It's a fine line... I can see how if the situation was reversed, and it happened at Alabama, I would at least want Auburn fans to feel the same loss for something that was such an iconic symbol of good times. It represented what was good and fun about college football for you, and a man who didn't even go to college would have no respect for that.
At this point, I don't know what Alabama fans could do to try to make something right for the sake of the tradition between the two schools, but when people say all Auburn wants is revenge, it makes me ill. Everyone knows that if someone takes revenge, we are headed down a road of reciprocating vandalism, probably by people who never went to either school.

I am one that does not want revenge. I love our rivalry, but things are seriously getting out of hand. Pranks are great, destroying things is not. Let alone threatening people. The justice system will take care of it.
There is a fine line between being proud of a fierce rivalry and being ashamed at how idiotic the fan bases can be.
