Yesterday I made it to the first away game of my life and had a pretty good time. Auburn's fans treated my friends and me pretty civily for the most part...they were either polite and joked about the game or just ignored us completely. But it was a completely different story AFTER the game.
While we were walking back to our car one drunk Auburn fan who looked to be in about his mid-30's starts walking next to my friend and has the following exchange...
Drunk Barner: yall are just getting by on luck and Bear Bryant's legacy!
My friend: Well in that case yall are getting by on nothing and no one's legacy.
Drunk Barner: Oh yeah? Well Tubby did a pretty good job against yall.
My friend: Why would you brag about a coach that yall FIRED? And Saban looks like he's doing a good job against yall so far...
After that the Auburn fan took one last swig of the Michelob Ultra bottle he had in hand and then smashed it on the sidewalk in front our feet and screamed "DELETED" before storming off to the condo that he was apparently staying at. I thought this was particularly sad because this was a grown man trying to pick a fight with a 20 year old.
After that I had the pleasure of seeing a group of drunk Auburn fans standing on an apartment balcony yelling "DELETED" and other cute obscenities at passing bama fans.
I'm not trying to make this an indictment of their entire fanbase because most of the Auburn fans I encountered were pretty decent, but did any of yall have any experiences or witness the sort of thing that I just talked about?
