  1. if bammer had 7 million then Auburn must have had 70 million. Because everybody hates Bammer. And the only reason any body would have watched was to see Bammer get flogged.

  2. Everyone has heard of Penn St. They have a tradition and a history of producing good football teams. And everyone knows about Bama and the numerous National Championships. Auburn just doesn’t live up to those kind of standards. The only standard Auburn knows is “Hate Bama”. A win against Bama is the closest feeling they get to winning a National Championship.

    This summarizes the whole rivalry. Period. Well said.
