Because #1 is Alabama's rightful place, and we were born to be there.
That's what you're looking for, right?
If I had the time or energy to spend the next 10 pages with the back and forth bullshit, I'd write a 3000 word essay on the similarities between Alabama and Auburn's fan base. "Nothing's ever good enough for Bammer" says the fan of a University who was ready to throw bricks at a damn good coach a little over a year ago. Not just a damn good coach, but a damn good man who ran a clean program for the better part of a decade. Statistically speaking, one of the best coaches to ever walk the sidelines of Jordan-Hare Stadium. One bad season, and that dude needs to get the fuck out.
Bad fans? I had a snaggle toothed Auburn fan wearing a flat bill black and white Auburn hat, yell "Rammer Jammer yeller hammer go to hell alabammer" at me and my 5 year old in the Gadsden Mall while my kid was riding the kiddie fire truck. Not from across the mall either. No, he was less than 10 feet away. I should have hit that bitch in the mouth. And shaped the bill of his stupid fucking hat.
So fuck your generalizations.
And don't drink and drive.
This.
I'm still waiting to see where all of this comes from. I haven't seen it on any of the boards I go on. And I totally agree on the part about CTT. As much as Alabama has been laughed at over the years for making boneheaded coaching moves, and knee jerk reaction, AU firing CTT was the mother of all knee jerk reactions. The guy gave AU 10 pretty good years, and a 6 year streak against Alabama. AU fans bitched and moaned about how AU was winning, but not beating teams into the ground as they wanted. AU's offense was too plain-old-jane, and needed to spice it up. So, he brings in a different OC. Fine, its what the fans wanted.
He hired the wrong guy, realized it, and fired him halfway through the season. Auburn made a TOTALLY knee-jerk reaction and canned CTT before he was allowed to completely un-fuck the situation. Its a damn good thing AU's BOTs do not run Alabama. I suppose Saban would have been fired after 2007. If people think CTT couldn't un-fuck the situation, that is just ridiculous. He already had it halfway un-fucked by firing Franklin. For all we know, CTT could have hired Malzahn for the 2009 season, since the groundwork had already been laid for such a system. It was that easy.
Anyways, ever since Chizik's hiring, I have never heard so many AU fans sound like some of those in our fanbase who always bullshitted about what was going on during Shula's tenure. Some of you here may not realize it, but alot of AU fans are the same as some of our fans, just wearing different colors.
