Glad you know me so well. Whats really embarrassing is the people who think acting tough on a forum does anything for their manhood.

My experience as someone who has many close Auburn friends is the exact opposite. Auburn fans as a whole are infinitely better, cooler, and nicer than Alabama sidewalks fans. I wouldn't say Auburn alums are more laid back and necessarily more friendly than Alabama alums though and that's even more true when each alum base is dealing with the others. I have good Auburn friends that simply refuse to come hang out, tailgate, and/or attend any Iron Bowls in Tuscaloosa. This was even after attending a game there which they won and admitted to having a great time before. As much as I love them, they hate the institution so much and take the rivalry and themselves so seriously that they won't go. Auburn people are so incredibly neurotic about the big bad boogie man "sidewalk" Alabama fans that they won't even hang out with friends knowing they won't be near these type of people. I have Alabama alum friends who can't stand Auburn but aren't so uptight and self righteous as to refuse to go to an Iron Bowl at Jordan Hare where they will hang out with their Auburn friends. I was treated like s### by a few random Auburn fans on one visit but I didn't hold it against my Auburn friends by refusing to attend any more games at Auburn. From my experience, Auburn alums take themselves way more seriously than Alabama alums and have way thinner skin.

I sat in the middle of the Auburn season ticket holders when I went to the Iron Bowl in 2011. The guy next to me was pissed when he got there and realized that he had to watch the game next to an Alabama fan. I was then told "frick you" by an Auburn fan for replying to "it's great to be an Auburn Tiger" with "it's great to be a winner."

I got into it with every fan around me for simple cheering that shouldn't be criticized in any stadium. I won't be attending another Iron Bowl at Jordan Hare, but it doesn't mean my perception of the fans is different based off of that experience. Again, every base has bad ones.

So basically everyone except Bama fans think Auburn fans are better. Good topic.

I think many said they're about the same, but you can keep bitching about a topic on a message board if it makes you feel better.

I like the way you two process information. I think I'll try it myself.

So basically all of you agree that I have a schlong that makes white men proud...and any minute now I'll be getting a text from Jen Sterner asking for a photo of it.

Basically everyone on here lately is between 16-21 years old and hates everything Alabama . . . they would favor Hitler over Bama.

To say otherwise, on this site, would be a lie.

why does bama feel the need to compare itself to us. we dont want to be like you. we dont want your claimed championships. we dont get huge murals of our coaches and players. we dont implode when we lose a game because there is life beyond the game. we have a small fanbase which means the majority of our fans are alum. like a&m v UT, people say we have a lil bro complex but honestly we dont care. we come from the same field but we are of a different crop(farm joke)(embrace the barn). we dropped alabama from our name cause we dont want to associate with you. STOP CLAIMING US! YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE FAMILY!

ETA: WE DONT FOOL WIT YOU!!!!!!

Yes. Fans that have bought into deeply held stereotypes and preconceived notions about the fanbases based on extremely limited personal experience are holding fast to those stereotypes. Shocking.
