It amazes me how poorly their fans are taking things right now, considering nothing has even happened yet. I think it just magnifies how well we as a collective approached the 2010 fiasco.

Well done AU board, well done.

To be fair, ours wasn't sparked by an admission of guilt

Also I wouldn't say all of us handled it well

I wish I could say I felt bad for the fans. But, after 2010, I hope every fricking team in the conference (except us) gets hammered.

Well also to be fair we had a frickin thread pinned for like a month titled "As the Plains Burns" that was over a thousand pages. Think we did fine

Also do you remember the HBO special on AU Football?

Our situation was much worse than Ole Miss' IMO. We were under a lot more scrutiny than they are. They probably have us to thank for that too as we killed everybody's will to care about cheating

We made it cool to cheat and win. Nobody will ever do it how we did.

Idk what OP is talking about though as our fan base had their pitchforks out and we're defensive as hell (rightfully so)

I still find it crazy that the admins of the SECRant really allowed a RUMOR thread, full of crazy lunatics, with gossip and unreal conspiracy theories about Auburn...and then STICKIED the son of a bitch. All while not allowing Auburn fans in the thread to disagree without handing down a swift ban to whoever opposed the "information" provided.

Blows my mind.

That caused the SECRant to be what it is today. The admins sold their souls to the Devil. They were so giddy at the numbers of hits the website received, they didn't care that it would potentially bring down the quality of the website.

That's what I mean. They are getting pretty bad already, and honestly nothing has even happened yet. By this point our University had killed a guy.

It's not the defensiveness, they are just breaking down. They just can't handle any of the threads anymore, and it's been a week.

The ATPB thread ruined the SECR. It also made team boards possible so there's two sides. It's the biggest reason why our board is exclusive to Auburn fans. It's our eternal middle finger for '10

I actually appreciate the ATPB thread as it's what brought me here from AE.

Exactly they are such fricking pussies. They were just as butthurt as anyone else during 2010. I'm sure some of the admins made threads about AU.


OT: I've been trying to find this gif for a while that was posted when the coaching changes board opened this past season and it got deleted.

Description: The guy is making lines of powder, takes out a bottle of whiskey and pours in a glass then takes out his cigars or cigarettes, puts all on table like he's about to throw down hard. Anyone know how to search or where to get it? don't judge it's for a funny group me post.

I lost a ton of respect for the Rant admins the day Auburn was cleared of wrongdoing by the NCAA.

They were deleting threads left and right by Auburn fans.

They could dish it out for months, but could not take it for a day.
