Alabama vs LSU will remain the most impactful SEC game for many years to come. I will explain in a thread that I'll make later today.

Nah, who cares? I wouldn't even do this for Auburn. We don't have to advertise our dominance. I think you're gonna see the Bama-LSU primetime thingy go the way of the Florida -UT once a primetime thingy unless ESPN picks it up. CBS is gonna take loooong hard look at the Iron Bowl for its primetime gig.


CBS already has a Black Friday game, they are not going to get 3 SEC games in the same weekend.

Alabama shouldn't talk up win streaks because an Alabama win streak is the expected norm.

The bizarre/notable thing is when somebody has a win streak over us.

every college coach in the country should send Tuberville a hooker for Christmas and 10% of their salary. when 6 in a row made Bama's arse so raw they were willing to throw the bank at Saban coaching salaries nationwide doubled within 2 years.

dont be so sour about the fingers. sure it sucks but it wasnt as classless as calling your school cow college. he was celebrating & having fun with his fans. its within the spirit of the celebration rule

That was so unclassy. I remember thinking it was actually unlike Tuberville to do it. I vote no.

Now that Alabama is on the brink of 5 in a row starting next November against the LSU Tigers, is it time to print the shirts and start throwing fingers in their faces like little brother Auburn against us so many years ago?





Hell NAW!!! Too much respect for LSU and their program.... Tubs was a classless POS...

You can't figure out who the active football player is with a statue at Jordan Hare?

Tuberville was a redneck jackass. Coaching at Ole Miss intensified it.

He was rubbing Bama's nose in it. That's fine....whatever.

What was funny was watching him walk into Bryant Denny in '08 holding up seven fingers while knowing fully well he was about to get his stool pushed in.

No. Our goals are bigger than just beating LSU.

What finger gesture should we use to indicate how much of a prick you are?

Nah. Maybe something if we break the streak of 11 that we had over the Tigers from 1971-1981.




Or maybe we could if we break the streak of 5 straight from '03 to '07, or 7 of the first 8 and 9 of the first 12 this century...

Sorry that you think showing some class is funny. Typical of your fanbase.

Grown men worshipping at statues of dead football coaches: normal


Auburn has four or five football related statues. Every SEC school but Vanderbilt has sports related statues.

Wingnut waving his fingers around was classless and everyone knows it. It was very fulfilling when Bama spanked him and sent him to the unemployment line.

You said current, which most would imply to mean at Auburn.

Also, the point isn't about you having statues, it is about people doing stuff like this:
