My assumption is that those Auburn fans who live out of state or did not grow up in the state of Alabama do not feel the intensity of the Auburn-Alabama rivalry as those that live in it 24/7/365
Auburn-Alabama comes up at work, at church, at poker night, at 4th of July bbqs, at random red lights.
5 days from now...no one will give two sheets about Minnesota, but at least I don’t have to hear some 18 year old dirt ball say “Nick Saban sure did whoop that a$$. Roll Tide” behind my back in the grocery store for the next year.

Alabama fans grumbled for a few days after the IB, but they’re feeling pretty chipper now that they think Tua is coming back.

But given the choice of:
1. Season we had beating Bama
2. 10-3 and losing to Bama
...I would take #1.
1) We go 2 out of 3 vs UF/LSU/UGa and head into the Iron Bowl 10-1 with a legit shot at a CFP bid, then end up in a NY6 bowl and lose to a better team than the Fightin' Flecks
2) We still beat one of UF/LSU/UGa, end up 9-3 and play Minny in the Outback bowl and beat them
Nope, can't see either of those scenarios being worse than where we are right now. Winning against any of those three teams when they were at full strength would have given us more of a psychological lift than beating Bama, even though it kept them out of the CFP.

in the end this was a successful season because we beat the goons from Tuscaloosa.

13-24
You know what those numbers represent?
Malzaln's record against top 20 opponents.
Not good.

I’m by no means defending Gus. He is very bad when playing away from JHS and would be coaching at Georgia State if not for Kevin Steele and Rodney Garner.
But as I said.....beating Bama is and will always be the number 1 way I measure a season. Obviously UGA, LSU and the bowl games matter but they are not nearly as important as the Iron Bowl.
There have been numerous case studies and analytical studies over the years stating that the lron Bowl is the greatest sports rivalry in the USA. There ain’t a 30 for 30 special on Auburn-Georgia or Auburn-LSU for a reason.
I’m frankly shocked that this is even debatable.
Beating Alabama is a very good thing.

I was born and raised in Alabama and I’m looking for more than IB victories.

This is the mentality of many Auburn fans. It is why we are where we are.
You have to be a troll.
