Auburn's Latest Little Brother Move

Auburn has been really busy lately, y'all!  After an exhausting few weeks of back claiming national championships, they took a break to remind us all that they are still Bama's little brother.  While preparing for Big Cat Weekend, the AU grounds crew decided to track Chris Davis' path during his game winning touchdown run in last year's Iron Bowl.

These kinda gimmicky moves define the auburn program.  And this is another glaring example of how different the 2 major athletic programs in this state really are.  You know the old cliche' by now... Alabama wants to win championships.  auburn just wants to beat Alabama.  Tide fans would still be in a severe depression had we been the program to break the SEC National Championship streak.  We'd still be utterly humiliated if we were the only SEC program to lose a national championship game in the entire BCS era.  Not auburn.  They never blinked an eye because they beat Bama.


In the spring following Bama's complete jailraping of auburn in the 2012 Iron Bowl, Saban proudly displayed the BCS National Championship trophy to recruits.  He could've put a picture of Gene Chizik's ass on the jumbotron because that 49-0 score proved Saban clearly owns it.  Instead, he used our 15th National Championship to impress the countless 4 & 5 stars visiting The Capstone.  That's what storied programs like Alabama do.

Meanwhile in auburn....

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

Image
F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
