I read some of that thread that Chizad posted where Saban was assumed to be a diabolical mastermind pulling the puppet strings of Auburn recruits for his own purposes.
Yesterday I heard caller after caller to Finebaum denigrate everything about Auburn from its coaching staff to its recruiting effort.
Typical call: "Paul, who done won the nashoneel champeenship? Warn't that Bama? Uh huh. Chuckle. Them Aubies ain't never gonna larn."
Finebaum yucked it up right along with them and at various times took his own shots, ridiculing Gus Malzahn, Trooper Taylor, what it means to be an Auburn man and what the concept of the Auburn "family" represents.
One caller was allowed to ramble for about ten minutes in order to offer the theory that Auburn's recruiting can be tied to two facts: 1) Alabama done got so many good players that they don't need no more to win the next three or four nashunal champahships and 2) Auburn's in the SEC, so players that Alabama doesn't want will play there just so they can get SEC exposure and the chance to play on TV against the Tide. Not only did Finebaum allow this asinine line of thinking to go unchallenged (if this were the case, why isn't Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Vandy, Kentucky, etc. also ranked highly -- and why has Bama itself lagged until the last two years?), but he also agreed with it and offered his support for the theory dismissing Auburn's current recruiting efforts as little more than riding Bama's wide coattails.
We've heard the attacks on various radio stations and media outlets with veiled accusations about how Auburn is getting the interest of recruits.
Today my attention was drawn to a Montgomery station where the topic of the Auburn family was the day's top item -- and it was being ridiculed as comprised of sheep, goats and cows. This coming on a station that's typically more Auburn leaning.
The question now is why. Why is Alabama not simply enjoying its moment of success (fleeting as it will turn out to be) and focusing on their successes? Why does it seem that for every comment celebrating Bama's current position, there are two more directed at downplaying Auburn?
I've pondered this. I've spoken to a number of Bama friends, all of whom want to talk more about Auburn than they do their own team. And I think I've finally figured out what motivates this current epidemic of Tiger bashing.
In a word, it's fear.
They were so dismissive of and contemptuous toward the hiring of Gene Chizik (as was I) that the possibility that he might match or exceed anything that Lord and Savior Saban has done is unfathomable. If Chizik recruits as well as Saban, that diminishes Master Saban's aura of invincibility. It's inconceivable that Buffoon Chizik could ever match Almighty Saban at anything related to football. If dumb old Chizik can hang with Saban, that renders their exalted one mortal -- and we just can't have that.
As long as we know our place and stay humble -- and beneath them -- they will be magnanimous. But should we do anything to remotely challenge their perceived superiority, should our program show any signs of reaching the level at which they think theirs to be (history be damned) then their own gnawing insecurity, their loathing bred of fear will manifest itself in these type of attacks.
They are, my friends, scared of us. For that reason -- and I've said this a thousand times -- we must be vigilant now. It's why when GW makes his Dye rants I can see the microscopic speck of reason buried in the bullshit. They think they've finally turned the tables after years of struggle. The last 30 years didn't exist, they've risen to their proper place in the universe. They will do anything -- ANYTHING -- to protect that, including spending lavish sums of money to make sure we (and Tennessee and Florida and anyone else bold enough to challenge them, but particularly us) stay in our place. They are searching for anything, any tiny thing they can use against us. In 1991 it was a greedy bastard who didn't find the NFL riches he sought and buried a fine man and a great coach under a box of steaks. A box of steaks. Wow, that is so much worse than a house and cars and thousands of dollars, but I digress. They are at their most dangerous now. Some of the dumber ones on this board have ridiculed the "war" but I have been through this several times in my life. I know it to be real.
For all they've accomplished, their most dominant state isn't euphoria, it's paranoia and fear.

Longshore went on to say how Auburn has "silenced" the Alabama nation during the Tubs run and I laughed my ass off at that notion.
When, at any time during that run, were the fringe Bammers ever quiet?
Longshore is a tool.

I grew up in this war, right smack dab in the middle of it. I saw the tables get turned on them in the 80's. And I fully understand what you are saying K. Well said. :vn:

Chizik and staff have stepped it up since arriving on the Plains. Whether or not this will translate to complete and utter domination of our western rivals remains to be seen. But the average Bama fans revel as if they must use Auburn to legitimize their existence. I suppose there is no crowning achievement without an arch-villain. We are their Moriarty.

Well said K. It's a typical human trait that where you find outlandish, unexplainable behavior, it is almost always due to one of two things....insecurity or delusion.
The Bammers are double dipping it seems, being both insecure and delusional, which is why their "outlandish, unexplainable behavior" is twice as bad.

Don't forget ignorance.

Ooh...the elusive Triple Lindy.

Yeah, that's in there too, but maybe as a cause of the delusion?

Come on dude.

Come on dude.
I can't speak for him, but he may not have been accusing you specifically....but what you wrote, it's out there, in multiple places, posted by Alabama fans ages 12, 42, and 72, male, female, and "other". You know it's true.

Some of you want so bad to believe this is serious. I, along with the people who wrote that, are laughing at those of you that are doing exactly what it was created for.

Come on dude.
In reference to you, I might be joking, ;)

I didn't believe it was serious here, on this board, from you guys. But you're telling me if I peruse some bama boards, I won't find equally asinine posts...that are, unfortunately, completely serious?

That is what I'm saying. You will not find an equal.

The guy that posted it is a legendary prankster. Glorified pot stirrer that has extreme inside information and proves his closeness to the program only to abuse the credit he then receives. His an attention whore of monumental proportions.

You are more full of shit than that lame ass Bear Bryant pic in your avatar. Dude, seriously, go spew that somewhere else.
For somebody that gives prowler shit, you turn around and do it ten fold... amazing.

If we're talking about the same thread his name is Kingpin. He posts on 4 or 5 different boards and carries a reputation with him to the likes of bamaperry. Only difference is 70% of the time what he tells the truth. He loves the attention he gets and he abuses it in his prank posts. Some of it is just to get the Alabama fanbase fighting, some of it is to get Auburn's fan base arguing. He seems to just enjoy sitting back and watching what he created.

FWIW, the topic of Dickpin is for another thread. Not this one. Fuck Birmingham.
