[quote="BeachSiO2, post: 315964"]What a glorius gift Sabanation has given us at the beginning of the trash talking week of the year. I don't even think Shula lost to La-Monroe, or any other Louisiana-directional school for that matter. I guess LSU wasn't enough. Say what you want to about AU and GA last week, I will still be smiling!!
 
Here's rooting for one on the other hand since we ran you the last five years.[/quote]
:bow:I have vowed my loyalty to Auburn.  I agree with you, the Sabanation has made this weekend super funn.  
 
Can I get a pointer?:wave:

I've been thinking about this game for awhile. if AU wins at home as expected and makes it 6 in a row that will set up the biggest game in the history of the series next year in Tuscaloosa. The bottom line is Saban was hired to end the streak and the pressure will be unimaginable to prevent a 7th loss in a row. If there is an SEC West title on the line for either team it would add even more to the story line in 2008.

Sabanation can take heart with this fact:LSU laid an egg and lost to UAB his first year there(thanks Josh Booty)-the next week they beat a highly ranked Tennessee team.  Then again, I am almost positive Saban's teams never managed to beat Tuberville on the plains.  Should be fun to watch.

[SIZE=2]Auburn fans should learn manners from Alabama[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]By: Michael Schouest[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Posted: 11/9/07[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]Before I attended the LSU game at Alabama this past Saturday, I expected the same hostile environment I experienced at Auburn this past year. Auburn fans are, as a group, the most combative and rudest people I've ever met, but I was surprised when the fans at Alabama turned out to be the exact opposite. They were very friendly and easy to talk to, and Alabama's campus was a haven for celebrating the game of football. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]From the time I arrived at their campus for tailgating until I left after the game, Alabama fans were the most polite opponents I have ever encountered. Tailgating with Alabama fans was like a different flavor of LSU tailgating. Sure, the Tiger Athletic Foundation and other tailgating organizations were there, but they made up a small minority across the entire campus covered in red tents. Despite being outnumbered, the tailgating experience was just as friendly as if I was at an LSU home game. [/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]During the game my dad and I were seated with a small pocket of LSU fans surrounded by a sea of red sweat-shirts. Throughout the game's many controversial calls and surprise rulings by the referees, the Alabama fans still maintained a friendly demeanor toward us. We were talking to the Alabama fans in front of us and were surprised when we could agree on the referees' bad calls. Even when LSU pulled ahead and won in the final minutes of the game, the Alabama fans would still shake our hands saying, "Good game." I've never seen this kind of hospitality in so many people at a football game before. I was treated almost as if we all went to the same school. [/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]My experience with Auburn fans, however, was remarkably different. At a time when the biggest controversy was vulgar language coming from the student section, Auburn fans proved to be worse. In addition to the usual combative nature of a rival team's fans, Auburn fans at the LSU home game earlier this year were rude and unsportsmanlike. When LSU won the game with one second left, Auburn fans in the upper east deck began throwing trash at the field in protest. Nachos, chips and beer alike all rained down upon the LSU fans below them. This past year, my dad and I went to the away game against Auburn and witnessed almost the same level of arrogance. Auburn won that game, but I still saw objects being thrown by Auburn fans as LSU repeatedly charged for the endzone. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]With Auburn, rude and unsportsmanlike behavior does not end with the fans. The Auburn band would always play while our own Tiger Band was playing. Even after the game, when the Tiger Band played the Alma Mater, Auburn started up their fight song trying to drown them out. For those of you unfamiliar with marching band etiquette, this display put on by the Auburn band is an insult to our Tiger Band. It is considered an insult for a band to play during the other team's Alma Mater after a game, but shame doesn't stop Auburn. [/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]What is the cause of this difference between the hospitality of Alabama fans and the hostility of Auburn fans? It can't be a result of their cultural upbringing. Auburn and Alabama are both in the same state, and both colleges are public universities. Alabama, founded in 1831, and Auburn, founded in 1856, both have more than 150 years of rich Southern history. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The similarities between Alabama and Auburn continue. According to Collegetoolkit.com <[/SIZE][URL="http://collegetoolkit.com/"][U][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]http://collegetoolkit.com/[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/URL][SIZE=2]> , ethnically, the student bodies at both colleges are overwhelmingly white and both colleges accept more than 70 percent of their applicants. According to each university's Web site, Alabama costs $5,478 for instate tuition and $15,494 for out-of-state tuition, while Auburn charges $5,786 for in-state tuition and $16,286 for out-of-state tuition. Auburn costs more to attend, but the difference is only $300 for in-state and $800 for out-of-state tuition. Additionally, the cost of tuition at Alabama and Auburn both fall below the national average, according to a 2006 USA Today survey covering 75 of the country's "flagship universities." [/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]I do not understand how the cultures of Alabama and Auburn can be so different. They have so much in common, yet one college is home to the most polite fans I've ever met and the other produces the most arrogant and unsportsmanlike fans I've ever seen. Auburn fans really need to clean up their act. I know this is football, but their behavior is over the line. As for Alabama fans, I can only compliment their exemplary Southern hospitality, and I hope every Alabama fan gets a chance to read this column before their match with Auburn eight days from now.

