To start with, I hate their colors. Dark Navy paired with blaze Orange is just not my cup of tea. The name "Auburn". It's named after some bum-frick city in Alabama.

The fact that it's such a redneck school located in a small city in Alabama with cow pastures everywhere, yet people who go there act like they're attending a prestigious university or something.

Football-wise, their team is the very definition of Busch League. The best example of "Little Brother University" their entire program centers around beating Alabama, but even that doesn't seem to be enough. They can't reasonably expect to be an elite program, yet they seem to fire every coach no matter how much relative success they have.

Rooting against Auburn is painful. They seem to always narrowly escape defeat by the narrowest of margins - usually due to an absolute fluke occurrence like a Hail Mary or a Kick 6, or the refs adding a second to the clock, etc - and then they have the audacity to celebrate such victories as if they're the best team in the world - even if it's against Georgia State.

Auburn is like a cockroach that you want to kill, but it always gets away. You hit it with a shoe, and somehow it's still alive. It just won't die.

They seem to have some sort of cosmic contract with God to spoil Alabama's fun. Alabama goes undefeated in 2009, and then Auburn gets Cam and goes undefeated the season after - the first time in 53 years, and it comes right after Alabama does it. What are the odds of that? Just to take the shine off of Alabama's resurgence. Then they go on to have the best record vs. Saban of any SEC school despite hiring a string of dipshits at HC.

Auburn defies logic. They are an enigma. An entity that only exists to be hated, and to play spoiler. Nothing about their program makes any sense, they seldom have much success, and yet somehow they're still around like an annoying gnat that just won't go away.

Alabama is the most storied football program of the South. Dixie's football pride.

Alabama's uniforms are the best.

With only 2 games left, plus conference championships, there are NINE P5 schools with only 1 loss.

Is this normal? It seems to me like there are a lot more 1 loss teams than usual this year.

Some of them will work themselves out like OSU, Michigan, and Michigan St.

But what do you do with a 1-loss Wake Forest team? I mean the ACC is a power 5 conference. Oklahoma and OK St. are both 1-loss teams from the Big 12.

If Alabama beats Georgia we could end up with a total mess at the end of the year, and then there are a ton of people who seemingly want to throw Cincinnatti in the playoff just because they're undefeated.

If Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Wake Forest, OSU, Oregon, and Notre Dame all have 1 loss, plus an undefeated Cincinnati, who gets in?

We fully expect to play teams at their fullest strength and want to. It’s the only way to shut them up

Alabama has worse injury luck than anyone. You won't hear us complain one bit.

We've lost 3 RBs to season-ending injuries, plus our 2nd-best pass rusher, plus our center, plus a starting safety, and a WR, and probably more.

We probably have more injuries than any team in playoff contention.

Still like our chances.

Literally the only way Bama can beat us

There are many ways Bama can beat you, as evidenced by the last several meetings.

We don't have much of a backup QB this year though, so that bodes well for you

Look it up. May not have been the last thread I started, but look it up.

Exactly. It's over for them. They've been #CURSED :speechless:

Auburn is the definition of Busch League. That's why everyone always roots against them. frick Auburn

But hey, at least they're ranked 38th in recruiting. It could be worse
