You must be looking in a mirror.

Auburn has traditionally had some of the worst attendance figures in the conference for sports like baseball and basketball.

Thanks for proving my point Mr FOF.

You don't have a point. You have a myth you believe in because your football team sucks.

While true, Auburn has not had a larger city to pull from for Monday through Friday games. Those games are, historically, student attended. I find no shame in that.

When they hired Harsin.

Who could have predicted that when you build a college in a cow pasture?

His point was that you love Bama football and have no love of, or connection to the University. You know nothing about their student traditions, their best late night study coffee shops, the hell that can be drop&Add. You are only a fan of a good football team yet, somehow, think your a better man for it.

So if I paid money to go there or the barn, I'd be a better man. You people and loving universities are batshit crazy.

Education is not a requirement for having a good life but it really is a good thing. You should try it.

You people say it every time you go on a rant about football only fans or sidewalk alums. It's the entire argument. You're not fooling anyone.

Draw a 150 mile radius around Auburn and Tuscaloosa and tell us which town has the most population around them. Auburn is well situated for the future. Do you know what is the biggest High School in Alabama this year? Auburn is growing too fast and is considered one of the most desirable place to live in Alabama. Does Tuscaloosa still have a paper mill?

That sounds an awful lot like this:
quote:
I, like you, have read everything, I’ve heard everything, and I’ve seen everything. Now the time has come, the time has come to decide who we are, what we are, and what we’re going to do.
You Alabama fans listening in to see what we’re doing, what we’re saying, how we’re feeling, how we’re thinking – how about giving us a moment alone, just us Auburn people, so we can talk among ourselves. Would you do us that favor? We’d appreciate it. Take a break, go to the bathroom, get another beer, do whatever you want to do, I don’t care. Just give us Auburn people a moment alone.
Well, now that we’re alone what do you think? Ah, I know they’re still there, I know they’re still there listening in on what we’re saying, but so be it. I’m not scared of them and you’re not scared of them either, not since coach dye came, none of us have been scared of them anymore, none of us. If they weren’t scared of us, they wouldn’t still be listening in and thinking we didn’t know they were there.
Funny thing is they probably thought we were stupid enough to think they would leave when we asked them to leave. They’re the ones with the problem, not us. In fact I want them to hear what we’re saying and what we’re talking about. I want them to know what we’re thinking, they need to know, and when they find out, they won’t sleep good tonight, tomorrow night, any night. We’re coming after their butt. We’re coming after them today, we’re coming after them tomorrow, we’re coming after them the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.
We will not rest, we won’t sleep, we will not be deterred until we reach our goal, and that goal is simply this: to paint this state – the entire state – not North Alabama, not South Alabama, not East Alabama, not West Alabama, the entire state, orange and blue. Now Terry Bowden and I didn’t always agree, and we didn’t always see eye to eye on everything, but we did agree on one thing. We might not get them, the Alabama mamas and papas, but we were going to get the sons and the daughters. We were going to get the children, and we are getting them. Birminghan was once their bastion, their home ground, their turf. Lookat the statistics. Statistics don’t lie. Birmingham and Jefferson County students are coming to Auburn as never before.
We’re winning the battle there, and we’re winning the battle everywhere else. Take a snapshot here, take a snapshot there and it might not be evident. But in your heart, in your heart of hearts, you know we’re winning the battle, and you know we’re winning the war. Where are their sons and daughters going to school? Think about your Alabama friends and the number of their children who are coming to Auburn. Inch by inch, person by person, child by child we’re winning the war. It might not be evident in every battle, and it may or may not be evident today, but we’re winning the war.
All we have to do is keep the faith and keep on fighting. Every day in every way in every arena. The future is ours. All we have to do is fight for it and take it. Keeping the faith, that’s the key. And I don’t want to get anybody mad, and I don’t want to offend anybody, but think about the Vietnam War. Think about it in the context of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. Time and time again we Americans claimed victory. We read about it in the paper, we heard about it on television, we beat ourselves on the chest.
And what did it get us? In the little things and the hearts of the people? That’s where wars are won and lost, and we’re winning this war with Alabama, just as sure as you hear the sound of my voice, we’re winning it. You know it and they know it.

It's a literal cult mentality. And they want to come to a sports board and lecture about how "we care about the university."
You may care but I promise they only care as far as your donations go.
