Why is Auburn so obssessed with Georgia?

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?

This had to be the most predictable 1st response ever.

Well I guess that response is abotu what I expected, although I assumed you would be above that.
But to answer your question, I don't know where you get that. Look at all the outright troll threads between the schools, the overwhelming majority are from AU about UGA. Not the other way around.

Well, their board yesterday had 4 or 5 threads about Auburn on the first page, so its kind of an obvious counterpoint question wouldnt you say?

Umm, because of your board and post history of your fans on this forum. Maybe you are blinded by it, not sure

This board and the Poli board are the worst of TD.

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.

Why is that? Could it be because..I don't know...the amount of UGA bashing by your fans has stirred the masses? Do you see us posting a bunch of threads on our board about any of our other rivals? No.
Plus, team boards are a different animal. I don't care if every thread on the front page fo the AU board was about us..that's your board for your fans to say whatever the hell you want. This main board is what I'm specifically referring to.

If he wanted his own comeback he'd have wiped it off your moms face
Let me edit to say I never get to use that, so I gotta take the opportunity. No hard feelings

Can you elaborate on how we feel superior or holier than anyone? I'm assuming you have that mindset based on actual proof.

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.

could that be because many UGA fans are obsessed with Auburn?

yes, they are about the teams, not other teams. So it makes an even better example.

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.

Because we're the only school that is little brother to TWO schools. One that isn't even in the same state.

Here is a fine example of an Alabama fan obsessed with Auburn. Hows the ATPB treating you frisco?
