thanks, LSUSCOTT (obviously a bama fan), the creator of this. What is Auburn Football? It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is sharing a mascot with numerous other college, junior college, high school, junior high and pee-wee football teams It is the smile on Ben Leard's face after throwing an interception that lost the 1998 Virginia game It is the feeling of anticipation during the walk down Wire Road from your trailer to "The Jungle" It is having a cute little nickname like "The Jungle" for Jordan-Hare It is putting up a banner for losing the tie-breaker for the Western Division title It is throwing a parade for finishing second Again, it is throwing a parade for finishing second It's having singer briefly Jimmy Buffett attend your school -- but he think so little of it, his only recording of college life is "Livingstone Saturday Night." It's about seeing your rival's prominent place in America culture represented in movies (Forrest Gump, The Junction Boys, Sweet Home Alabama, Bear) songs and fiction -- and knowing that no one has ever featured Auburn in a major motion picture or hit record -- and never will. It's knowing that your program rode to any sort of national recognition on Alabama's coat tails -- and knowing that if it wasn't for 'Bama the rest of the country would care less about Auburn than they already do. It's about drive-by shootings at your new running back. It's scheduling Ball State and the Citadel and then wondering why no one else in the country thinks you should be considered a co-national champion. It's about corrupt directors mismanaging your school and almost losing your academic accreditation. It's about allowing rich, fat boosters on the sidelines and their demanding your head coach call the plays they want during ballgames. It's about seeing Alabama all over the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend -- and seeing Auburn barely mentioned in passing. It's about sneeringly calling The University of Alabama "UAT," all the while praying nobody remembers your school's original name was "Alabama Polytechnic Institute." It's knowing that your arch-rival is one of the Top Five Top College Programs in the entire history of the game -- and knowing you'll never come close to matching that grandeur. It's knowing your best bet for a national championship team could only beat injury- and NCAA-beleaguered Alabama by 8 points in the 2004 Iron Bowl (and be losing to them at halftime). It is and always will be about "Keep it down home, cuz" It is about having a cute slogan like "AttitUde" or "AUdacity" in order to fire up your fans It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is the hope that one day; Auburn will win a national title without sharing it or being on probation. It is knowing that if the Tigers finish second, it will be OK because they will throw a parade anyway It is living up to every stereotype about Auburn by letting the players ride on hay bails during that "victory" parade It is accepting the National Title from the only person who will give it to Auburn, a 16 year old kid with an AOL account It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is Terry Bowden It is Eric Ramsey It is having a head coach who used to cook catfish for a living It is Napoleon Syndrome It is Little Brother Syndrome It is the Red Headed Step Child Syndrome It is believing 2 Heisman Trophies = 2 National Championships It is knowing that only one other school in the NCAA has been put on probation more times It is using Toilet Paper to celebrate a victory and wondering why the world treats Auburn like No. 2 It is cancelling the Florida State game a month before the season because you don't want Bobby Bowden to punish you on national TV for running his son off. It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is calling the 1989 Alabama game "The Mountain Top," instead of using that title for a championship game It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is yelling "Punt Bama, Punt" 30 years after that chant outlived its cleverness It is not taking the "Punt Bama, Punt" bumper sticker off your truck 30 years after that sticker outlived its cleverness It is having a runningback who couldn't pass a third grade English test It is constantly correcting people that Auburn is in Alabama, not Georgia It is drawing national attention as a barn burns down next to the stadium during the LSU game It is having a bovine research center less than a mile away from the football stadium It is having a trailer park less than a mile away from the football stadium It is the look on Terry Bowden's face as he's about to pass out at the Flora-Bama It is the plane ride to Louisville It is having the same amount of SEC championships as Georgia Tech, who left the SEC 40 years ago It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football It is the probations It is the trailers It is the cows..... IT IS AUBURN FOOTBALL!!!
