Is it as bad as you thought it'd be?

Some felt that the day to day tolerance of Alabama fans would be intolerable if they won the National Championship.  Has it been as bad as you expected.  I understand I'm from the other side but aside from some redneck pics at Walmart I don't think the fan base as a whole has been that bad.  What has your experience been like?

It's been every bit as stupid and ignorant as I expected, yes.

The last 31 years didn't happen. Bahr handed the baton straight to saban. We are right back to "always"

So far today I've heard a numbnuts explain how bammer don't ever thank bout beatin aubren cuz they always do, what make bama great is they only thanks about the nashenel champeenship.

And another lecture about how recruiting stars mean nothing.

Funny. The opposite of what was said 18 months ago.

I'm as close to the Cesspool as I would ever like to be....Job.  And it's not that bad at all, hell it seems almost as if someone else had won the Championship, of course I see the gas stations with their "1/2 off" bammer T-Shirts...but I saw that before the Championship game.  I also don't listen to Fuckhead anymore, mainly because he isn't a "Sports" talk show host, he's just a talk show host and the callers are 98% bammers.  Also, Fuckhead is a paid bammer puppet.

It's been pretty bad, but not as bad as I expected.  I've had a few stories, but mainly, radio callers and message board posters (Rivals) have been the worst.  But they were terrible anyway.

It hasn't been that bad.  Mainly because Auburn isn't in a world of shit right now. 

Bammers need that "Auburn sucks" variable in the equation for it to really go bat shit crazy. 

As Kaos said though, the memory loss is astounding.

He's just trying to keep his team as the Hot Topic of the day or week...eventhough Coach Pete Carroll stole basically ALL of bammer's thunder, then Coach Tuberville kept it going....then Coach Kiffin....then Tennessee getting turned down by every coach that they wanted up until the 11th hour (I think Derek Dooley will do a great job there for about 2 years, then he'll be at Georgia after they get rid of Coach Richt)....Now Auburn lands a STUD OL prospect and Jake Holland gets his deserved 4th Star, which will put Auburn above SPuat tomorrow in the Rivals Team Rankings.  They're getting desperate for attention, I passed by a Waffle House, on my way home, and saw a SPuat Memorablia Stand with a sign that said "1/2 OFF ALL Merchandise"....I nearly threw up, I was laughing so hard.

which will put Auburn above SPuat tomorrow in the Rivals Team Rankings. 

I had a plan.  I was going to dig through the archives at AUN and post all of the links of you fuckers saying how much better Scout was than Rivals and ridicule you for it.

Then I remembered....

I stated that Auburn would pass SPuat tomorrow, but I'm not sure how long it'll take for the Rivals people to go through all of the re-evaluations then rework the rankings.  The Team Rankings will be finalized soon.  BTW, Rivals has Auburn ranked #4, 80 points behind #3 SPuat, that's only counting 10 4 Stars....we've got 11 now.  Wooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!

does this really matter though?  I mean, I'm as excited as anyone about having a successful recruiting haul....it important.  But if it's one spot above or two spots below Alabama isn't really a big deal is it?  I mean, if they were #2 and we were #21, that would be different....and mostly because we were #21.  But if we have a top 5 class....what does it matter where they are?  Either way Auburn has had a strong class.

I totally agree, I'm point out the facts.  Auburn will be ranked above SPuat by the time Feb. 3rd rolls around and it's going to irritate the living fuck outta the bammers and some Auburn fans....because, they'll have to eat crow.  "Coach Cheese, Chizz, Jizz will never be able to recruit better than Coach Sheban", the rankings will say otherwise.

Since you always like to point out that Alabama's 2008 class was ranked #2 after you take out guys who didn't make their grades anytime anybody mentions back-to-back #1 classes, are you going to make sure you correct anybody who mentions AU's final ranking before non-qualifiers are taken out? I highly doubt you will.

Here are a few reasons why I don't panic too much over Auburn's recent recruiting success:

1. Alabama is still bringing in a good level of talent.

2. Tennessee, LSU, UGA, South Carolina, Notre Dame, FSU, Michigan, etc. Figure it out.

You're just looking for something to be a little bitch about. Like I said, AU is seeing some success in recruiting right now. You would have to be an idiot to argue otherwise. However, Alabama is still bringing in talent. Its not like the 2008 class when Alabama totally choked off AU. As long as Alabama is bringing in talent, and if AU happens to be doing the same, then I'm fine with that.

Part two of my post should be fairly obvious. Signing some talent is just step 1. AU is knocking that out of the park right now. Step 2 is putting them into your program, and getting a result on the field. Look at the recruiting rankings over the past few years. For the 2007 class, Tennessee was ranked #3, LSU #4, South Carolina #6, Notre Dame #8, UGA #9. The 2008 classes? Notre Dame #2 (as Prowler will quickly point out, they were #1 after you take out non-qualifiers), UGA #7, Michigan #10. Even though the 2009 class would probably have the least impact on a team out of the other classes listed, LSU #2, UGA #6, FSU #7, Michigan #8, Tennessee #10. How exactly has that translated for those schools?

It comes down to evaluation and coaching. A bunch of guessing. Many teams have proven that just because they can sign them, it doesn't mean they can do anything with them. Its still to early to pass judgement on whether or not they work out after they get on campus. Thats the way it is at any school. But if you can get them on campus, thats half the battle.

1.  Do you think Auburn fans will be crushed if we're not #1?    

2.  Do you think we'll be printing up "crutin' chameenchips" t-shirts to sell on the side of the road like Bammer did/ does?   Anything and everything I've seen would be in mocking your POS sidewalk fan base, and the fact that Bammer has claimed that Auburn couldn't possibly hang with the ulti-midget.

3.  Besides Richardson (that everyone here has been talking about possibly not making it in), who do you have knowledge of, that aren't going to make it in?
