We've all heard countless times how special a place Auburn University is. How they as a school won't sell out their principles, their creed, to win football games

There are many outsiders who've always cried bullshite at these notions. I mean come on, this is a school that's fired it's last 3 coaches just a short time after they've produced an undefeated seaon onlly to prove themselves unable to maintain that level of play.

Winning obviously means something to the Tigers faithful and judging from their actions I'd say quite a bit.

The ultimate proof will come if they hire Bobby Petrino to replace the newly departed Gene Chizik. The hypocrisy involved in spouting that creed with one breath only to turn around and hire a snake like Petrino with the next would be of Biblical proportions.

At that point AU would have officially joined that group of teams their cultish followers seem to have the most disdain for, they will have pubically and formally joined the "win at all cost" teams.

I say publically and formally because they're actually one of it's founding members. Their fanbase have just deluded themselves into believing otherwise.

Congrats.

Hiring Petrino would DEFINITELY be the thing that makes this board view Auburn as a bunch of scumbags.

For sure. This board would definitely stop holding AU out as a beacon of light in the dark world.

What was it that Herbstreit said? "They're a once in fifty years type of program."

I think it's ironic that AU fans that are also Falcon brought into question Arkansas's morals when they hired him.

It's funny how you fans think you are that much better than us because your gay arse football team is doing good. The fact you made this statement against a school/fanbase shows your insecurity. Pathetic pussy arse bandwagon fanbase. I would be embarrassed.

No, but it is becoming clear we should.

Seems like it would really piss a lot of people off pretty badly.