Here's what I have to say about it, Back in the 80's and 90's I went to EVERY USM game, whether it was ALA or Colorado State in Colorado.
I too found the AlA fans friendlier than Auburn(they threw bottles, ice whatever at you from above) But the nicest of all were the FSU noles!!We year after year were invited to talegate with them,they would come to HATTIESBURG even. Didn't matter what the score and it was usually one side one way or another, (think New England type scores this year).Since then I've really been a FSU fan. USM did beat ALA and Auburn more than once. We made a living recruting guys from Alabama that were passed over by the big 2 there, and they loved going back and playing them..Yes, we always had to go there to play them, no Hattiesburg for them.
I miss playing them, now that were in a conference we just play one SEC team each year, back inthe day we played State , Ole MIss, ALA and
Auburn each year.
this is just my take on the deal.:wave:

We made a living recruting guys from Alabama that were passed over by the big 2 there, and they loved going back and playing them..Yes, we always had to go there to play them, no Hattiesburg for them. 
I miss playing them, now that were in a conference we just play one SEC team each year, back inthe day we played State , Ole MIss, ALA and 
Auburn each year. 
this is just my take on the deal.:wave:

went to the ala. - dawgs game in  Tuscaloosa, never seen so much red (and I'm a Bulldawg), never been treated better and met friendlier foes, even after overtime loss.  however, Auburn has always been rude in no matter in Auburn or Athens. I remember the year we won in tigertown and they turned on the water hoses to get us to leave. Hey Tigers, I hope the Tide rolls on  you , remember, this has been some ,strange season! GO DAWGS!

[quote="cp, post: 316629"]Here's what I have to say about it, Back in the 80's and 90's I went to EVERY USM game, whether it was ALA or Colorado State in Colorado.
I too found the AlA fans friendlier than Auburn(they threw bottles, ice whatever at you from above) But the nicest of all were the FSU noles!!We year after year were invited to talegate with them,they would come to HATTIESBURG even. Didn't matter what the score and it was usually one side one way or another, (think New England type scores this year).Since then I've really been a FSU fan.

Thanks!  :wave:  

I miss the "king of the road" independent days too.  Every year was new places to go, new fans to meet.

Now we get surprises in other ways, and they are not nearly as fun.  :bang:

What a glorius gift Sabanation has given us at the beginning of the trash talking week of the year.  I don't even think Shula lost to La-Monroe, or any other Louisiana-directional school for that matter.  I guess LSU wasn't enough.  Say what you want to about AU and GA last week, I will still be smiling!!

Here's rooting for one on the other hand since we ran you the last five years.
