Are you kidding?!?
After David Housel compared sports in this state to warfare?!? People die in war. People have their lives, livelihoods and homes destroyed in war. There's only one reason why someone would compare an intrastate rivalry to warfare: pure hatred.
Auburn people hate Alabama. From their doctoral graduates right down to the average toothless redneck living in the trailer park off Wire Road. Why?
Because until very, very recently Alabama beat them like the unruly, heathen little savages that they are. Year in, year out. They could count on one thing around Thanksgiving: a big dinner and an *** whipping from Bama.
Because of that, no Auburn fan will ever pull for Alabama. Ever. They prayed for Penn State in the 1979 Sugar Bowl. They were hooting and hollering when Miami scored in the 1993 Sugar Bowl. They cursed, spit and screamed at Alabama for doing something they haven't done since the divisional format was adopted: Win the SEC Championship by beating Florida TWICE in one year.
Right now, Auburn is sitting at 9-0. They have a lock on the SEC West and are headed to ATL for a return date with Tennessee, another bunch of savages with nothing but hatred for Alabama. I hope that either Georgia or our Men in Crimson, or both, send Auburn to ATL with at least one loss.
I don't want Auburn to win an SEC title. I don't want Auburn to play for a national title. They don't deserve it. They haven't earned it. The only bad thing about Auburn NOT winning an SEC title is that Tennessee will. Talk about the lesser of two evils. I'm not even sure there is a lesser evil.
The only reason either team is where they are now is because they, along with the rest of the SEC, conspired to rat us out to the NCAA, and used that against us in recruiting. No way. No way on God's green earth, in heaven above or the pits of hell below, am I pulling for Auburn.
It's a new day though, barners & viles. Take this to the bank. Bet the house, the farm, the wife and the kids on it. When we get back on our feet, we're gonna start whipping you like the unruly, heathen little savages that you are.
