I can't wait for the calls tomorrow from the Aubies.

Those who follow Auburn prefer to be called part of the Auburn "family," and the clichéd way to refer to members of that Auburn family is to say they have a chip on their shoulder, that they want Auburn to be Alabama when the program grows up. That's wrong. Auburn folks are actually proud of that chip—proud that they're not Alabama. They embrace their uniqueness. I think they even embrace their inferiority.

They can deny it all they want.  Deep down they know it's true.

Finebaum mentioned he will need police protection & I don't think he is exaggerating.
