If I was an Auburn Fan

Auburn is pretty much an after thought in this state. I'm not saying that being rude, it is just the truth. You have Alabama with the tradition the we have, the championships, coach Bryant and the national prominence and then you have Auburn.

It takes more than a 6 year winning streak over your rival to be what Alabama is as a program.

Very few places have ever or will ever do what has happened at Alabama and Alabama will do it again it is just a matter of when.

Auburn has a great program but what have they accomplished really? They did get screwed in 04' and that was bullshite but other than that and having a streak against BAMA what have they done?

There is no comparison between Alabama and Auburn and that's not ragging it's the truth.

i will agree that bama does get a little more attention than auburn in this state. it would definitely be the other way around in my opinion had it been auburn that had those runs back in the day. but, i do feel as though auburns presence is felt through the state more than it used to be. i see a lot of auburn tags and stickers on cars here in tuscaloosa so auburn is well represented. i had a friend from high school that attended auburn for his major and had many many opportunities to visit auburn on weekends and spend time around the campus. it truly is beautiful campus and a very nice town. i know they get a bad rap for having a very high number of trailers and trailer parks, but other than that, we would attend some frat parties and go out in town wearing bama hats and really never had to deal with a lot of crap. now on gameday weekends that was a different story, but still not too unbearable. anyways, my heart will always be in tuscaloosa and i will always be a bama fan, but i don't have too much bad to say about my experiences down at the barn.

Most of the people that I've met in this town are AU fans and they really like LSU.

My second favorite SEC team is AU. BTW

First off, you both FAIL as fans of either team. Why don't y'all start cheering for Southern Cal as well. No real Auburn fans "like" LSU trust me.

I asked them what they thought we had and they responded that we probably had a dog named tiger like Tennessee has a dog named Smokey. I laughed and told them either they don't get out much or watch LSU on TV.

Second, the people you are referring to are not really AU fans. Perhaps this is why they like LSU. I'm sure the real ones know we don't have a fricking dog named Mike, and they probably don't "like" us either.

well why aren't you? You live in AL, and they are your second favorite team... so whats the problem? Why don't you don their gear when they aren't playing us.

ETA: Sorry for the harsh words I didn't see this...

I associate with the people my age (57) who graduated from AU and they said that during their time at AU they were called the Plainsmen

I didn't realize some of you fought side by side in the civil war. Sorry for ripping you.