LSUSCOTT didn't actually write that...its older than him...but anywyas. (and much of the information is inaccurate) Here is a nice rebuttle. What is Alabama football? It is getting serenaded with "Rocky Top" by the Minnesota band after losing a 3rd-tier bowl game. It is worshipping an old dead drunk. It is losing cases in courtrooms from Memphis to Tuscaloosa and still thinking you were innocent. It is losing 3 in a row and 4 of 5 to your arch-rival and still maintaining an air of superiority. It's rolling baby, it's rolling. (I love Destiny references) It is never beating your archrival in your home stadium, named after the dead drunk, and claiming your archrival has an inferiority complex. It is claiming 12 national titles when no one else with half a brain recognizes you with more than 6. It is claiming a national championship after losing to Mississippi State and Vandy. It is claiming national championships retroactively. It is claiming national championships after losing your bowl game. It is all about the Benjamins. It is 5 coaches in 5 years. It is 2 probations for cheating in less than 10 years. It is a worse record and winning percentage than AU in the last 20 years. It is going to Hawaii to get beat and calling it a "Bowl" game. It is moral victory after moral victory. It is having a coach with less career wins than Tuberville got in one year. It is knowing that your biggest tradition is buying and bidding on players. It is being a national laughingstock and not even realizing it. It is delusion, delusion, delusion.. It is "knowing" you are the best team even when you lose. It is knowing that the refs are against you. It is knowing that the NCAA is against you. It is knowing that UT owns you. It is getting turned down by USF's coach. It is trying to make yourself believe that you're superior to Auburn. It is going through 4 coaches in 2 years. It is having head coaches leave for places like Duke, Kentucky, UTEP, Texas A&M, Millsaps College, and Luverne High School. It is having your 5th choice for HC turn you down. It is asking if "Got Twelve?" refers to the number of players in your history that weren't bought and paid for. It is watching Tommy Tuberville AND Phil Fulmer having as many SEC wins at your home stadium as your own Head Coach. It is dreaming of a day when you could beat Tennessee 3 times in 15 months. It is hoping that Northern Illinois doesn't show up again to ruin Homecoming. It is reminiscing of Shula's Greatest Game - a win over Southern Miss. It is offering Ole Miss walk-ons Football Scholarships. It is sharing a home field with the Blazers. It is being proudly named the "Crimson Tide" after merely tying Auburn in a football game - and broadcasting that fact to the world on your website. It is fans proudly displaying toilet paper rolls and empty detergent boxes when the whole world can see that you don't know how to use either. It is a Million Dollar Band and a Two Million Dollar Defensive Line. It is decades of ignorantly mocking your arch rival for being named the Tigers and yelling "War Eagle" when you're called the Crimson Tide and have an Elephant walk the sidelines. It is having your head football coach make less than the head basketball coach. It is Phyllis of Mulga being the prettiest face in the Bama crowd. It is giving your head coach a contract extension after going 4-9 and 6-6. It is giving your head coach a contract where he can earn a bonus for winning 7 games - and the bonus remaining unpaid. It is throwing bricks through your coach's window after a 10 win season. It is knowing that Notre Dame takes pride in saying "well, at least we're not as bad as Alabama". It is bragging about playing your arch rival close but losing with your third string QB, third string FB, and third string RB when just 2 years prior your arch rival beat you with their second string QB, fourth string FB, and fourth string RB on your own field. It is running off the last coach that won you a National Championship. It is recognizing that the closest your Head Coach and Quarterback will be to a ring is when they shake their fa ther's hand. It is threatening to leave the SEC and having no one notice. It is pulling for Memphis because they're actually winning and they have your 150k D-lineman. It is proclaiming your QB to be the best thing since sliced bread after he shreds Utah State, Mississippi, and Western Carolina before he gets hurt....again. It is having a head coach realize that the ugliest stripper in Pensacola was prettier than the Alabama coaching job. It is running off your backup QB by playing him with a concussion. It is having a losing record since January 1st 2000. It is tarnishing the legend of your greatest coach by playing an incoherent drunken sound-clip at the beginning of each football game. It is knowing what used to be and then realizing what is. It is being the fourth best football team in your state. It is scoring 20 whole points in 3 centuries against your arch-rival on campus. It is forfeiting games for playing an ineligible player for an entire season. It is getting caught cheating while still on probation. It is having the AD with the most experience hiring head coaches in the nation, yet worst track record. It is trying to convince your 15 year old son that Bama is a powerhouse because he can't remember those days. It is having your senior quarterback declare that his team has as much talent as Auburn, despite being 0-3 vs. Auburn and watching Auburn win 5 more games against mutual opponents over the past 3 years. ! It is having Vandy or Kentucky on your schedule for 50 consecutive years, until 2005's SEC rotation finally kicks them both off. It is running up the score....against Western Carolina....and limping off the field. It is declaring that your D is "back" despite watching it give up 20 or more points to Arkansas, South Carolina, LSU, Auburn, and Minnesota - all in losing efforts. It is breathing a sigh of relief, because Troy lost to Northern Illinois too! It is bringing an offensive coordinator out of a 4 year retirement...from Tulsa...after he posted 1 winning record in 12 seasons. It is bragging that as an OC, Shula's NFL O was ranked #29, and then realizing that the NFL only has 32 teams. It is preselling season DVDs because no one will want to buy them after the season. It is having a radio announcer that will remind you of a victory 20 years ago every five minutes. It is paying more to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against your coaches than you paid to build your chimes named after an all-night diner. It is having a flea market outside your stadium on game day and calling it "atmosphere". It is knowing that your coach scored more on his secretary than he did against Auburn in your home stadium. It is having Auburn's head coach given The "Bahr Bryant" coaching award. It is the memory of your greatest coach losi! ng his last Iron Bowl. It is that horrid pregame shrill you call an elephant that more accurately resembles the sound of the Bear rolling over in his grave. It is having a local Mercedes plant but advertising that Kia is the official import car of your football team. It is having a losing record to Phil Fulmer who bears a remarkable resemblance to the Pillsbury Dough Boy. It is hiring your head coach away from being a Maitre D' at a steak-house. It is paying 900k a year to go 10-15. It's having a 2-3 record versus Louisiana Tech. It is being turned in by the Dough Boy, then blaming him because you were cheating. It is coming to the gross realization that you may never be a great team again because the NCAA has finally figured you out. This is Alabama Football.
UH...........................................UM....................... ......................AHHH......................I'm speechless
I hate Auburn almost as much as I hate Cancer, World Hunger, Yard Work, Child Abuse, Drowning, Getting Shot in the Face, and Michael Moore, and I do plan to name my next dog Auburn and beat him every day, but I have to give the nod to the Auburn rebuttal on this one. Advantage Auburn...
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BB again. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Poor dog............ :rofl: :rofl: I have to go with the Auburn one as well.............. :yelwink2:
Old timers like myself hate Alabama more... maybe because we didn't play Auburn that often back then. Alabama can't lose enough to make me happy.
