Dang, the media just won't leave Auburn alone
. But to me that article explains why the Barners have such a huge inferiority complex.

Well before then, Auburn’s educational focus was agricultural, and prospective white-collar professionals were drawn more to Alabama. “The Alabama fan was the doctor or lawyer,” Finebaum said. “The Auburn fan was the farmer and factory worker.

Why would a factory worker go to college?

The barn doesn't have an inferiority complex - they really are inferior.

Can't we all just get along? I think every state has this same similar story to some degree. Even cities do, Houston/Dallas and Los Angeles/San Francisco. Heck even in Nashville it's Nashville/East Nashville. Can't get away from the class divisions.

Because back then unions didn't pay $100 an hour to turn a bolt.

Houston/Dallas
The Houston hatred of Dallas and vice versa is really something to see. The cultures are so different.

As the years have progressed it is fair to note that Auburn has added Crooked Bankers and Redneck Casino Owners to their list of graduates. I would take farmers and factory workers of crooked businessmen any day of the week.

Scoop. Do you know how to shrink a picture for an avatar? If so, see help board.

the NYTimes have lost credibility - they asked that mouth breathing homer Finebaum, and even quoted him.

Notice the use of the word "was."
Things aren't really the same now.

Half of the Bammers on here are blue collar people so whats the problem? Not to mention the majority of them didn't even go to Bama. Can someone tell me whats wrong with being a hard working man? I come from a family of all doctors and engineers but this is still something I believe in.
