No Auburn fan feels like little brother to Alabama. You try living with them in this state and you don't want to be like those rednecks. When Saban arrived, we were like only 7 games back from being tied in the series.

Have you seen how much they throw at coaches to go away. Auburn has very deep pockets.

Auburns deep pockets are very top heavy which gives a few too much of a say in what happens. There is a reason they don’t go and hire the absolute best AD. They need someone to basically do their bidding.

Auburn played very well against UGA, OK, Baylor, aTm, Mizzou, and Arkansas. They were overachieving which is all you can ask of your team.
Then one stinker of a game and they fire the HC.

Honestly, even if I had 2 billion dollars, I don't think I would be giving it to a bunch of 19 year old kid and a bunch of basket case admins in Auburn.
Being serious, I would not be investing anything in this NIL garbage. There's no return to make it worth it.

Yep, that's why we fired the coach who Saban struggled with more than any other coach.

This guy’s name has been mentioned A LOT around here lately. He is a B1G guy and knows a helluva lot less about CFB than he thinks he does.
Can we make mentioning his name around here a bannable offense?

Outside of YellaWood, who is giving big money to football?
That's true... And I bet even their poor fans prioritize giving to the Tide fund.
Edit: Not a knock on Bama. Just your fans are more dedicated than ours. Our poors don't donate.

The Alabama Crimson Tide fan base is the dumbest in the country and there isn't a close second.
Alabama's fan base stupidity is not a function of a small minority of bad apples ruining it for the rest of the fans, nope, it's the majority of the fan base that gives Alabama fans a bad name.
Let's be clear about this, Harvey Updyke was not an outlier.
When news broke that authorities had arrested a man for poisoning the trees at Auburn, millions of Alabama fans secretly thought to themselves, "God, I hope it's not Uncle Ray."
That's because Harvey Updyke could have easily been in many Bama families.
Easily.
Alabama fans are so dumb that every single other SEC fan base thinks, "Damn, you Bama fans are really stupid."
Kentucky fans are like, "These Bama fans need to get their lives in order."
The Alabama fan base is a fractious mix of two distinct groups who can't really stand each other.
At the top of the list is the 10-15% of the fan base that could actually be admitted to Alabama or attended the school.
This group hates most of the rest of the Alabama fan base with a passionate fury.
Right now they are reading this column and silently nodding.
The other 85% of Bama fans are incapable of coherent thought and have a deep-seated insecurity about all things in life. Alabama football comprises, and this is not an exaggeration, 99% of their self esteem.
This group of Alabama fans resents those who actually attended the school and calls them, "elitists." (To be an "elitist" in Alabama you have to graduate high school, avoid having kids until you're 22, and shop at Target instead of Wal-Mart. Seriously, that's an Alabama elitist.). Auburn fans, a distinct minority in the state, are really nothing like Alabama fans. That's because by and large Auburn fans are associated in some way with Auburn. 95% of the idiots in Alabama root for the Crimson Tide.
These fans are the ones who wear the, "Got (insert made up national title numbers here) t-shirts," and call into Paul Finebaum's radio show.
The irony of Nick Saban's Alabama success is that the University of Alabama can't even find enough smart kids to enroll at the school anymore. Over half of Bama's entering freshman class last year came from outside the state. The real reason that Nick Saban's so mad at the student section -- lots of them don't even care that much about Alabama football. Sure, it's fun, but they aren't likely to get a misspelled tattoo on their arm supporting the Crimson Tide like the majority of the fan base is.
That's because Alabama fans think differently than most of us. That is, they think backwards.
For instance, these idiot Bama fans would rather have a genius football coach who is arrogant as hell, but they insist on electing a President that they can have a beer with.
Obama's elitist, but Nick Saban? Hell, Nick Saban's a football coach, he's got more important things to do than worry about whether fans like him!
If Nick Saban was on Twitter -- God this would be amazing if he Tweeted what he really thought -- and he stepped in dog crap on Tuscaloosa's campus, he could take to Twitter and Tweet, "If a thousand Alabama fans don't show up and lick this dog shite off my shoe, I'm leaving town."
Ten thousand of more Bama fans would immediately show up to dutifully stand in line for hours to lick the dog shite off Nick Saban's shoe.
This is not hyperbole.
Even Nick Saban hates Alabama fans.
What's the dumbest stereotypical Bama fan like in his element?
He's a 38 year old grandfather and he owns fourteen shirts, thirteen of which have to do with Alabama football's mythical national titles.

They can throw out little brother, but history shows we don’t give a shite.
I can rattle off a long list of “University ofs” that can’t even come come close to the success that Auburn has had historically.
Ok, you say Auburn is bama’s little bro. Ok, who cares. Bama is arguably the most successful program ever. And we aren’t and never have been scared of them like most teams. That shows in us having more victories against Bryant and Saban than any other school.
We wouldn’t be little bro in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, and on and on and on and on.
If bama wants to crow, were used to it and ignore them. The rest of you can STFU! Hope you got your licks in because we’ll be back real soon. shite, we have had the worst coach ever this year and have been in every game. But close isn’t good enough and we want more.

Alabama has never beaten a top ten Auburn team. Ever.
This is a lie. Did you even check?
1960 - Alabama defeated #8 Auburn
1971 - Alabama defeated #5 Auburn
1974 - Alabama defeated #7 Auburn
1985 - Alabama defeated #7 Auburn
1994 - Alabama defeated #6 Auburn
When Auburn has been ranked in the top ten against Alabama, their record is 13-5
When Alabama has been ranked in the top ten against Auburn, their record is 32-10
So, we have a slightly better winning percentage when we are in the top ten, and we have been in the top ten over twice as often. Which means, Auburn has had a lot more chances at upsets and has come through several times.
