Well, last year's 12-0 and 36-0 beatdown sowed the seeds for that old hatred to come back again. I mean, let's get real: they, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, everyone, loved it when the NCAA hammered us. They saw it as the ultimate takedown of their most hated enemy. For proud Bama fans, it certainly was and continued to be humbling.
Finally, UA got it right and decided that they needed a real driver for a Formula 1 sports car. So they hired Saban, and the hand wringing in the butt-crack we call Lee County began. Last year's beatdown was HUMILIATING. Hiring Chizik was not the ego boost the Auburn folks wanted, though I like the guy and think he might build them back really quick. In fact, I think we are going to have to play very well to beat them in a couple weeks.
But this years' 9-0 start, likely to be 11-0 by the time we get to them is the icing on the cake. It now appears we are not only dominant, but in line to add to our trophy case. This is DEVASTATING for Auburn and their fair weather fans.
Don't think they are fair weather, at least a whole bunch of them? Well, then let's just say the Old Car Flag Thief has been working hard on some orange and blue this season and last in the Birmingham area.
