Via Pete at Fanhouse: the award for cowardice in fandom goes to the Huntsville–Madison County Auburn club for the following announcement about their annual “Beat Bama” party.
Congratulations: you just confirmed your fear of John Parker Wilson, which should result in your collective testicles shearing from your body in opposite directions in protest.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

@50,
Actually, as the linked-to entry indicates, the party was cancelled due to “lack of interest.”
Regardless, let me get this straight: AU fans run their mouths incessantly for the past six years, all jacked up over beating UA when its program was generally at an all-time low, and subsequently when the AU program is being run into the ground at a rate that would make Mike DuBose jealous, Bama fans are expected to “shut up and enjoy” the fact that you guys have finally been forced to shut the f*ck up (for the time being)?
Yep, sounds just like Little Brother–antagonizing the hell out of Big Brother until about to receive your comeuppance, at which time you bitch for the whole thing to stop.
Karma’s a bitch, no?

@49, weagle:
Again, one of your own on attendance for OOC games at Jordan-Hare:
“[Jordan-Hare expansion] is not going to happen any time soon. Why should it? My God, we are 3 years removed from an undefeated 13-0 season and we still can’t fill the stadium seats on a regular basis. Someone posted earlier that when we start winning and appearing in the top 10 on a regular basis that the stadium will be expanded then.. What? We’ve been winning for years now and I continue to see empty seats throughout the stadium in almost ALL of the OCC games in JHS. When we sell out tickets and fill the stadium regardless of who the opponent is on a consistant basis, then we can discuss an expansion.
Many posters keep talking about the Bama expansion. Why? Bama has had the worst record over the past 10 years than in their entire history and they have sold-out and filled that stadium to capacity every game for years. Even with the expansion Bama did, the waiting list for tickets is a mile long.
It’s as simple as supply and demand. When we decide to buy the tickets and come to the games and stay for the ENTIRE GAME, we will show the rest of the country that we need more room. That the Auburn fans demand the tickets. Until that happens, I just don’t think we can justify a multi-million dollar expansion just to see even more seats empty on game day.”

We can’t brag because you guys were down, yet you’re going to get to if you do what you’re supposed to this year? Lawya, please. You don’t get it both ways. Then again, Bama fans have never needed any real excuse to talk shit. It’s a testament to their general ignorance.
MFS, you have officially derailed into la-la land. I brought up recent game attendance to counter your asinine comment that AU Fans were running for the hills, and now you’re playing “My Dick’s Bigger” with stadium attendance and prattling on about proposed JHS expansions. I’m finished with you.

Except we were ranked lower preseason this season than Bama in 2000 and have a better record this season than Bama in 2000. We’ll be better next year. Hell, we may be better in 11 days, we haven’t lost yet…

weagle,
You’re obviously not very bright. My providing you with a post from a fellow AU fan had nothing to do with the relative sizes of our members–instead, it was quite clearly intended to speak to our ongoing exchange about fan support, in general, and game attendance, specifically, at AU. You see, he (like the other AU fan cited to) openly admits the reality that you’ve repeatedly denied (i.e., that attendance at AU games is not particularly strong when the team is struggling and/or the opponent is not big-name).
It’s both remarkable and sad that this must be explained to you.

True, WarCardinals, but DuBose’s running of the program into the ground started long before the 2000 season. 2000 was simply the culmination of his efforts.

I don’t think even Dubose lost to Vandy and Ole Miss in the same season.
Think of it this way – you went 1-2 against Orson’s Biggest Disappointments of the Year.

I may not be bright, but I know a strawman when I see one. Your initial premise was that (all) Auburn Fans have cashed out. You never really define cashed out. Does that mean the stadium is empty? Half full? You’re using a relatively small sample size of “people I know” and the comments (opinions) of two Auburn fans on the internet to support your claim. Sorry, but that just doesn’t hold water. You have opinions. I have numbers in the form of ticket sales.
Is every seat in the house filled, even when a sellout is on the books? In my personal experience, sometimes yes, sometimes no. But it’s on the order of 1 or 2%, not tens of thousands of absent fans or multiple empty sections in the stadium. I can also be frank and say I hate to see people head for the exits when there’s still three minutes on the clock, or when they leave for the last quarter of the homecoming game. But those tickets are still sold; that money is still coming into the AD. So if they sold 85K+ for HC, and had a sellout for UGA, who exactly is cashing out?
You can believe what you want to believe, but your claim simply isn’t true. Sorry to break that to you.

