How sensitive is each SEC fanbase?
I actually like Auburn as a whole. And if you are from Alabama, getting into Auburn is far more impressive than getting into Alabama.
But Auburn has this little brother syndrome compared to Alabama. Even when they have coaches who are the only coaches in the nation capable of beating Bama with any consistency, they run them off.
My aunt is a proud alum of Auburn. She was in the band and her entire wardrobe consists of blue and orange. I’ve sat with her during an Auburn game. Let’s just say trying to suggest that Auburn might not be as good as they think they are isn’t the best idea in those moments.
Plus, the fanbase had a meltdown over a tree dying.
Sure the tree had been around since the dawn of time.
