Auburn has the words "Beat Bama" in large letters in their meeting room, as reported by al.com. This is a perfect example of exactly what Auburn is. Their whole world revolves around trying to beat us, pathetic. I figured y'all would get a kick out of this if you haven't seen it yet.

We had the "Never Forget" signs in 2011. Coach Saban made the comment about working 365 days a year to beat an opponent in the state.

Whoa there boys..Take baby steps & be more realistic..The Barners should have put.."Beat Vandy"..And they'll be lucky if they do beat Vandy..

I think that was more about finishing games. Of course it was great motivation come time for the iron bowl, but that was a lot more about motivating the players to finish games no matter the score. Plus, those were printed off on printer paper and are now nowhere to be seen (as far as I know) while this looks more permanent.

The "never again" slogan was more about one incident. Our whole existence is not around beating Auburn, their's is.

This is why I take pride in seeing the slogan "Beat Bama" so often. I never see t-shirts or signs that say "Beat Vandy", "Beat Kentucky" or even "Beat UGA."

Baby steps, Barners, baby steps:

Get competitive first AU, then talk about trying to beat Bama.

That whole 2010 was disaster by Alabama's standards. A great year by other teams' standards. Three 4th down plays killed that season, IMO! They live to beat Bama, them and their fans.

The scrappy underdog always focuses his esteem based on who the baddest man on the block is. And as Michael Hayes used to say, "We lived on the toughest street in town, every house you went by the tougher it got - and we lived in the last house on the block."

They don't even have a cow no more to trade for magic beans.

This is the difference between championships and just winning.

Dakotatider · Jun 9, 2013

They need "Beat someone!" or "Win games" first!!! Beat Bama sounds to me like they will be looking toward that and not looking to the big picture

They should start with holding Alabama under 40, baby steps.

TheRealPokeChop · Jun 9, 2013

they better concentrate on learning to tie their shoes, then maybe they can beat teams like La Monroe in regulation time. Losers.

This just confirms again that Bama-AU is the greatest of all college rivalries.

They say, "Beat Bama." We say, "SEC." We say, "BCS." We say, "National Championshp."

When we said, "Never again," in 2011, it was about never again being satisfied. While the last event was more painful because it was the Barn, "Never Again" was about a broader issue -- the underachievement of the 2010 season. We had the material to win the BCSNCG. But we didn't because we got complacent. Injuries and an unconscious Stephen Garcia played in, but if we had played to our capabilities, none of that would have mattered.

Tough to construe "Beat Bama" any broader than it is...which isn't very broad.

As long as they measure their success by beating us, they will forever consign themselves to second-tier status. When their fanbase truly embraces winning championships, as opposed to beating us, they will have made the transition. I don't expect to see that in my lifetime. In fact, I don't expect anyone alive today, even if they were born today, to see that transition.

Updated for the current state Barner Football is truly in..

They have always measured themselves against us. When the first Iron Bowl was played in Barnville, I saw a tearful David Housel being interviewed saying (at least I think he said this, he's hard to understand) "We're equal".

No, David, you are not. While I do view them as our biggest rival, I go into each season hoping for a national championship, not a state title. Although I confess I do own a shirt that says BEAT A****N (Without the asterisks).

API has got a lot of problems bigger than beating Bama but that's just their culture.

I got no problem with it, but it's one thing to paint a sign & another thing to do it.

Silly Barners you just need to get those check books out & your lawyers on stand by, that the only way they know how to win.

If they removed the "AT" from "BEAT", it would reflect their true desire.

"BE BAMA"
