Auburn is one of the poorest universities in the conference, ranked below Alabama in most every measure, its AD runs a deficit and has to beg people to buy season tickets. They have to create the false image to make themselves feel better, and because Alabama overshadows them in everything they do. It's not a new thing either, that inferiority complex was established long ago when UA was set up as the flagship and AU was set up as a farm/tractor school.
