It will be alright. You are a part of the SEC and we all accept that.

“State Universities” like Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, Etc have historically had a huge built in advantage over other smaller or land grant schools (Financial support, etc). Auburn is a land grant school with ZERO built in advantages. In fact, Auburn might have the biggest disadvantage in all of sports - being in the same state as bammer. Despite this, Auburn keeps risiing back to the top and winning SEC championships and even occasionally plays and wins national championships. The state schools hate us because we take what they believe is rightfully theirs. The other land grant schools hate us because we make their failures more evident when we succeed. They love to use the excuse of “we don’t have all the advantages”. (Texas vs Teas A&M). But Auburn proves to them you can win. In summary: They hate us because we win while giving everyone the finger.


It is a myth that Auburn gets less state funding than UA. Precisely because AU is the land grant school of the state, it gets far more funding than UA does. Having an Ag and Vet school gives AU a huge advantage in funding. What is truly remarkable is that UA has thrived despite NOT having the state med, vet and ag schools.

Why would someone chop block in purpose, anyway?

To injure the opposing player...but you obviously know this and your coaches obviously teach this!!

It could have to do with their inability to remain consistent year over year.


This, coupled with some of the dirty plays and classless coach of the past, is what does it for me. They rise up every now and then and have a pretty good season. Auburn has only managed back-to-back 10+ win seasons in their history('88-'89), and one of those needed a bowl win to get to 10. They seesaw back and forth from being a joke to the occasional world beater, yet act like they're right there with Bama because they have a really respectable head-to-head record. It's just god damn annoying.

You're right I'm just making shite up. How are you gonna tell me what I did or did not see?

Bama wasn't shite during that win streak. I'm talking about the people that hadn't broken out their Auburn gear since the last time they were in the national championship hunt.

People not from Alabama might believe this pap but the rest of us know that all of UA’s lawyer alumni do plenty of work in Montgomery to help Mama Tide.

And LSU acts like they are somehow Bama’s rival despite losing to them year after year after year after year...

Auburn can beat Bama. LSU can’t

I’m not sure. There are an awful lot of Georgia posters these days who talk like your most recent one wasn’t 38 years ago.


Nah. We got plenty of fine folks like you that like to bring it up every single day to remind us. We know how long it has been. But, wow. You seem to be changing the subject about how Auburn fans say things like their "occasional titles", when in fact they have one in the last 60+ years.

Oh, no. they are not a state school, so they are at a huge disadvantage.

How school funding affects their football program is beyond me.

I was looking over my notes of the “Bama Nation” observation study over the years. I’ll read you one of the findings “ they are a tight knit “klan”, if you attack one of them, be prepared to fight off many. If you whip their arse, you will have to fight them off every day. They do not take losing, alcohol , or collar shirt only policy very well.” 3-3-93

Just look at this post, some scientific observations are timeless

SkyKing, the disgust and disdain for you reaches over the entire SEC group of fans. Just read the posts. Whether you care or not is your concern, but don't blame it just on Alabama fans....looks like the feeling for you pretty much across the board is shitty...just saying.
