re: Is it fair for Auburn fans to view themselves as the opposite of "gumps"?

"The same way Auburn people are acting in this very thread while referring to Auburn?"

Exactly. I'm not sure there is another school's fanbase or alumni that believes in the romantic myth of themselves as much as Auburn people do. They then have the nerve to project their holier than thou arrogance onto Alabama alums as if WE alone are the truly arrogant ones about our school. You have post after post and countless other examples of Auburn people referring to Alabama people as "subhuman trash" and making no distinction between alums and non alums. Yet WE are the arrogant elitist ones.
:lol

Auburn is an above average school that has pockets of excellence throughout the school. If Auburn fans left it at that and didn't act as if setting foot on Auburn's campus was some mystical, religious, or holy experience, people would take you guys more seriously.
