May Hate Week Commence

by TennesseeTide on Nov 22, 2009 5:21 PM CST

Any Alabama fan with a functioning brain and a working conscience saves no rancor for Auburn. Regardless of the date. Iron Bowl week or not. Hell, football season or not. There is no respite from the seething in my soul and the fire in my bones that is bred of my deep hatred for them. But as witnesses to The Process, and out of respect for Coach Saban's One Game Season mentality, we dial down the spite. Even as spectators, we have begun to adopt that same mind: Each week is as crucial as the next, no matter who the competition.

However, now that we have cleared all obstacles standing in the way, may our vigor be renewed. Let the hatred flow through you. Spare no expense. Hold nothing back. It is Iron Bowl week. This is the game that we live for. Even with the SEC championship looming, and on the horizon the possibility of seeing the Tide in the BCS National Championship game, this game speaks more to us, viscerally, than any other.

I cannot imagine that I am alone in feeling that the Iron Bowl more defines a season than a conference or, at the risk of heresy, even a national championship.

That said, we have endured 12 weeks of scary moments, frustration, anger, and pure elation to arrive at this point. Allow yourself to hate. Hate without end. It's Iron Bowl time.

Not the one I was thinking of,

but certainly a classic! I remember that one, actually, and laughed all over again!

Auburn and Florida

I’ve had a big dislike for Auburn for as long as I can remember. My best friend in high school signed with them and played for Shug Jordan and Doug Barfield, that didnt change the dislike I had for Auburn. I ridiculed him for making that decision and still do. My wife is as big an Auburn fan as I have ever seen and for six years Ihad to put up with them adding a finger, I did give her the finger a few times…of course she wasnt looking at the time. Even with two people I care about loving Auburn as much as they do I couldnt generate even a little like for Auburn. Now I have acted like I wanted Auburn to win some games but you can bet your sweet ass it was just an act for my wife’s benefit…..well I guess you could say it was for my benefit too. What I am getting at here is as much as I dislike Auburn, if we could just beat the shit out of Tim Teebow and Urban Meyer I could put up with losing to Auburn. I know that isnt likely to happen, losing to Auburn that is, but I cant stand those two queers. I never knew that I could have this much hatred for anyone but those two guys, if you can call them that, make me want to puke. Is that wrong……anyone else feel the way I do????

I'm not fond of the the Timmy and Urban

love affair. But you must remember people in Gainesville are a lot different form the rest of the South. Serioulsy, I would not doubt anything that goes on down on that campus.

And yes, they make we want to puke, either that or punch them in the nose.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

You’re certainly not alone; nearly every barner feels that way. Not saying that you’re a barner mind you, just saying that line of thinking I typically associate with our opponents this weekend.
