The only rivalry between bluebloods in the SEC makes it automatically no. 1


Yes, I agree. Alabama vs Alabama in the annual A-Day Spring game is the only rivalry between legitimate bluebloods.

Red river too friendly. Not even top 50.
Hell, even Missouri v Kentucky has fists come out every year and players ejected.
Ask the Dallas PD how friendly it is. Granted the latest generation of students have become soft, but in past decades over 100 (sometimes many more) ending up in the city free hotel was usual.

Auburn fans in general don't hate UGA more.
It used to be an intense, but respected, rivalry. But, with Richt, Soulja Boy & new $ B2B natties, it’s gotten even nastier than IB.

I know a ton of Auburn grads. I've never heard a single one think UGA is hated more than Alabama.

Not seeing it.

It's okay though. We're the #2 rival of a lot of teams.

Auburn
Florida
South Carolina.

Heck even a few Clemson fans might still have us at #2.

Have to adjust this stat for time of day. 100 kids going to jail @ 11 AM = 150 for 2:30 slot and at least 300 for a 6:45 kick.

some people crack directly into the pan, civilized folks do it in a bowl first to inspect for shell fragments.

SC/Clemson isn't SEC, but when OP says that nothing compares to the egg bowl and its hate...I am going to disagree. We HATE clemson

Ours is the only rivalry born of political hate rather than sports. That's why the SC/sheep humping sister banging taterheads rivalry is so wicked and dangerous that it's almost been canceled four or five times.

I love the Egg Bowl. It is what makes college football great. The fact that it rarely has any impact on anything of importance YET is soooooo important to the fans of each team is what, to me, makes CFB special.

The Iron Bowl, The Red River Shootout, The WLOCP, The Game...one or all of these are usually directly related to someone winning a national championship....the Egg Bowl is a lot like Army/Navy to me....two teams playing because the game means something in the moment and a crowd of passionate fans who understand that. The others are important to casual observers of the game...they are an event....games like the Egg Bowl are what makes CFB special to true fans...line up, knock the shite out of one another, and 60K people convinced it is the only thing that matters in the moment....it don't get no better.

You got that right. But call us when one of your fans shoots another of your fans because they weren't upset enough about a loss.


I don't know that anything short of a shooting war means more to the people involved than the Iron Bowl does to Auburn and Alabama fans. From the outside looking in it is kind of demented....

Maybe it's just me, but I don't sense much hate among Texas and OU fans on this board.


I know several fans of both teams....none of them seem to hate the other like Auburn and Alabama. People from the area around Texas talk about hating everything about Texas (Oklahoma and New Mexico, not sure about Louisiana) but they aren't ate up with it. I have never been to a function of any sort with Sooner and Long Horn fans present outside the season when the game was much of a topic of conversation. That is 180 degrees from what I have experienced with Alabama and Auburn fans. If they get together the game is going to be part of the conversation. UGA and UF is more akin to OU/Ut than AU/UA....it is kind of good natured hate. The Iron Bowl is not....it borders on unhealthy in my opinion.

This is one that also borders on the intensity of AU/UA. It seems to be more on the side of the USC fans but to be honest I have intentionally avoided Clem's Son fans for the most part.

Texas hates A&M much worse. Just go to their website/fan forum. !0 aggie posts for every OU post


Yeah I don't know that I'd want to be in College Station this year when the game is renewed. I know fans of both schools and they are as bad about one another as AU/UA fans....add to the fact that they are mostly Texans, a notoriously thin skinned breed prone to violence at the slightest hint of disrespect (the defining characteristic of people with low self esteem) and their ain't no telling what sort of ill shite is liable to happen.

I credit the egg bowl for having a high level of hatred in it. But I've watched the game a lot less often than I've watched NFL games on thanksgiving. Certainly less often than I've watched the Iron Bowl or Red River Shootout.


Well you’ve missed some quality entertainment

Egg Bowl is the only other rivalry besides Iron Bowl where incredibly unlikely and hilarious shite happens
