If there is a Hall of Fame here, I nominate this post.Auburn. And here's why:
Although Tennessee did everything they could to wreck us, I chalk that up more to Fulmer than to the entire fan base. Maybe I'm naive, but generally speaking Vol fans still to this day (on the whole) speak highly of us and our history. My goodness, even UVB says nice things on his blog.
Auburn blames us for their 1970s probation - you see, Coach Bryant called up the NCAA and got them in trouble and put on probation. He did this because despite the fact he needed no help and had drilled Auburn nearly every time they met, he was jealous and wanted to keep them down lest they become a threat to his monarchy.
Auburn blames us for their 1993 probation - you see, even though Eric Ramsey had a tape collection and incriminated the whole bunch, he was put up to it by Alabama. There is, of course, no evidence of this, but since when does that matter to a Barner? Keep in mind that Ramsey was in the 1986 recruiting class (he was redshirted) at a time when Alabama's record against Auburn since 1971 was 12-3. Obviously, we needed someone on the inside to take down the Barn because they'd been beating us so badly for so long.
Auburn blames us for Cam Newton - you see, even though it was Auburn who paid the guy and MSU who turned them in and even though Auburn skated, it was all Alabama's fault. Nick Saban couldn't stand the fact that he'd only beaten Auburn twice in a row, so he gave Cecil Newton money and blamed it on Auburn.
Auburn blames us for Johnny Manziel - you see, even though we were not involved in any way, it is still our fault.
Seriously - given that record of projection, who would you hate more?
I respect LSU too much to even think about putting them in that group. Auburn by a long shot. I think Fulmer was the biggest reason I hated Tennessee so much.LSU is creeping into that territory.
I used to respect them and they have a strong team, that's it. Their players are always getting in trouble. Their fans are garbage. They still whine about 2011. I don't think they're ever get to that level of dislike but it's not like they don't push the envelop!I respect LSU too much to even think about putting them in that group. Auburn by a long shot.

I hear that. I guess I just like the fact that they're probably the only team that can compete with us year in and year out playing our style of football. Not gonna disagree with you about the rest though.I used to respect them and they have a strong team, that's it. Their players are always getting in trouble. Their fans are garbage.

True, they can compete. I'll give them that much. It stops there though. I guess living close to a lot of Who fans have taken me over the edge a bit.I hear that.

No who fans around here. Just Alabama and Auburn pretty much. The barners are pretty quiet lol.True, they can compete. I'll give them that much. It stops there though. I guess living close to a lot of Who fans have taken me over the edge a bit.
And I TOTALLY disagree...we beat them for so many years pre-Shula and in BR every other year consecutively that who fans have ALWAYS hated Bama, ever since Cholly Mac (and maybe before). The arrival of CNS just made it white-hot, but it was always there, and intense; I saw it, firsthand, going back to 1971. It will still be there when CNS leaves.LSU hates us right now because of Saban. Once he retires, that will die down. Not sure why they are so upset about it, never heard Florida fans complain about South Carolina.
...replacing the HUH? offense from last year...Also, the HUNH offense is back at auburn,...
Hahahahahaha.......replacing the HUH? offense from last year...![]()
Say what?!? Wow, you need to go a lil bit deeper!I don't have a hatred for either team. I don't know if I just haven't been a fan long enough (since 2010) or I'm just not educated enough. I've read back through history between our three schools, and even after that the only team I hate is lsu.
that's MR.NOTE ii, you
It would be interesting to have this in two polls split by age 50.
To truly understand the hatred between us & auburn..You have live among them your entire life to get an inclination of the rivary & hatred between us..It's a hatred that's ongoing 365 days a year, the hatred never sleeps or dies, you have to live it, to truly understand it..JMHOI don't have a hatred for either team.
