They got a big ol’ glass house on the Plains.

By now, I’m sure that most of you have heard the news and seen the rejiggered Fulmer Cup standings.

It’s not so much that I feel a strong need to gloat today; it’s just that recalling this and this gives me some satisfaction in knowing that the Auburn fan base now appreciates the true meaning of the word “thug”.

Plus, this has suddenly dawned on some of them.

    Love the post! I was just telling a friend yesterday that I try not to trash-talk because something can always come back to bite you. So I’m keeping my mouth shut on this one, but I definitely have a big smile on my face. I guess if they were at Tennessee, the victimes would have asked that the players be allowed to stay on the team

  6. Sadly, some of them still don’t get it. Some Auburn jackass was on Twitter yesterday thanking God that they had Gene Chizik as coach, and not someone like Mark Richt, who refuses to kick players off the team for committing crimes. I asked him to remind me again which Georgia player had gotten to stay on the team after committing an armed robbery, but he just ignored me and kept on yakking about how Georgia players are “thugs” and their fans are “inbred retards.”

    I grew up less than an hour from Auburn’s campus and have literally dozens of good friends who went there, so it’s hard for me to lash out at them too viscerally in public, but . . . well, it’s getting a lot easier with each passing day. The NCAA’s hammer is going to drop on them sooner or later for the Cam Newton affair, and if that happens on a weekday, I’ve got no problem with taking a day off work just to drive over to Auburn and do a trolldance on Toomer’s Corner.

      the sun will expand and consume the solar system before the average AU fan will exhibit anything vaguely resembling common sense. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, but as a group, I’ve never seen people less troubled by facts, reason, or reality.

      Therefore, to them, Bo was clearly better than Herschel (ridiculous), AU was clearly the best team in America in 2004 (hardly), Cam didn’t know NOTHING (uh, sure), and exiting an alley on a scooter or getting picked up on a bench warrant for failing to appear in traffic court for a speeding ticket is MUCH WORSE than armed robbery and burglary. Makes perfect sense to your average Barner.

        I have come to realize how really bad the Auburn program/fans are, they are the very worst in the SEC relative to anything regarding ethics/character. Enough bad things could not happen to their program to satisfy me so this incident is enjoyable because it shows the nation what The aU is really like. They have been rotten for decades, this is just something even their police couldn’t sweep away. (I do think the 2004 team was better than USC that year.)

    What these punks did is not a petty crime like DUI or shoplifting either; these guys committed a goddam home invasion armed robbery. That’s the big leagues, son. I’ve seen street gangs go down on federal gun and RICO charges for committing home invasions. These idiots are in a shit-pot of trouble.

    I wonder if Trooper Taylor fist-bumped them afterwards.

    I can take no joy in this. Karma is a bitch so one should always be careful when pointing and snickering at a rival program. I don’t know the law in Alabama but in Georgia using a firearm in the commision of a felony carries a mandatory twenty years. At any rate four young lives are ruined. Sad.

    Aaaaand PJ pops in with another tired, predictable little brain turd non-sequiter. You’re right, Paul, this is all sour grapes from Georgia fans because of Chizik’s title and that our players don’t act like MS-13.

    Let’s recap what happened; 5 Auburn football players broke into a house armed with guns and robbed people. They didn’t get into a fight, they didn’t steal a laptop, and they didn’t drive without a license. They committed armed robbery. Maybe we should talk the UGA linebacker corps into robbing a bank and getting into a shootout with cops like in “Heat”. Asshole.

    I am not sure why anyone would argue with anyone that went to Auburn

    To start off with, they went to Auburn b/c no other college let them in. Seriously, every HS I know sent the universal rejects to AU. There is not a soul in the country outside of AU people who look at Auburn as anything but a redneck, trash-filled school.

    Additionally, there is not a school in this country that defines “little brother” like Auburn. They make it so easy to call them that and I actually hate Alabama. When they win, it is ALWAYS about Bama. When they lose, it MUST be Bama’s fault. I mean, good god, can you douchebags ever at least act like you are another part of the family?

    Lastly, AU runs arguably the most corrupt program in NCAA history. Everyone knows it. AU fans know it. Thus, whenever they call us thuga or whatever, it is their way of letting out their anger at being looked upon (especially with Pay-For-Cam) as a corrupt, cheating team that will soon get pounded by the NCAA

    They won the NC this year yet still, nobody really gives them any national respect nor do they get any if much publicity as a team right now.

    After graduating, I managed a bar in Athens for many years before diving into the corporate world. So, I can say with no little authority that AU’s fans are the worst, bar none. There is no discussion. Ask any bartender and they will answer the same forthwith. They are filth. Now they are acting out farther and farther in hopes that someone, anyone will give them recognition for their tainted accomplishment.

    It is only a matter of time until they get all the attention they can stand.
