Jay Jacobs sounds like a fifteen-year old nerd trying too hard.
In fact, Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs believes the teams’ styles have made the Tigers and Ducks the cool kids on the college football landscape.
“Auburn and Oregon are two of the cool teams right now,” Jacobs said Tuesday on The Paul Finebaum Show. “The kids want to play for us because we’re fun and we’re fast.”
That’s so cool, Auburn. In an oxymoronic way, that is.

Bless his heart.

Wonder what the Ducks think about being Cool with Awbun? Would love to see the Ducks GATA. 🏈

The scoreboard is what is cool Jay.
I’ll agree OU was cool, they were 4th is scoring last year, but Auburn was 27th. Not the same cool neighborhood IMO.
(BTW, we were 8th. Even GSU was ahead of Auburn ins scoring and they never pass!)

Jay Jacobs is emblematic of the ultimate little brother / inferiority complex that permeates the Plains. We’re cool because we say we are. All I have say to him is “34-7” in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicates.
I didn’t hate Auburn like I did our other rivals. Don’t get me wrong. I detested them one week per year, but they were always responsible for taking a lot out of the real enemy (Florida) the week before the WLOCP, so the enemy of my enemy was my friend. That all changed on the Plains in 2010. I don’t hate them like I hate tech and Florida, but I truly detest the Auburn football program now.

Yes, there are a lot of us in that boat regarding Auburn. Before Nick Fairley and his enablers showed up, I viewed Auburn as a rather benign rivalry. Hell, I even rooted for them against most other teams.

It was Fairley and his thuggish, unsportsmanlike behavior, but I can’t imagine Georgia flipping off the NCAA like Auburn did during the $Cam affair.

+1 I felt the same change about Auburn at the very same time. Before that 2010 game and the resulting actions by Auburn fans, I loved the UGA/AU rivalry best. Now I wish they would be totally kicked out of the SEC or CFB. I will definitely pull for Oregon, and anyone else who plays Auburn. I don’t hate GT, they simply aren’t worth the effort to me. Just annoying.

Mac, I want to beat Florida and Auburn most, but I hate losing to tech most of all because of the annoyance. Get with the program. Hate tech early and often. 😉

Don’t worry. Mac hates’em too. He’s just moving his hate loop further west.

In Mac’s view Tech isn’t a big enough threat to Georgia to bother to hate. Too many others like FU and Auburn are front burner. If Tech were to beat the Dawgs two more times in a row I think he would change his mind though.

Auburn represents everything that is wrong with college football. I have despised them since the early 80’s. They are blatant cheaters in sports and their school is a joke academically. There is absolutely nothing to like or find admirable at Auburn.

Let’s not mix apples and oranges here, JC. The Aubies cheat and are lowlifes athletically. Academically they aren’t as good as Georgia but they are still better than a lot of places that have an attitude of superiority (Bama…cough…LSU…cough, cough…Ole Miss) that is not reality based. Let’s just hate Auburn for the crookedness that the school exemplifies and leave it at that.
