re: Why do Auburn fans constantly need acceptance?

And then there are LSU fans who have only child syndrome and can't understand why they can't always get what they want and whine and cry about it incessantly.

And then there's Alabama fans who think it's their job to frick their mother because daddy STILL hasn't come home from the store...


...and it's been ten years.

Obviously the simple turn around here is, I've never seen a fanbase so consumed with another team's coach. auburn and lsu fans are close with saban, but you guys take the cake.

I must have missed all the threads asking other fan bases why you no likely our coach?

Comes off as that annoying kid pulling a grown ups pant leg asking, why?

Which is astounding considering their relative unimportance.

Just trying to figure out what we are missing. You can't help a brother out and explain? Maybe we will hate him too.

So you admit to wanting everyone's approval on your current coach to make you feel better?

quote:

What does this have to do with you guys being consumed with gus?

---

Really? We aren't seeking approval from Auburn for Gus....you're seeking our approval....

What's with all the family metephors?

Easily interpreted by Auburn, since you're family, and "all in"

No. I admit to being curious as to why people hate our current coach and what he did to generate that vitriol.

Whether or not you or anyone else approves of Gus it will not make me feel better or worse.

I understand that moving the goal post is a common theme around here, but lets put in a little effort and follow along.

Turning around your question i'm asking, why are arky fans so consumed with gus? Seems simple enough.

We know you don't approve of gus, I'm just interested as to why a coach that coaches at another school is such a focal point for you?

"all in"

We dropped that one with our 3 win coach. It's a new day.

Can you lead me to recent threads regarding Arkansas and Gus?

I can certainly lead you to Auburn threads wanting Arkansas approval

Start here and just ask if you want more.

I'm assuming you consider this normal behavior for the anger to hold onto for another team's coach?

quote:

It seriously all started with him taking the Shiloh job and this rise to power out of Springdale First Baptist into some behemoth mega church Armani Ronnie Joel Osteen wannabe.

It mixes a lot of deep seated factors and clashing GOBN with the new economy, new media,and the outside influences of the Ivy League MBA's and their East Coast/West Coast ideas in changing NWA.

Alot of it is pure jealousy and the shitty way Gus and Shiloh conducted themselves in all walks of life. You want to do more business, join First Baptist and get your kid into Shiloh. You have a promising athlete in Jr. High, well here's a partial tuition waiver to Shiloh, oh and it wouldn't be a good idea to start a drywall business? Brother Joe BOb is building 60 new duplexes and needs a sub.

So add in all of this change is what has been traditionally a disenfranchised part of the country and the preacher is wearing $2000 suits on TV and all of this money rolling in is being used to syphon kids and families out of the small towns they grew up in, the division between the "ins and outs" in Arkansas got further apart and some of it deservedly so because Gus is a slimeball POS, but some also no deservedly he became a scapegoat of sorts.

Now people didn't like his smarmy arse at Shiloh, when he moved on to Springdale at pushed the talent to the public school it wasn't such a big deal because they were Springdale kids to begin with, but when you involve our beloved Razorbacks and involve the entire damn state with your High School drama queen horseshite, it becomes something of a monster that can never be reigned in.

It would be equally awesome to have Gus at Arkansas and equally destructive. Gus is now a turncoat and a blasphemer for using the Bible to shield his antics. I'm atheist so I don't give a shite, but I do feel that people that use religion as either a crutch or a diversion are the worst kind of people on the planet.

The fracture is so deep over Gus in Arkansas he couldn't have been chosen. Auburn was obviously the right choice for him given their penchant for working outside of the rules system and willingness to grasp any advantage possible. The guy's a maniac, Arkansas just isn't in the cards for him and it's a shame considering how many great football coaches come from here but we seem to never be able to capitalize on their talents.
