I've read where Auburn is referenced as 'The Family'. But not real sure how they got that nickname.

It's pretty cool of them to embrace being one big happy family

Because they are all incestuous.

And nice Manson family pic there. I wonder who Auburn's version of Squeeky From is.

They are called the family because they didn't like being called The Cult?

It's a small conservative school with a predominant white Christian populous and fan base. It refers to the close connection Auburn fans are supposed to have for one another. It's essentially a different way of saying fanbase and beats saying "Auburn Nation" like Gator Nation.

I got to hand it to you. Even though you can't brag about your team or what they are going to do, you are trying as hard as you can to troll. You need better threads but at least you didn't crawl in a hole like Latarian and Dale on game week.

It's to reinforce their made up aura of being exclusive. Being "all in" is something they like to say while pretending every auburn fan went to school there. Which we know is not actually true, but if it makes them feel a smidge superior to Alabama fans, more power to them.

Because they are all related through inbreeding, I suppose.

ETA: 'All in' probably has to do with sister pulling a train...

The Auburn family reminds me of those Whites from WV.

The Family is like the Mafia.

Made men are "bagmen."

We do not leave any evidence and buy off NCAA with spice.
