You're still doing it aren't you. No one is claiming Auburn has the national brand of Alabama, that is just silly, but Auburn is known nationally so please try to at least be somewhat intelligent sir.

This isn't what Charles is talking about. He's talking about being a national brand. Even on here, most folks are indifferent to Auburn. Hardly anybody talks any shite about them. Folks around the world hate Bama. Even UGA fans have grown to hate Bama more than they do Auburn. There's a reason for that.

Auburn is often the 4th best football team in Alabama. They sit right behind UWF at Mobile.

Probably the one posting vague earnings stats on a sports board to cope.

An interesting article from The Economist magazine about Auburn alum, Tim Cook:

Tim Cook is the chief executive of Apple, the world's most valuable firm with a market value of over $2.5Trillion. Over 80% of that has been amassed during the tenure of Tim Cook. No other chief executive has created more absolute value for shareholders. He took Steve Job's creation and made it better and bigger.

As Tim Cook has staged what is arguably the greatest succession success in technology. When he took over from Jobs the company had a market value of $434 Billion. Annual sales surged from $108 Billion to over $274 Billion last year. Net profit more than doubled to $57 Billion turning Apple into the world's most profitable company. Less widely noticed, during his tenure the "Apple economy" - its own annual revenue plus everything other companies make on its platforms has grown sevenfold to more than $1 Trillion.

Auburn does not receive its due. Too often other schools talk about their football player who can run faster with a football than another team's football player. Big deal. Auburn alums feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, protect Americans and defend America, heal the sick and make money doing it. War Eagle!!!

No coping here and making way over the average for an Auburn big brother. Now get off my porch. I'm not paying for the pizza since you dropped it.

And here's the link pizza delivery boy.

That's right. uat is dead last.

Give UGA fans their credit. They still shite on the barn with regularity no matter how lopsided their rivalry gets.

I guess you are referring to the limited world of CFB because nobody cares about bama outside of SEC country…. most people around the world incl NYC, L.A., Chicago, Canada, London, Europe, Japan, etc have never heard of Nick Saban. However, many of these people have heard of Tim Cook and most casual sports fans are familiar with Charles Barkley and Bo Jackson… and while Bama can claim four Heisman trophy winners, Auburn can claim three Heisman trophy winners + John Heisman…

Gotta call Bravo Sierra on that. I've see Bama signs/flags in Pennsylvania, Maine, New York, Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. I've never saw a barn flag/sign in any of those places.

Yeah, you've definitely never lived anywhere but Alabama, much less any of these places, but I have. Not sure why it's so hard to believe that the most dominant program in CFB for the past decade plus is also the most recognizable.

Saban got a "Roll Tide" in the Ferrari factory in frickin' Northern Italy when he went to visit last year.

Because UAT has none, or are they simply not as successful?