FUCK YOU you bunch of criminal cheering piss pots! I’ll continue to kick you in your collective dicks until you take 6 straight back from us; correction: until you actually beat us. And there are thousands of children in the state of Alabama who know nothing but Auburn kicking you in the face and laughing about it for their entire existence. Till you actually manage to beat us, I give you a tidy FUCK YOU and it’s still mine till you take it back from me. Bryant-Denny, that is. Decades of being dominated in your own house will not be made up in one year. and tell Saban he can shove his shit where the sun don’t shine (that would be JPWs future). In closing: until you do it on the field you can eat a dick. Thank you, that is all.

Wes @ 64
“Decades of being dominated in your own house”? They’ve only played at Bryant-Denny 6 times and two of those games were in 1895 and 1901.
But…..no need to let the facts get in the way of your rant I suppose.
You sound like a pissed off little brother. Just wait ’til Dad gets home.

MSR,
I keep hearing that Auburn only beats Alerbammer when Alerbammer is down. Try seeing how Alerbammer did in 1992, 1999 and this year. Then try and come up with how Auburn did in those years.
While Bammers don’t like to admit it……………the “tradishun rich program” was 22nd in winning percentage over the last 25 years going into the 2008 season. Alerbammer has been “down” since the Berry Bryant left. You are not what you think you are. Go put your black, mesh, Jack Daniels cap on and go yell Rowe Tahd.

MSR says:
Have mercy–trying to explain anything to you aubs is an exercise in futility, as your responses put up a damn nearly impenetrable wall of ignorance and incoherence.
@68,
Can you please point me to where I posted that the only times AU has beaten Bama has been when the latter is down? I made no such statement–rather, I stated (in passing), that the recent 6 year streak has taken place during a period that could reasonably be considered an all-time low for UA football. I didn’t realize that statement was controversial.
In any event, two things: (1) the statement was accurate; and, more importantly, (2) the statement in question was wholly ancillary to the point being made. But I suppose since you couldn’t reasonably take issue with the core argument, you’re only resort was to pick out some statement entirely unnecessary to the argument’s viability, wholly misrepresent it, and then proceed to take it apart. Impressive.
@62 weagle,
While you’ve repeatedly demonstrated the reading comprehension skills of an 8 year old, making it quite clear that continuing to respond to your nonsense is a complete waste of my time, I’m going to give it one more shot.
First of all, I never stated that all AU fans had “cashed out.” You see, I was generalizing about a phenomenon I’ve witnessed among the AU fan base this season. When one generalizes, he does not intend to suggest that every single member of the group about which he is generalizing is guilty of the behavior, characteristic, etc., being ascribed to the group. So, much like your fellow aub, you attribute to me a statement that was never made and then proceed to argue with it–and you’re the one talking about others’ straw men?
Secondly, you’re obviously very confused about how things in our exchange have proceeded. If you’ll remember, you took issue with my suggesting that AU fans were relatively fairweather (again, that isn’t intended to suggest that every single one of them is that way–it simply means that the fan base as a whole has that characteristic to a greater degree than those fan bases comparable in other respects) by ridiculously arguing that UA fans were at least as fairweather. I then suggested that game attendance was a good barometer for measuring the fan bases’ relative levels of loyalty, and pointed out that UA has always filled Bryant-Denny irrespective of on-the-field success (or lack thereof), while the same can’t be said for AU. That assertion was corroborated by objective acknowledgements by AU fans themselves.
Your response? Either (a) inexplicably continuing to deny this reality by pointing to “official” ticket sales figures which mean next to nothing (remember AU giving away hundreds of basketball tickets and then counting those among the tickets sold? remember the 35,000 announced attendance for the spring game?)–particularly in the context of a discussion of fan loyalty/enthusiasm–or (b) confusing the argument entirely.
Ultimately, I could give a damn whether you’re willing to acknowledge that AU fans have a relative tendency to be front-runners (i.e., when AU is good, Auburn football is all the care about; when the outlook is more bleak, it’s an afterthought). All one has to do is watch/listen to AU fans when the team is struggling (e.g., the Huntsville-Madison County Auburn Club) and observe the empty seats in Jordan-Hare on homecoming to know the truth–the proof is in the pudding.
Hope you ‘necks enjoy the next several years. I’m sure that deep down you know it’s going to be a long, bumpy ride down the road of irrelevance, but it’s undoubtedly a trip with which you guys are quite familiar by now. Or, as Trev Alberts so tersely put it: “And that’s why you’re Auburn.”

And the Bammers talk of irrelevance. Puh-leeze.
Why don’t you guys just try stringing two in a row? That at least happened only a decade ago.
Bragging about wins that have yet to occur is about a juvenile as you can get. Typical for a Bama fan.
