That was the old term that we, as in Auburn people, labeled the old Bahr fans with. As soon as the winning stopped they were history. Bammer still has their share. Wear all the garb, talk about championships but can not tell who their fullback was last year. Most Auburn people are lifers. i could care less if you went to auburn or not. it is love for the team. my feelings are we are beginning to act like other fan bases we hate. look at hurts. great player. fun to watch. gave he all and a class guy and yet he loses on game and they trash him and some called him racist names. it is a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I misinterpreted what Friction was saying so I wanted to apologize to stop the arguing. Just not worth it and goes against what I was trying to do in unite the divide. As a friend of yours I do appreciate your honesty. I think you are genuine in all your posts, but I also think at times you should decipher when others don’t mean as well as you. Unfortunately you became guilty by association in this case, but that one poster was doing the very thing that I know you seek out to resolve which is unison . Like I said I actually like differences because you can only learn and grow that way. Sometimes I want to be so right that I can’t see the cloudiness in my judgements. I was definitely wrong for giving Gus another benefit of a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am genuinely asking a question. I really do want to truly try and understand it. Because I do not get it at all. Because you would think after 7 years of groundhog day reliving the same movie over and over again and it ending the same way when we go on the road and lose against a quality team that more and more people would be tired of it. But truly it seems like it is split 50/50 down the middle and I for one am baffled at it. The losses to florida and LSU this year seem to make the people in his corner get even more defensive. The Auburn fan base is in a intense battle with each other way more than we ever are with different fan bases. It’s been an interesting thread. It’s how we treat each other online, not Gus, that splits us and sometimes takes the fun out of this great forum. It doesn’t matter what Gus does if we show each other respect. We aren’t always our best selves from behind a keyboard. Too often, we feel free to “say” things about coaches, players and each other we would not (or should not) say in person. Combine that with passion about the topics (plus, possibly, an adult beverage or 2) and you have a volatile mixture. Criticism (even harsh) of points of view from posters, coaches/coaching, the team’s performance, etc are fair game. Personal attacks, “cute” pet names to make fun of people (Gus is a popular recipient of this) and contempt for other views instead of debate and discussion poison the discourse. I believe we showed our best side...who we really are and can be...in my favorite thread ever, the Demographic Curiosity thread. I wish all threads had that feel of community and friendship.

For the record, I think that previous poster was onto something though. I have no doubt that you do. Thus, why you stepped in to "assist". ...just like I did. Speaking for myself, I jumped into the discussion (to "help") because I feel like I understand where Keesler came from due to the fact that I agree with his sentiments. I have to presume that's why you did too. After all, why would you try and "translate" something you don't understand or agree with? I wouldn't. ...but that's me. You're saying I'm taking you out of context....that you're simply playing interpreter, yet you put plenty of your own stamp to show you were less "interpreting" and more "piggybacking" on sentiments which you clearly agree with and added PLENTY of your own thoughts. ...just like I did. However, I stand by my post & thoughts and you're backtracking, trying to deflect from the thoughts you already put out there because others are calling you on it too. Whether people like him or not (I happen to like him a lot), in my experience at least ABW owns what he says and if he feels misrepresented he will further his explanation and not just blame the reader. And that's okay, you can admit that you don't respect a huge number of (dare I say, a majority) Auburn fans since the lambskin on their wall says "Podunk College" (or no degree to prove their worth to you) instead of "Auburn University". At least we know where we stand with you and we can just move on with that knowledge. If I'm wrong, then I would apologize. However, your posting history suggests otherwise. Anyway, I at least hope that all is well your way, in the real world. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I'm in that world, due to my cancer & the treatment side-effects, I've learned it's really not that big a deal if used "responsibly" as beer commercials like to say.
