Is it just me?
« on: January 17, 2012, 03:32:31 PM »
Do the bammers seem to be making a bigger deal of this NC than 2009, and does it seem so because of the way they won it?  Because, even though there was a big argument for them not to be in the game, and the fact that they really backed in to it via all the right losses by other teams, to them seems to confirm in their minds that it is their rightful place no matter what?  Any of y'all hearing it that way?

I think they are playing it up more than 09 just b/c we won it all last year.  Last year chapped their asses pretty bad.

I think that's got a lot to do with it too.  I just detect an attitude that they won it because they're entitled to it.

Honestly haven't heard much about it.  Luckily I work with all engineers so I am well insulated with fellow Auburn fans.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

That's what keeps you insulated from Bammers. Having a job, life, etc.

Lucky you, quite the opposite among the bench and bar.  I'm well in the minority among my work peers.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I can imagine it's totally different for everyone else, but this is my first football season living outside the state of Alabama since I was in the 5th grade.

It's been pretty damn nice, I must say.

Yeah, I have to deal with corndogs, but it isn't even remotely close to the same universe as working with bammers.

LSU was never the main topic of discussion, but after they lost, it was full focus on the Saints, and now that they lost, it's Mardi Gras time.

Plus I finally broke my Finebaum habit, so it's like I don't even know bammers exist except in the context of making fun of them either here or from the people I choose to follow on Twitter.

Fine, just continue to gloat and rub salt in the wounds.

Keep speaking.  I need all the momentum I can muster when my wife watches me put up the for sale sign come September. 

It has been worse this year.  I've heard the following:

1. This team is easily in the top 3 best BCS champions because the defense is the greatest of all time. 
2. This proves that Auburn only won a BCS championship because they had to keep up with the #1 program in college football.
3. Nick Saban is the second best coach of all time - this latest BCSCG sealed it.
4. They were finally able to claim the following with veracity: You never actually beat Alabama; they merely had a bad game and would always win the rematch.
5. The voters were willing to put 2011 one-loss Alabama into the BCSCG but not 2004 Auburn thus establishing the fact that no one respects Auburn. 

I have to leave this state.  Being Finebaum free (Since December 28th!) hasn't been enough.
