior, but can you acknowledge that there is little difference between the fans of both programs?

As far as the university, I've seen many rankings that have Alabama ahead of Auburn. I've seen many other rankings that say Alabama's campus looks better than Auburn's. Where does this feeling of superiority come from?

You had someone fricking KILL someone else because they weren't upset enough over a loss in a game they had zero control in.

Let us know what other fanbase has done the same.

When we own them in everything as bad as we have for the entire history of the Universities, they need to manufacture some feeling of having worth.

Textbook lil brother stuff. Auburn and Michigan State could get together and have a symposium on the subject.

So you allow the actions of one represent the entire fan base? So because a few Auburn frat boys dressed in black face, it means Auburn University is racist. Fair?

Oh, no doubt.

You had a guy poison some trees because he heard that Auburn rolled them with toilet paper when Bear Bryant died.

LOL at bama fans thinking they are the same as Auburn fans. Youre not. Never have been never will be.

Auburn fans, for the most part, are well educated and successful.

Bama fans, for the most part, are uneducated and poor.

Not really.

Barners, outside of their town at least, always have to deal with sidewalk Bama fans that run the state. This makes them a tougher group, less prone to melting and more prideful of what they do have. They are not riding of the success of Auburn. Auburn is something they take heat for, and they don't mind because of pride.

Meanwhile many Gumps are only fans of the team because the success of Bama allows them to feel better about their own crappy life. They ride the biggest bandwagon in the South, so they have INCREDIBLY thin skins and melt all over the place for reasons that make them seem like ingrates to the college football world, like crying because they ONLY won three out of five titles.

There are many sidewalk fanbases like the Gumps in America (Michigan, USC, Texas, etc.), but Bama for some reason attracts the most useless, embarrassing, and stupid people from this sidewalk category.

What is sad is that there are some really good Bama fans. Classy folks that attended the school, go to every game, and appreciate the little things (aka not every year is national title or a complete waste of time). But these classy folks are overpowered by the Wal-Mart legions Bama's success has provided.
