The UGA and Arkmart fans trying to claim RBU are cute. At least UGA had Hershel though. Arkmart...naw
And besides Shaun Alexander, don't even attempt Bama fans. You're making yourself look dumb.

No you didn't. You just proved my point. Besides Shaun Alexander, there has never been an Bama RB that scared me and I couldn't wait for them to graduate.

I just proved your point by naming several running backs that were held in high regard nationally?

Be that as it may, Bama has had plenty of running backs that have run over, around or through Auburn. The fact that you weren't scared of them doesn't really mean a lot.

The position Auburn is historically known for is cheating...often in very slimy ways.
Fact, whether you like it or not.
Trying to keep up with big brother makes you do really ugly things. We understand though.
Note...I'm no Bama fan at all. They suck. Auburn just swallows.
