The joy of beating bammer is not a *comparison* of us against them. It's. It's not little brother finally beating the shit out of his older brother.
It's beating your biggest rival. It's having bragging rights for 24/7/365. The rivalry thing is what makes college football so much better than any other sport.
It's not *finally* beating them, not anymore. Not since Fear The Thumb. Now it's just plain BEATING THEM. We are their match, their equal, and they can't deny it, ancient history and dead coaching messiahs be damned.
Yes, I'd love to win a Natty every year. But you simply AREN'T going to do that every year. Too many variables - like we win the SEC and still need tOSU to lose to get to the last NCG. Whereas beating your hated fucktarded inbred rivals is ALWAYS a possibility. Is always an obtainable goal. And has lasting repercussions.
You don't walk into Wal Mart and crow about beating Oregon - no one but other AU people give a shit
But you can flat out end any argument with a Turd fan from now until the end of time with "Got A Second?"
And that, to quote Uncle Sani, is GLORIOUS.
