The irony of the handle of this commenter is not lost on me.
Coming from the program that suspended $Cam Newton for a practice, this is rich.
Please let the Dawgs beat you guys twice on Saturday night, Barners. You fixate on this while Missouri comes in and whips your butts.
Auburn sucks.
Having lived in the Triangle for nearly 25 years, I can say with confidence that Auburn football is the NC State basketball of the SEC, only with more imaginary championships.
The Pack definitely has a little brother complex when it comes to Tobacco Road hoops. I did go to a State-Duke game at PNC where they beat Duke impressively. You would have thought it was 1983 all over again.
Auburn football in the post-NLI world is what bathtub gin became after the repeal of the Volstead Act:
Completely irrelevant and unnecessary.
Having been born and raised in the Triangle for the past 56 years, I can say with confidence that I’m not sure I agree. The ’74 championship with David Thompson, was before my time, but the folks that still discussed was entirely warranted. The ’83 championship, I attended as a kid every home game. Seriously the best playing of basketball I’ve ever seen. Totally motley crew of players, that managed to win it all, with a coach that is legendary. So point being, and I have no affiliation with NCSU, please resend your comment regarding NCSU as compared with Auburn.
And Reynolds Coliseum was rocking.
Fair enough. NC State’s glory days happened long before I moved there. I lived there long enough to become familiar with them, but for the majority of my time there (mid-90s to early 2020s), UNC owned State in basketball.
My comparison to Auburn was basically one of whining about the refs being against them and everything is a conspiracy. I lost track of how often State fans would claim that the ACC screwed them over to prop up the conference darlings in UNC and Duke. Nothing was ever due to them being outcoached or their players not executing. That’s pretty much what we’re seeing with Auburn.
Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that their rivalry with UNC is the same as Georgia-Auburn. For one, both Georgia and Auburn hate each other and both fanbases consider the other to be a rival. The UNC-State rivalry is more akin to UGA and Tech. State and Tech see UNC and Georgia as their main rival, whereas UNC sees Duke as their main rival and Georgia fans have a wealth of rivals, depending on when and where you grew up.
♫ If you wanna drive a tractor then you’ll have to pick tobacco,
If you can’t go to college go to State ♫
Born and raised in NC. The vibe there is sort of that State is intellectually inferior, sniff sniff, to UNC and Duke. And they wear it to the grave.
I proudly tell people I got my Georgia diploma on the Lewis Grizzard method. I had to stop.
State certainly has that reputation among UNC people. They see it as a safety school, which is nuts. State is a damned good school. Their facilities are state of the art, which honestly is more than UNC can say. In hindsight, I think I would have gotten a better graduate education at State. I respect the school, but not the fans.
I’m here for their misery.
I also don’t have any issue with the call for transparency. Long overdue.
I’d like more transparency, but not at the expense of their misery. More misery for them, please.
Are they the whiniest buch of MF’s in the country or what? They’ll claim a couple more National Championships soon to make themselves feel better.
FUCK
THOSE
MOTHER
FUCKERS
I have said this before, but it bears repeating: Like Tom Skerritt’s Duke said of Robert DuVall’s Maj. Frank Burns in the movie MASH when a patient croaked on Frank: “It’s God’s will or somebody else’s fault.”
Except with Auburn, it’s usually someone else’s fault.
Nice old school reference.
If the Auburn fanbase didn’t already exist, SEC Shorts would have to invent it.
Very good.
LB commit Toodle that we flipped from Aw-Barn, just flipped back to them. They offered his Juco brother as a package deal. Sure there will be a quality replacement available with all of the coach firings lately.
OMG…your gravatar 🤣🤣🤣👍
FPD, immediately adopted it after seeing it for the first time years ago. My Florida hate runs deep. However, there are several teams moving up on my shit list!!
I fervently hope Missouri kicks their ass this Saturday
I hope there’s a little controversy in there as well, just to add to their persecution delusions.
Oh, can you imagine? Mizzu is on the 1 yard line, runs a QB dive, Auburn punches it out, butreply confirms it crossed the goal line before coming out? We might witness the simultaneous explosion of 80,000 heads.
Or replay, take your pick
That would be hilarious.
The players, and now the fans, are following the lead of their head coach. Victim mentality pure and simple. Victim mentality means you don’t have to try hard or change because it is all always someone else’s fault. I bet Hugh’s halftime speech was a doozy. Suck it barners. Go Dawgs!
They aren’t teachin’ the best over at the University of Auburn School of Law….
M-I-Z!
I hope the game with Missouri ends with Auburn trying to run their FG unit onto the field with five seconds left, down by one point and looking at a ten yard chip shot that will give them the walk off win,
But then clock runs out because the ref (same one that believed Kirbs if I’m going to fantasize) thinks Freeze is just clapping and doesn’t stop the clock.
Game over..Barn loses..again.
Thanks EE. The lunacy can be hard to deal with sometimes. I mean, always.
I wonder how much of this recent extra dissatisfaction with officials is because of high definition TV.
Also, we mock but I’ll give 2 to 1 that within 5 years there’s a lawsuit about major college football officiating in California or another lawyer happy state.
Since a plaintiff has to show that the defendant owed her/him/it a duty to do something or refrain from doing something and the game day officials breached that duty the chances of success in both “lawyer happy states” and “lawyer unhappy states” is zilch.
Auburn voluntary joined the SEC and remains in the SEC. What duty does the SEC have to Auburn that is greater than the SEC’s duty to the remaining 15 members?
You probably have some kind of a point there, but don’t get bogged down. I still think there will be a suit in one of those lawyer happy states. Legalities don’t matter when there’s justice to be served in California! A deep pocket on the other side helps.
