re: Why is Auburn the only member of the "big 6" unable to sustain success?

Bama's a good school, one of the better universities in the SEC. I used to work with a couple Bama grads when I was living in Kentucky for a bit. I actually was part of the team that hired them and, believe me, they earned their jobs.

(Before y'all get upset, yes, Auburn's a good school too, and I mean that. I've just never worked with an Auburn grad, at least not that I know of.)
