Well sir, I respectfully, yet vehemently disagree that hating Auburn is dumb. I graduated from that wretched hell hole. I witnessed their villainous treachery first hand, and am more qualified to hate them than most. Auburn fans are like a hybrid of the pretentious pomposity of Bama fans and the 'delusions of grandeur' that Dawg fans suffer from.
No, they aren't as bad overall as Bama fans, those obnoxious a**holes are impossible to top, but they are approaching that magnitude of narcissism. I think the Bammers drag them down to their level when the s*** flinging begins, and let's be honest, when the s*** starts to fly, everyone loses, including innocent bystanders. Nobody wins, and everyone just ends up covered in feces.
I get a lot of, "Why would you cheer for Tennessee?" with the most condescending 'are you crazy' look you can imagine. I'm just like, "You guys do realize that their is a world out there other than this godforsaken state, which along with MS, is basically the poster-child of a terrible state". To which you will get the typically predictable 'Roll Tide/War Eagle'-'yeah but we are better at football' response.
Also, while you continue to cheer for Auburn for apparent misguided reasons, do realize that we haven't beaten them this century, and we recruit against them on a daily basis.
Sorry guys, I will go ahead and end this rant now (before I really get going).
