This is a legitimately serious question, although I'm sure most of the responses will be flames.


But seriously...why is it that their fanbase (on here at least) seems so enamored with us? I mean let's look at the recent history. We won 4 in a row and they weren't saying much at all. Then in 2010 they won it all, but even then there wasn't much directed specifically at us. Obviously the game was heated and that caused some squabbles, but ultimately that offseason AU had more of a general "we just won the natty so frick everyone" kind of attitude, their trash talk was evenly distributed, IMO. Then we dominated the next 2 years and again they go quiet. Which brings up last year. Very close game (that they won, beating a team that lost 5 games mind you), and after that it's like we are all they can think about. I don't even see them talking crap to bammers as much as they do us. Why is that auburn fans?

And before you say "well we finally won again so it's only natural", I disagree. We lost to UT for a decade before turning things around, and we don't really poke at them. Same for UF, we've won 3 in a row and there is a shockingly low amount of UGA on UF smack talk. We got annhialiated by LSU in 11 and won last year...nothing. Lost 3 in a row to SC then won last year...nothing. So what is the deeply rooted issue here? Again, I'm asking honestly...what is it that makes the AU fans on here seem to focused on talking crap about UGA as opposed to other fanbases?

All good fun to me...

Georgia fans just kill me with their baseless superiority and holier than thou attitude.

To be real, you've only shown a penchant for underachieving.

Alabama has a trash bandwagon fanbase so its like talking to a one of their fans is like talking to parrot.

But no one is focused on Georgia, you bring it on yourselves with the bitching and underachieving. Thats an honest take.

Personally, I don't GAS about UGA.... but I've never lived in Georgia.... and the few fans I know aren't obnoxious or anything. Also being in opposite divisions takes away from the meaningfulness of the game.

Eta: there's definitely a smugness to the UGA posters on this site; especially when discussing auburn, but it doesn't bother me.

I think of the Auburn obsession with Georgia as a positive trait of their fanbase. There's hope for them. Sooner or later, that hate will turn into love.

They fear and are jelly of your team and I coach . Boogs know they are inferior to UGA .
They are the same way about Bama.
Best to just feel sorry for them . They are to be shown pity.

Look you'll rally the typical auburn-centric bama fans to your side on this one but I really hope you don't think that validates your point. You're turning a blind eye if you think this street only runs one way.


By page three you'll likely just say "oh I was fishing" so can we get that out of the way now?

When I read the subject of this post, I knew NYCAuburn would be the first to respond.

Hell hath no fury like a Barner scorned. Seriously, this has been covered mulitple times. Aubies that got rejected by UGA harbor a lot of resentment. I have known a lot of those type Aubie fans. Typically, the Auburn fans from Alabama don't carry that same "Fatal Attraction" quality than those that were spurned by UGA. To them, success on the field (no matter what it takes) validates those fans (can't seem to separate real life from a game). When you can't get validation from one place, you seek it elsewhere.

All I see from AU folks are responses to the whining that UGA fans have in the last few years become so great at.

NCAA finds no wrongdoing about Cam, and we beat you. Run to the SEC with cries of dirty play from Fairley (even though you had an orchestrated play against Fairley and your coach encouraged thugism.)

NCAA clears AU from any wrongdoing - go on for years anyway about how AU cheats. Too bad. I know you had high hopes about that.

2013 miracle win. Although certainly not the fault of fans or the school - the hatred is renewed with digging up and constantly mentioning that AU bought Cam.

2013 SEC championship with one of your former players - AU shouldn't be there because they're cheaters (I guess bammer should have been even though they just got off of years of probation and AU has not been on probation in 15 years.)

Jealousy because of your own failure to win any sort of championship.

AU giving your dismissed players a second chance. The horror. It would have been okay if someone that doesn't have to play you yearly had given them a second chance but no, more whining and on and on and on.

So much whining and finger-pointing.

Learn to take it like you dish it out.

Make no mistake about it. AU is NOT jealous of anything about your program or your coach. We love our program and our coach, so live under that delusion if you want to.

You've dealt with their obsession for one offseason. Imagine dealing with it day in day out your entire life like Alabama fans do. The REC did this, the REC did that. The REC is secretly using politicians to destroy Auburn. The REC paid off the NCAA. The Bammers are awful people who kick puppies and push over old ladies. Why do the evil Bammers get away with everything while humble, chaste, salt of the earth Auburn folks suffer for always standing up for truth and justice. This is the daily chatter from the obsessed in this state and it has been going on for years. Be glad you only get it in small bits and pieces.
