To save making a new thread, i'll ask in here. What 10 things should I know about supporting auburn?
1) There are two answers that trump just about anything an opposing fan can say to you: a) Bo Jackson, motherfucker and b) Cam Newton, bitch. Automatic wins regardless of the topic. So if someone says "your team just got beat by Central Florida," you can glare at them, invoke the name Bo Jackson and they are rendered immediately irrelevant.
2) If you are being curb-stomped by another Auburn fan in a discussion, you cannot invoke Bo or Cam for the win. Here you attain victory by invoking "The Creed." As in "Read the creed, asshole." If you don't know what the creed is, you should learn.
3) You must know the difference between War Eagle and Tigers. You must also feign amused disgust at anyone who does not know the difference.
4) You must be able to recite the words to the Bodda Getta cheer. You must pretend to know what "Bodda Getta" actually means, but refuse to share that knowledge with anyone.
5) You must know who Jordan, Foy, Haley, Dye, Hare, Housel, Beard, Eaves Heisman and Donahue are. You should also know who Barfield and Bowden are and be able to provide a 1000 word essay on their shortcomings.
6) You should know what Toomer's Lemonade is (and where it is purchased) and pretend to enjoy it even if it makes your teeth ache and your vision double.
7) You must know the significance of the following numbers: 7, 88, 34, 2, 74, 1989, 1957, 2010, 2004, 17-16 and 344-844-4244.
8) You should know what kind of whiskey Bear Bryant drank and what kind of cigarettes he smoked so that your mocking skeletal tableaus will be as historically accurate as possible.
9) You must get misty eyed at the sight of an eagle soaring and know why.
10) You have to understand that Auburn fandom is more than football or sports. It's more than rolling trees or tailgating. It's almost a religious experience. We don't tolerate half-ass. If you are in you have to be all in. No equivocation. Doesn't mean you can't complain or question just that the faith remains strong.
11) Bonus: If you ever -- EVER -- see somebody wearing Auburn gear you are required to greet that person with "War Eagle." It's manadatory. Not so much here because you'd be doing it all day long, but anywhere outside the state of Alabama it's a rule.
