My bad...I always thought Bama stood for class. Guess not in some instances huh? Anyone who loves Bama should care about its reputation.
 
I'm not getting into the debate over whether chanting "USC" is classless or not. But the rest of the nation can see our reputation is in tatters. That is to say, they see our rep as being tattered and torn. Of course we don't see it that way. But I don't believe chanting or not chanting is going to affect our national image right now.

I was there and did not chant "USC". I found it as classless as Minnesota playing "Rocky Top". We are Alabama...there is no need to belittle our inferiors.

Oh please. You can step down off your pedistal now.
 
Let's end the classless debate with this:

I posted it on the basketball board, but it needs to be repeated here. Some friends of mine were at the game, and they went down to the announce tables to listen to the post game show. An Auburn student had a sign that read "1983", as in the year Coach Bryant died. Needless to say, my friends were both ticked off and stunned.

A friend of mine(I think it was Tidehead) made the comment that we would never stoop so low as to bring a sign with the year someone like Jim Fyfe or Tommy Joe Eagles died.
 
no school or team or organization or club or anything has truly classy fans....all teams have fans that boo the other team, rub it in when they win, make excuses when they lose, secretly laugh (sometimes not secretly) when a star player for the other team gets injured, cry about poor officiating, talk bad about their coaches, players and team when they do stupid things and retaliate in some way when the aforementioned is done to them....some fans moreso than others

and don't say that it's pride because that can be an argument for both sides....all teams have classless fans, all teams have classy fans....and (perish the thought) 'Bama is no different

we have all been classless at one point or another, some more than others....I have seen many fans from many teams and I can say with relative assurance that if you are a fan of a particular team you will have tendencies during games to be "classless" (which I've yet to see a definition of)

that being said, I would have chanted "USC, USC, USC" as loud as I possibly could have, I have chanted "overrated" more than once, I boo at almost every game I attend and I like to taunt some people that have allegiances other than my own, and I chanted "Roll Tide, Roll Tide" when Mike Price and UTEP played at La. Tech this year....but I can also take the taunting that others do to me

if this makes me classless then I guess I am but before we go on a big whoop-de-do "let he who is without blame cast the first stone"

Exactly my sentiments. I dish it out, but I can definitely take it. Yeah, I was one of the ones who got p!ssed off when minnesota played rocky top, but on some deep, sick level I thought "D@mn. That was ballsy, and a pretty good little stunt on their part. Wish we were ballsy sometimes..."

I know there are several of you who have inaugurated yourselves the class police, but give us (the students) a break. There is something that just makes us so incredibly happy when we sing the Rammer Jammer or taunt the other team or cut out hundreds of pieces of yellow fabric to wave when we think there has been a penalty. We think we're funny. We laugh at ourselves. Some people laugh with us. Others get p!ssed off and cry. We call those who get p!ssed "grumpy". Those who laugh with us lead a much happier existence, and possibly weigh less. Everyone knows that laughing burns calories.

{yeah, this is my opinion, but i like being sarcastic. so don't get all offended. please.}

Au folks are hurting for some character

That is really sad! Those people are in such delusion and denial about this past season. If this is how things work I think Dale Jr. should have a parade and get some of his fans to present him with a People's choice Nextel Cup Championship! What a joke!!!!!! I am really more shocked and stunned to hear this than anything. I still have the website saved in my favorites when USC was way ahead in the voting and the poll was fixin to close. It is quite a shame that they are that hell bent to be recognized as nat'l chumps even if it means forsaking all common reasoning and reality. Having ONLY your fans thinking the trophy actually means something. I don't know what to say, this is so ridiculous and absurd! I guess that is why Trev said it best," And this is why you are Auburn". :p :p :p
