The Bodda Getta

Forget it, man. No one can figure bammers out. Many of them simply have no other life outside of football.

1. They don' t like the fact that they got their name " the Crimson Tide" from tie with an Auburn team back before the series suspended for some 40 years.
2. With all the efforts they have put forth in their past to be the big dog ( see William Bradford Huie's 1940 article in old Collier's magazine) they still held only a seven game edge over Auburn until Saban's arrival
3. They absolutely hate that Auburn is not to Bama as Vandy's is to Tennessee or GT is to UGA
4. We will never let the get away with claiming more NC' s than they deserve
5. We laugh or express disgust at their idol worship of their coaches ...we don't have proper respect for the things they call "sacred"
6. Their " dirt road alumni" are generally characterized by the likes of Harvey Updyke.

The same reason that so many Auburn fans act like little brother or worry what's going on in Tuscaloosa, it's a rivalry. Even in the 2000's when Auburn was up and bama was down. You had the same crap from the same folks. Most of one wants the other to fail no matter what is going on in their own camp. It's a rivalry........ The biggest in my mind. Which only makes it worse.
