Auburn fans hate Mr. Bowden because he would not wallow in the muck of their nasty, cheating trough with them and spoke out about it, violating the Auburn Creed of keeping your mouth shut and going along.

Sugar won exactly one SEC championship, in 1957. They were on probation for cheating, didn’t play in a bowl game, and split the NC with tOSU who is widely recognized as the true NC that season.
Sugar is vastly overrated by Alabama Polytechnic Institute’s fans.
Eh, cut him some slack. He was going against Coach Bryant; that's definitely playing with a handicap.

The respect Shug got was deserved. But I have to go with Pat.
The average Auburn fan was neutered during the Barfield days. Dye came in and gave them hope. He transcended being just a football coach.
Getting Bama to come to Jordan-Hare was immense. That changed attitudes which permeated throughout the entire athletic department.
I have many friends that are Auburn fans and alums and they can't overstate what that meant.

Auburn undefeated in 1957
Defense only allowed 28 points (max in a single game was 7) for the entire season. Shutout opponents 6 out 10.

It’s just precious for a bammer fan to tell anyone how and why Auburn fans think about anything. And idolizing coaches that are drunks? Cmon man.
Who cares if Pat Dye was legitimately drank more hard liquor during his lifetime than any other man, on the face of the Earth, also alive during his lifetime.
He was a good coach. Turns out you don't have to be super smart or even lucid most of the time to be a college football coach. It doesn't take a genius.
Faingulus could drink a fifth of Beam, fart a couple of times, and start on the second fifth before nightfall in any given 24hr. period.
That motherfricker was a drunk, drunk. Bear Bryant drank like most men of his time after work, at clubs, in bars, at restaurants, golfing and at other appropriate areas and times to drink.
Pat Dye laughed at people like Bryant for being lightweights. Dye was the type that would strain some shoe polish through white bread if he couldn't get his shaking hands on some real stuff quick enough. His wife wouldn't even buy mouthwash.

quote:Weird, just looked up how many points were scored on BAMA in 1957;
When teams averaged 9 points a game
LSU: L, 0–28
Vanderbilt: T, 6–6
TCU: L, 0–28
Tennessee: L, 0–14
Mississippi State: W, 25–13
Georgia: L, 13–14
Tulane: L, 0–21
Georgia Tech: L, 7–10
Southern Miss: L, 2–29
Auburn: L, 0–40
Looks like BAMA got that arse completely handed to in 1957

Shug was a decorated veteran at D-Day and Iwo Jima (maybe Okinawa), but neither was an alcoholic adulterous pervert.

In wasn't until 1995 that Keith Dunnavant, in a book entitled Coach, would write of Bryant, "His tendency to drink to excess was well known among his friends and among the news media, yet no one ever reported a word about this. Although he never drank at work or let it affect his job, the coach often overindulged in social situations. Whether he was an alcoholic depends on one's definition. But he liked to drink to have a good time, and it was difficult for him to stop before he got sloppy drunk." Not long into our conversation, I realized that The Great Bear Bryant was drunk. Or to use Dunnavant's phrase, "sloppy drunk."

Also the only season that overrated Sugar Jerdin was able to win the SEC, with a team that was on probation for cheating.

Faingulus, otherwise known among all his friends and associates as Drunken Pat Dye, ran headfirst into a man in a car crash while blitzed out of his old, rotten head.
Then, him and his buddy kidnapped the man he hit and took him to his hunting property and likely tortured him.
Of course, his buddies in the Macon County police department said Faingulus was just drowsy, right after eating lunch? and that is why he almost killed the man in a head on collision, and was a superb human being and the man who was captured and possibly tortured was a huge loser.
