Post Iron Bowl Workplace Smack Talk

I told my Barner co-worker that we have a new term for them, sort of like the "Corn Dog" nickname for the LSU fans due to their carnival like aroma. Barners to me are now called "Moth Balls", due to the smell of their old auburn gear they've finally pulled back out of the closet. Each time i see one who's acting obnoxious, i now mention the aroma of moth balls.
 
I am a HUGE Bama fan (my office is covered in crimson and white - mostly because I'm married to an Aub) and am one that doesn't smack talk either. None of the Aubies in my office heard anything from me the last 2 years about the Iron Bowl or the SEC championship or the national championships. We can talk rationally about football. Well...on Monday, I had a Bama co-worker say something across the hall to me about the *U t-shirts or something...I responded back by saying I'd seen on Facebook "Gotta second? Yes, we have a second, third, fourth,...fifteenth!" Apparently, that set off one of the Aubies next door (who hasn't been working with us long enough for *U to have beaten us) because he proceeded to blare out the final call of the game from his phone at full volume. A few minutes later, he yelled something down the hall that I presumed to be directed at me. I couldn't believe how sensitive he was about his team winning. Good grief! Had to laugh!
