Flamers prepare, but GO BARN!

[BamaNLouisville]

Before you chew me up and spit me out, hear me out....

I've had the displeasure of spending the last decade-plus of my life away from our great state. Some places I've been have no concept of the greatness of college football (i.e., New Jersey, New York, Bosnia), and others have an inkling (Kentucky, Texas to a greater degree), but none know it an love it like we do in the Heart of Dixie. Now...

In each of these places, it's been a battle beyond that of my favorite team. It's evolved into one my home state teams (hence the Barn, UAB, Troy) and my conference (*see NOTE below). No one here will argue how those posers in the other conferences think theirs is better than the SEC, and it's been my mission...NAY, my PLEASURE...in the last few years to defend the SEC as the gut-bustingest, head-knockingest, blood-thirstiest, a**-kickingest conference in the college football realm. At times, that means rooting for those I would normally despise (*again, see NOTE below). And this is one of those times.

Nationally, by association, if Auburn looks good, and if the SEC looks good, we look good. To hell with West Coast teams and Boomer Sooner and Florida non-SEC teams. Go Bama, Go Barn, and Go SEC (*again, see NOTE below).

I hope the Tide beats the snot out of the Barn, but if for some ghastly reason it don't happen, the best of luck to the Barn in their title hunt. Again, football in Alabama is by default, ALABAMA FOOTBALL.

Okay...flame away...

NOTE: Tennessee can burn in Purgatory. I never have and never will pull for the Viles. Ever.

Hey, I'm stuck out here in HI with season tix to a team that just got 69 put on it by Boise. I'm with you....when you're 6000 miles away from the homeland, you root for your home state. So go Barn (ouch, that hurt) :eek2:

 

[Capstoner]

:BigA: Yeah, I will pull for the Barn too..... uhmm wait.......never mind, hell has not frozen over yet. Go Georgia.

 

[Bama63]

To quote somebody: "That does not compute."

Not flaming you, BamaNLouisville, but I've been exiled in Louisville for over 30 years and I still can't picture myself getting mixed up, sick, and confused (or drunk or doped up) enough to pull for Auburn, any time, against anybody.

Sorry Capstoner but uga won't be there to play the Barn in the SECCG. It is the Barn or Tutorsee. It will be cheer for the Barn against Phat Phil U or not. Then they can move on to the rest of the title hunt. That is of course if they can outscore an inspired BAMA team!!!!

RTR

I will never root for the Barn, except against notre dame of course. But I don't want to lose recruits to the barn, and I don't want to hear it from the barner's because they finally won a title. I can't help it, I just don't like Auburn.

My thoughts almost exactly, except I'd pull for ND over Auburn. I have been a Bama fan all my life and with it comes an intense dislike for all things orange. Hunker down Hairy Dawgs and RTR!

 

[RollTider82]

If you want to see our local recruiting hit the skids...

then hope for Auburn to win a NC. I pull for whatever helps Bama the most. Auburn winning a title will not help Bama, therefore I do not wish to see it happen. I do not care what anyone thinks of our conference. Just tell them the real national champs were from the SEC last year.

Louisville is the best of the bunch. At least here, it's sorta the south and they sorta like football...b-ball being king, of course.

 

[RollTide85]

I choose to flame...

This is the most ridiculous post ive seen to date, why was it even made? Basically you just proclaimed you like the Barn, do you realize that?

uhh, who do you think AU plays next?

Like I said, Go Georgia! :BigA:

 

[Crimson Surfer]

I disagree and will never pull for Auburn Football to be more successful than Bama no matter what has happened or who they are playing. I respect your opinion, I just don't agree with it. Hopefully Georgia and Bama will both beat them and this will be a moot point. Roll Tide!

 

[bat123]

Well you can see how far away I live and I hope the barners lose out...... go dawgs!!!!!!! :BigA:

 

[BamaNLouisville]

Never did I say I like the Barn. When it's pull for a homestate team, or a PAC 10 team, or Penn State, or USC, or ND, or Oklahoma, or Texas A&M, or anybody else who isn't Alabama or SEC, then I guess so.

When you've spent a little time away from home, you'll understand. And those of you that have (UAE), i respect your opinions, too.

I agree completely RollTide85. BamaN Louisville you must have been away from the great state of Alabama for a long time to say you will root for the Barn.

 

[RollTideNAlbertville]

I do not see Georiga beating Auburn, and I hope they are undefeated when they come to our house, so we might have a chance at knocking them off.
As for the SEC Championship game, WAR EAGLE all the way. :BigA:

 

[Capstoner]

Mooooooooooooooooooo

 

[POWERLINEMAN42]

i cant allow myself to root for aubarn. i had the great pleasure to take my mom to the barn/kentucky game(nelson club tix) and while watching the bama/ut game there i realized how much the barners still hate us. 90% or more that came and stood beside me to catch some of the game was rooting for ut. so i still stand firm on my statement when i say i'll still root for anyone that plays the barn. except tennessee and ill hope the tv shuts off.

What some of you are failing to realize is that by being petty against pulling Auburn, you're lowering yourself to their level. They're the ones who are bitter from living in our shadow over 100 years. Quit stooping to their level. A true man will pull for them anyway, knowing that he is being the bigger person by doing so. If we can't beat them, then more power to them. I refuse to act like a child and lower myself to their level.

 

[Capstoner]

A true man will pull for them anyway.

haha!!! For a minute there, I thought you were serious that Alabama fans should pull for the Auburn Tigers. By the way, is David Housel still saying that they are coming after our children and our butts???? Is he still comparing Alabama to Nazi Germany and the Iron Bowl as the Vietnam war???
