Not sure Rammer Jammer is a tradition, but the reason opposing teams sing it is because the song doesn't simply celebrate a Bama victory, it is a direct taunt toward your opposition immediately following a loss.

No one would care about Rammer Jammer if it wasn't directed squarely at the opposing team/fans and telling them you just beat the hell out of them.

I don't think anyone sings Rocky Top after beating Tennessee (though it wouldn't shock me if Bama fans did).

Clearly you don't understand what irony is.

The poster was comparing Bama fans rolling toomer's to Auburn fans singing Rammer Jammer. I explained what I thought the difference was. These items you listed have nothing to do with that comparison. If you want to compare singing rammer jammer to those events, feel free.

^ This statement is a good example of irony. As was an Auburn fan speaking of taunting. Thanks for playing.

Nope.

I was explaining why opponents sing rammer jammer after beating bama and how it differed from rolling two oak trees.

Simply because certain people associated with Auburn have taunted in the past (including me) does not mean that every instance of an Auburn fan (or me) discussing taunting is ironic.

Exactly.

Now that is completely different. While I wouldn't want to roll it, setting it on fire would be ok in my book.

The internet wasn't even invented in 1941.

Exactly. Let them have their traditions. Anyone that wants to roll the trees is just being a jackass.

So -
all Bama fans are assholes
all orientals good at math
all blondes are dumb
all stereotypes are an intelligent summary


You're smarter than that or are you just being an arse because the person you're debating is stupid?
