The very definition of irony? Putting the moniker of your rival's opponent every week, praying for them to lose, and then talking about that team's fans being pissed.

Because Auburn is valued higher? Or would you still call bull shite if Alabama was on top?

You can be worth more than our football program all day long. That still doesn't change the fact that nobody does less with more money than Auburn University Athletics.

Congrats, you have surpassed University of Texas football in the category of futility!

Well obviously. Alabama is more successful, makes more money, has more fans, bigger stadium, and sells more merchandise than the cow college.

No way the barn should be hypothetically valued higher. I would value the barn somewhere around MSU.

Forbes also called you guys the 10th least cost-effective program in I-A. You're the only one from the SEC. Thanks, assholes.

Since the Panthers paid Cam's buyout they have a lot of room under the cap.

I can't believe this stuff gets folks from both sides of the AU/UA rivalry worked up.

This is a complete hypothetical. Forbes actually values Alabama much higher. Alabama's revenue is superior to Auburn. Regardless, I'm not sure how they came up with this. A pro franchise would be valued on its facilities, revenue ability, and fanbase (i.e. television market). Alabama is clearly superior in those areas. I mean, Auburn fans can't say we have all these fans, and then try to argue the point of this thread.

The only revenue numbers I need to see are the following :

Alabama bowl revenue for 2012 = $15 million

Auburn bowl revenue for 2012 = 0.
