ALABAMA/AUBURN: IT’S THE SMALL THINGS, REALLY.
It’s the small things that really make a rich rivalry. For instance, taking this photo the wrong way:

Nope. Nothing implied in this photo at all.
That pic was taken by Michael E. Palmer of the Tuscaloosa News, who we’re sure just snapped it innocently. However, the reaction statewide will undoubtedly be the same:
Bama fan: Good to see Coach Nick Saban’s doing all the right things, up to and including making sure the place is safe from blunderbuss-wielding Auburn grads marauding the place on their battle cattle. Troglodytes.
Auburn fan: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Takes deep breath.) aaahhBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAA….
Rinse, repeat, and shake until the metal ones turn us into livestock class of the 25th century.
(HT: Will.)

And of course, the obligatory fark.

Considering their prowess in such academic subject matters as Poultry Science and Swine Research, graduates from that cow college in Auburn already enjoy the distinction of being a part of the livestock class of this century.

That’s good, because the bar they seem to flock to had “bring your own pitcher” on their daily schedule last week. I kid you not.

That Dog is there to keep the black players out. That Officer is there to keep the white players in — the locker room.

Dammit WorstFan. You beat me to it. Regardless…
That Dog doesn’t know how that “officer” got through the Academy.
And Doug - well done.

10 it’s believable with Sherman at the helm. If Fran was still there it would be moot.

The cop is there to keep Auburn fans from spying on Saban’s OMG AWESOME playcalls, because there has been an Auburn conspiracy in the works to do that ever since Saban was hired, and THAT PROVES HOW PARANOID AND OBSESSED AUBURN FANS ARE!

Re: “battle cattle”
Where do you come up with these little “gems”?

“…making sure the place is safe from blunderbuss-wielding Auburn grads marauding the place on their battle cattle. Troglodytes. ”
That was the position Kines had after the Shula era. He’d box their ears and toss them into the pit of doom.

Maybe Bama thinks they’ll meet USCe in the SECCG and they’re bringing in trainers in what they know can take down the Cocks.
