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.)

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.

That was the position Kines had after the Shula era. He’d box their ears and toss them into the pit of doom.

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!

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.

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.

Noah –
Probably has something to do with the 8 or nine players who’ve been arrested since Nick Saban’s arrival at the Crapstone.
It’s part of the process. And he doesn’t have time for this (discipline) shit.

Tater Salad says:
Crapstone? How old are you?
I don’t mind Bammer, but crapstone? Seriously?
And who really gives a shit about discipline anyway? If you care whether players on your alma mater’s football team will become productive citizens in the future, you’re in this shit for the wrong reasons, brah.

Not being from Alabama, I’m curious as to how the whole Bamma-Barner thing got started. “Bammer” I would guess is a bastardized and abbreviated version of “Alabama” in that folks around there probably pronounce it “Alerbamer.” But “barner”? Are people around Auburn that much more hick than those in Birmingham? Curious minds – maybe just me – wanna know.

Speaking of Bama jokes I saw the guy with Rammer Lammer tattoo at a Northport restaurant the other day. After further reflection, his J is still backwards.
