It's us against the college football world.
I kind of like it that way, honestly.
They can have their Gameday segments about tradition, glory, and prestige. They can have their Keith Jackson highlight tapes and their volumes of lore on ancient coaching legends.
They can have their money, their votes, and their TV deals.
They can act like we don't belong or don't exist. They can act like TCU is more deserving or Boise State is more interesting. They can downplay the quality opponents we've run through each week this season.
They can act like the Iron Bowl is one sided in favor of the school for delusional blowhards in Tuscaloosa. They can ignore that it's nearly .500 and that we're 7-3 in the last 10 Iron Bowls. They can ignore that the home locker room in Bryant Denny has only celebrated after an Iron Bowl one time, and that was only because they played the worst Auburn team in over a decade.
These people - self-serving and power hungry - can try to minimize for what Auburn stands. They can try to slander our warriors, and they can try to defame our success.
But one problem the college football world has is dealing with the one fact staring them in the face. That one fact they won't be able to stop. After all of their attempts and tries, the fact will still remain that tomorrow, November 26, 2010...
We comin'.
