How do you deal with this kind of thing? One was bad enough but two is sickening.

What do you mean by two? Like two straight ACC losses to Clemson and UVA?

You guys haven’t won a title since 1980 so it’s hard to pick a new target

Just start talking about cheating and trailers. All the time. Nothing else

What’s really relevant is Auburn is averaging 5 losses a year.

Yes but we are averaging > 0 titles per year in the last 38 years

True. However that’s a USCe fan. He appreciates the compliment.

Yea, really not sure how that miscommunication happened but whatever. I guess his coping strategy is illiteracy which might work tbh

Let me spell this out. Auburn fans cope with bamas success by picking on UGA who continually fails. USCe can’t join the 1980 conversations though which is unfortunate because the UGA crowd is so sensitive

So what you’re saying is we should pick on Missouri? Sounds good.

I don’t know how I’m going to sleep at night knowing Nick just got his arse beat in the NCG.

I like to remember how Auburn hasn't lost to South Carolina in football since 1933

You must not be around the states Alabama and Georgia. When you see them in person, for instance at the grocery store, they're decked out in houndstooth and an old national championship team-shirt. You just feel sorry for them, as that's all they have in life.

Two = the only bowl victories Auburn has had under Malzahn. They are as follows:

1. The Birmingham Bowl
2. The Music City Bowl

That's it. For this they gave Malzahn a multi million dollar raise and multi-year extension.

Their strategy is simple - swallow whatever pride they have ever pretended to have and root for Alabama when it serves them and then come out bravely and snipe at them like minor imps when Alabama has a bad day. They are the most cowardly of football fans on the planet.

South Carolina can, has, and will deal with Clemson's success better than Auburn fans have ever done with Alabama's.

That’s a lot of words to say “I’m upset because I haven’t seen a championship in my lifetime”

And that's a lot of willing ignorance to say "I'm deflecting because Georgia kicked Auburn's @ss for the SEC Championship last year, did it again this year and will for the foreseeable future."

Even Mark Richt has more SEC Championship rings than Malzahn and the same number of National Championships. He also has a better won loss record, better bowl record and we still let him go.

Yet there Malzahn sits. Ringless and a multi-millionaire per Auburn.

You’re bragging because you traded Mark Richt for Mark Richt Jr?
