I guess enough time has passed that we decided to crucify our ego and lay claim to seasons that we have a very good argument for (pre-BCS).
I’m okay with it. Bama manufactured plenty out of thin air, some of which they didn’t have a good argument for, and have gotten away with it. Hoist the banners for 1913, 1957, 1983, 1993, & 2010.

I rode to Alabama Poly games in a wagon back in '13.
Took us four days to get there.
We kilt possums at night along the way and sold them for a nickle apeice so we could root the boys to victory and take care of the horses for the return journey.
Thems were the days I tell ya.

Wasn’t there a hitching post under the corner Toomer oak?

Don't recall but it makes sense having some shade for the animals.

I remember you couldn’t fill your radiator from the horse trough, not even if there wasn’t another horse in sight

Having K, jmar and snags talk about being a part of the transition from horse and buggies to the automobile, when that guy released the Eagle for the first time after he got back from WWI and when they greased the RR Tracks so Georgia Tech couldn’t make to back to the ATL is a treasure.
We need to treasure hearing these stories. Just don’t sit in Snag’s lap when he asks you. And he will ask. He can tell the story without that.

Auburn can even fuck this up. Should be 6, including 2004.

04 is the most legit of all but 2010 and 57.
Bad move leaving that one out.

Print the t-shirts. Raise the banners. Paint the stadium.

Fuck the Tide. You left that out.

I’m kind of tired of being “oh we are better than that” and then you see Ole Piss pull up in trucks with THREE TIME NATIONAL CHAMPIONS blaring all over them. They have none. I know that. You know that.
You know who doesn’t? Kids they are recruiting. Anybody much under the age of 40. They’ve told the lie long enough.
Same with Bama. Just keep repeating the number. Deny anything else.
Same with pudding brain’s “81million votes”. Tell the lie. Stick with it.
Six national championships. I’m fine with it. I saw one with my own tear-stained eyes. That’s more than a whole lot of fans of other teams will ever do. That’s all that personally matters to me.
So claim them. Everybody else does.

You’ll see another one or two in your lifetime, at least I hope. Our time has to be coming, right? We have the most dedicated fans in the world. It feels like it is time for another Dye-typed Dynasty. That may not mean a championship every year, but it will leave a legacy of memories to share and pass on.

No. I don’t think I will live to see another. Just being honest.
Im at peace with that.

I'm not so sure of that with the bloated egos of Texas and Oklahoma moving into the neighborhood. This is not the time to blend in with the Vanderbilts of the world. We aren't wilting on the vine like Tech. What we do now however in the current recruiting lottery could set us up for another magical run at a title as only Auburn can.
We aren't on probation yet. We bear witness to some of Shug's teams and everything in between up to Hugh Freeze. I mean Tot went undefeated with Coach Dye's boys. Tub's had us on the landing several times and then 5-16 Chizik delivers.
No other program in our lifetime can equal what Auburn has been able to do in college football because no other place like it exists.

I used to be against it.
I'm all for it now. If we don't we get left behind because of exactly what you said above. OM, Ark, Aggie - all making them up out of thin air it seems. And recruits care and don't know any better. So yeah, I don't think we have much choice.
