Question for the Auburn fans.

This would be so much more entertaining if you could ask it to over 60 year old only Aubbies that lived through both the Bryant and Saban eras

Bama hasn’t always been this good. Presently, Alabama leads head to head 47-37-1. This isn’t terrible if you think about how many good teams Alabama has had over the years, so yes there is presently a pretty big gap, the gap might shrink a bit when Saban retires - but even in such a time as Alabama’s dominance , we have beaten Bama more than any other team has.

I guess while we wait for Saban to retire, we will have to keep beating those lowly Mississippi schools to keep us from being at the bottom of the barrel.

What’s it like not winning anything ever?

This was my worry when I started this thread, that no Auburn fans would truly answer my questions. It has got to be weighing on you guys, come on, consider this a free therapy session.

Auburn certainly has a respectable showing in the series, but I think the OP's question has more to do with the trophy case than the series record.

I think most Auburn fans can take a bit of hope Year after year though of knowing that in those seasons where we are able to field a half way decent team, that we always will have some kind of chance to win the game - that is why so many Auburn fans love Kick Six - because we can’t compare our trophy cases, but we can look at those great past performances where we were able to win

Finally a solid, solid response. Thank you for your participation.

- how soon they forget

It's been alternating wins the last five years,

... an even 10/10 split for the last twenty,

... and Twenty/Twenty over the last 40 years.

btw:

How come you guys are not doing your part?

I cannot fathom sitting any of my children on my lap and explaining to them that the biggest tradition of our supremely mediocre program is ringing cowbells.
