Whoever posted this reply was spot-on.

You guys are right, I don’t understand it. I’ve been there, plenty of times, and still don’t get it. Much in the same way I didn’t understand the Branch Davidians, Scientology, or Heaven’s Gate. You people are weird and creepy as hell.
49-0.
It is not JUST about football down there.
They really do have a cult mentality.
They honestly believe attending college at a middle of the road state school is a mystical experience.

And yes, I graduated from the University of Alabama, which I freely admit is another middle of the road state school. I love my alma mater. There is nothing wrong with that.
But it is not a Church. It is a university.

Auburn has simply the most delusional fanbase around. One way to gauge it is that PF Show is broadcast all over the nation and his show is designed to bring out the cookiest fans out there. By my count, Auburn has every other school beat 2-1 in this category.

The "value" part actually goes back to a WSJ article which was based on self-reported attendance, revenue and expense figures. Do you all understand now?
What I'm saying seems to have flown past all. I've seen AU's numbers on attendance, income and expense. They stink to high heaven and they're the ones supplying the numbers the "value" is based on to the WSJ, which is what the article is based on...

i just dont understand articles like that. it's like the writer doesnt actually see this stuff in person. I live about 4 blocks from Jerdin Hair. at halftime of both the UGA and A&M games, it was like someone pulled a fire alarm.

There are lies, **** lies and then there are statistics.. Mark Twain

Don't know if that is right phrase or not, but pretty close. Sometimes I believe you can substitute survey for statistics in that phrase and the meaning will still be true in its intent.
They used the statistics like a drunken man uses a lamp post. For support rather than illumination.

It all makes sense now. I guess being delusional makes everything seem much more than what it really is!

Those numbers were widely ridiculed and regarded as false and inflated when they published them. In fact, they were flat impossible, given their attendance. That was before they got incorporated into the Journal article...

My boss, who is a HUGE aubarn fan, told me she stopped going to the games mid season and starting watching Bama because she was tired of watching ugly football. How is that for loyalty???:cool2:

I understand. It's like ALL politicians that extol their party's line when they are ALL sticking it to us. In other words...lie, deceive, misrepresent...etc...etc.

Roll National Champions, Roll...A'ight!
