Why is The Auburn Family so uniquely toxic?

It’s a very ugly form of envy and desperation from sharing a state with the Tide.

ironically things seem to have gotten even more toxic since Lowder’s singular influence on the athletic department declined. You almost wonder if him keeping the rest of the good ol boys in check was for the best.

but man, they really seem to hate each other. interesting to see their fanbase immediately form entrenched factions over all this and start cussing each other.

Who knows that isn't actually a part of the round table?

For a long time the perception is how the board runs that program and the HC is mostly a pawn. Tubs definitely learned how to combat that a bit by winning the fans over so hard despite his own failures.

Go figure. Now he's a fkin politician. Slimey bastard.

Literally organizing a damn social media storm of shite on their new HC on the day their new president is officially approved while the BOT is in the house.

I'd always heard about the Auburn Puppet Master's, but they are alive an well and ballsy as hell to pull some shite like this.

Bobby Lowder did a lot of good for AU. Some people hated him but he kept things in tact much better than the men behind the scenes are doing now.

Finebaum is FOS and so are his guest. I am listening right now and they haven't gotten one thing right about Leach, Gus , Greene or Harsin. Schlabach is one fricked up journalist who hasn't gotten much right during his career. Why Finebaun keeps turning to him.

They have no choice but to run wild when shite like this happens IP. Until someone at Auburn stands up and gives a straight account of what's going on, this is what will make the news.

Because it lacks a true identity.

It's a wannabe Clemson knockoff located in a part of Alabama that might as well be West Georgia.

If it's a true family, why did so many players leave?

Just listened to Mark Schlaback on Finebaum. He got everything wrong about Auburn and the past and all Finebaum did was agree with him. They are both clowns and then Finebaum called Schlaback the best investigative journalist in the nation. Remember his reporting on Cam Newton ? He still has egg on his face over it and he resents it.

Hand on Bible, that was when I shut Finebaum off completely and I haven't tuned in since. I think I'm a better person for not subjecting myself to that clown.
