Your RBR Word of the Day: pathetic

pathetic, [puh-thet-ik] - adjective:

1. causing or evoking pity, sympathetic sadness, sorrow, etc.; pitiful.
2. affecting or moving the feelings.
3. pertaining to or caused by the feelings.
4. miserably or contemptibly inadequate.

No longer able to talk about how Auburn is better at football than Alabama, the pathetic rabble over at Track 'em Tigers are now taking pride in their ability to talk about how much their team sucks better than we do.

Oh yes...

… we weren’t posting a lot because we had given up on our team. Definitely.

It couldn’t be that we were swamped with law school work trying to get ready for exams. No. Never.

Ol’ Atlanta Barner has us figured out.

I also find it amusing...

…that they are acting like we quit on our team and they don’t, yet they still couldn’t sell out their (smaller) stadium on a regular basis during the height of the Tuby years while we’ve sold out every game for the past, what, decade? You know, the same horrible decade that they loved so much?

Bingo.

That is the ultimate test. It is utterly amazing that for all the challenges and ridicule dumped on the team over the last decade, there were practically no games that were not sold out. Compare this to Oklahoma football (often compared to UA) where they went a whole DECADE without a SINGLE sellout prior to Stoops getting there. Lets see how AU does the Chizik era.

Auburn has sold out every home game since last week the 2009 Iron Bowl.

Wow

comparing FCS Furman to D-1 ULM. I guess that makes sense… Also find it funny he doesn’t mention the fact that ’Bama was in every game, we never got embarrassed to the extent they have so far this sason (and more yet to come).

Lost every game by 7 points or less...

…he also fails to mention they lost to Mississippi State and South Florida that season as well! In addition, relied on luck and a bogus “roughing the passer” call on an incomplete Brandon Cox pass on 4th down, giving them field position inside the redzone leading to the go ahead touchdown, to beat an Alabama team by the same margin that Louisiana-Monroe did. Thank your lucky stars for Tiffin’s missed field-goal and DJ Hall’s dropped pass, in the endzone, which was intercepted by AU in the process.

Not to mention even during our worst years, they only defeated us by an average of a touchdown or less.

After spending seven wondrous years in the state of Alabama, never in my life have I seen fans, who claim to be loyal to one team, spend more time AUbsessing over the other more so than they do their very own.

DJ Hall's

dropped pass that was interecepted in the endzone was the killer…

sigh

i honestly dont want auburn to fail (in general), except when they play us. i actually kind of felt bad for them during the tuberville fallout because it reminded me of coaching dramas we had to go through when we were down. (tennessee, however, i want to EPIC FAIL. always.) a competitive iron bowl is far more satisfying to win.

but then they have some early success and it seemed like all the auburn fans i know collectively turned into irrational assholes booking hotel rooms in atlanta.

and now that they’re having problems, we are subjected to ridiculous conspiracy theories and articles like this. and their failures just can’t be because they hired a shitty, proven failure of a head coach or that the talent level of their team is pretty much dregs-caliber.

you make me sad, auburn fans. this is just…

well, pathetic.

now i want your team to fail. you earned it.

but then they have some early success and it seemed like all the auburn fans i know collectively turned into irrational assholes booking hotel rooms in atlanta.

There was a lot of pent up frustration with the Tubbs firing-Chizik hire, AD and trustee issues all rolled into one. When they came out and looked impressive in those 5 games, you saw a lot of that emotion get released via their mantra “HA! WE DON’T SUCK AS BAD AS YOU THOUGHT BAMMERS!!!11”

So now that reality has set it, you are seeing the typical symptoms of a fanbase divided. The Chizik/Jay Jacobs/Lowder stuff comes roaring back for one half, and the typical
Barner “collective heads in the sand” comprise the other half. So what you have now is:

- The part of the fanbase that was never really settled on Chizik to begin with, is going to call for his firing when things go bad

- The “collective heads in the sand” bunch are going to stick by their man, make excuses for him and deny deny deny.

Does this sound familiar? It should. That’s because it just happened. It’s called the Tommy Tubberville era. And so the cycly continues. Welcome to The Auburn Family.

Clarence...

…I want Aubarn to fail in every category they could possibly fail in. The more they fail, the less we have to deal with their “HAHAHA ALABAMUR” nonsense.

If they’d worry more about their own measly program, then it wouldn’t be so bad. But the fact that they envy us to the point where they hate us 10x’s more than they love Aubarn is pitiful.

It is satisfying

to watch Auburn fail in every aspect.

I guess when Auburn fans have nothing to talk about, they talk about alabama.

They don't even have their facts straight on an imporant part of their thesis

namely, that the two coaches had comparable recruiting classes. I posted this in a response to the story.

Oh well, they’ll find out soon enough where the comparisons between Saban and Chizik end. They’re setting themselves up for a major letdown if they’re expecting a 12-0 run next season.

by RedElephant on Oct 28, 2009 4:40 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I

don’t think they’re expecting 12-0 next year. I think WEA was trying to demonstrate that a) Bammers must have short memories and b) BASELESS CHEAP SHOT RBR TAKE THIS BAMMERS!!11

I love how it’s always WEA mocking the RBR Sweetheart when he’s the one always posting about Erin Andrews . . . as though it’s okay to post about the EA nekkid video because she’s a sports reporter, but we can’t post anything non-football related or we’re TMZ.

That said, I’m pretty sure what his goal was has something to do with this:

WEA

is nothing but an street corner agenda pusher. Everything he writes insults and mocks the intellegence of TET readers. He is not concerned in the least with producing quality content about his team.
