Good grief.

Seriously. Good grief.

Look, if you want to play the history game we can do that all day.

This year’s Auburn team IS one of the worst in the SEC through the BCS era. Vanderbild didn’t have an undefeated season in the BCS like Auburn did….but I didn’t claim they did either. Vanderbilt has taken Auburn’s win record this year and MULTIPLIED IT.

Does Kentucky even HAVE a rival in the SEC in football?

If all you can do is try to twist what people say into insults that you are compelled to defend, it’s no wonder nothing has changed at Auburn. Yes, Alabama had terrible years. I was there at the time even. And I complained. And I went to games. And I showed my support.

But don’t tell me I was angry at Alabama. I knew better. HIstory had already taught me that.

That’s what bugs me the most about Auburn’s culture——the whole “us against the world” mantra puts the blame on everyone else. Auburn is bad but Alabama has been worse, or Auburn is bad but at least blah blah blah.
How about Auburn is bad and I’m going to do something about it? I can’t imagine what it’s like to just go to Auburn blogs and complain about Auburn when Alabama is in the dumps. I can’t relate to that.

But I can tell you it’s not helping, and it defines the core culture of Auburn’s allegiance. Us against the world.

Indeed.

This is 2012. If you want in 8 years we can come back here and I’ll point to this year’s Iron Bowl again and point and laugh. But that’s just not me. That’s not Alabama. We have history, but the difference is we also have a future.

The Winners are always hated….which makes us feel good!

#2 ZDAuburn -> You’re comment is worthless. We are competing for our 3 NC in 4 years. So, yes….the LA-M game is a fading memory. Now go back to being Vanderbilt’s bitch.

You reap what you sow….

But that doesn’t mean I have to like it, and it doesn’t mean TAMU wins anything without Manziel.

But again, it’s off-topic, and now you’re bringing up the 2010 Iron Bowl? Cam Newton was just as important to Auburn as Manziel is to TAMU. Nobody’s making excuses, but don’t expect anyone to like it. Nobody’s saying TAMU and Auburn didn’t play well in those games, but you’re not going to let me say Alabama made huge mistakes either. Can’t win here. Just have to win on the football field.

Fortunately, we do that quite a lot. Roll Tide. I’ll send a postcard from Miami when you’re at home lying to your friends that you’re not watching the title game.

Worst game of the year by Alabama? I dunno I thought they looked worst again LSU. Granted it was on the road in Death Valley which is a hard victory any way you look at it. Four extremely bad play calls by miles gave that game to y’all.

PS I thought you were responding to the whole post what about the auburn D shutting you down in the ’10 IB?

The conduit:

I want camera footage of each Auburn fan as they leave Bryant-Denny Stadium more angry with their own football program than with ours. I can’t imagine what that’s like. (I replied hence terrible record from Mike Dubose and the coach carousel that was U of A from the late 90′s to the early 2000′s and I knew a lot of frustrated U of A fans at that time that were more angry at their program than ours.. while we won 6 in a row)

enjoys it in spite of Auburn being one of the worst SEC teams I’ve seen in the BCS era. (Look at Kentucky, Vandy, and UT not like any of them have had 2 undefeated seasons and a NC in the BCS era)

I never reveled The Chiz as being an answer to our head coach vacancy a few years ago. shit I wish we would have kept Tubbs (Even though he was prone to lay an egg every once in a while we played hard nose disciplined football). JJ is a dumb ass for giving him that huge extension a couple years ago. makes me wonder if he’s also getting a piece of it.

But you know keep to you bama ways.. y’all forget so fast

I do know that not too long ago YOUR Mike Dubose (Gene Chiz) was being heralded by your fellow Aubies as being ‘just as good’ as Saban. Hmmmmm. How things change.
