Every time I think, 'that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard from a barner', they say something else. I have finally learned not to argue, just listen and laugh.

Why does it shock me that Auburn keeps finding more ways to look stupid. You'd think I would just expect it by now.

It's like in pro wrassling. Why do we still laugh out loud when the whole company winds up flailing away at each other in the ring? You're just waiting for it - you know it's coming, yet you stay glued to the TV.

Auburn is the car crash that defies all logic.

They are listed as poll champions in those years, whatever that means. However, they are only listed twice as national champions on NCAA.com. I think two of the ones that we claim aren't listed on their website. Those should be removed.

I think they want to do this because it may help their recruiting. I still think they will just be the barn.

If somebody actually thinks that declaring a team over a hundred years old as national champions is going to affect recruiting, they are dumber than dirt. I'm still wondering why they cried so loud back in 1983 - apparently, they won a championship.

10 years from now they'll claim they won this year's Superbowl. They're probably out trying to find players from the 1903 and 1913 teams right now so they can give them a ring.

For Jacobs, the teams with the strongest cases are 1913, 1983 and 1993. He was a starting offensive linemen for the 1983 team, that finished 11-1 including a Sugar Bowl win over Michigan.

“Those three teams are listed in the NCAA record book as champions. It’s hard to dispute the NCAA record book,” Jacobs said. “The former players that have been on those teams, they all support it as I do from playing in ’83.”

The NCAA record book recognizes NO champions of major college football (FBS, D1).

You know what is the most mind-boggling thing? Jacobs played on the 1983 Auburn team that didn't win the AP or UPI titles. Does he have a national championship ring from that year?

And if not - how did he suddenly decide 31 years later to say they DID win a title that year?

That just makes it that much better. They may have to go to go get themselves some rings made!

AU Fans' Favorite Troll Job About to Go Away: Auburn May Recognize More Champ...

If they want to claim championships from 1913 then fine. It shows their winning tradition of winning NCs every 50 years or so. Let that last line sink in. But, for 1983, why wouldnt Miami have a problem with it? They were "declared" NCs that year. AU is trying to claim something that belongs to the U.

And why have they spent the last three decades whining about being robbed if they actually won something?

They'll find something to troll, it comes natural to them due to their inferiority.

Yeah. I'm trying to find a Miami board to see how they feel about that.
