Plaric 4 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I thought that Auburn fans were always obsessed with Bama and that Bama fans were obsessed with Auburn (you do see a lot of post regarding each on the respective boards.) But after visiting the tigernet boards (clemson forums) every post in their football section (ok not every but at least 80%) has to do with them complaining, hating, or trash talking about those damn "coots" (South Carolina fans and team and coach).....The way they hate on them, you would never know that they have a winning record against USCe. It is sad that instead of taking pleasure in talking about their football team they spend the entire time talking about USCe.

Barney 10 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Same with Mizzou basketball fans, all they do is talk about KU. They are about as bad as I've seen in college sports. You'll find it in any rivalry. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122110-obsessed-with-other-teams/#findComment-1580421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
au4lyfe 0 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It's just the internet. Behavior like that comes with the anonymity the internet offers. When you get like-minded people in one place online, with hardly any combative opinions (like a forum dedicated to a particular sports team), the behavior just becomes more pronounced.

Yep, sort of like an online groupthink. Let's get back talking about those downright dirty Bammers... I kid. I kid.

WarEagleNic 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yea, I've browsed around several boards after reading this and a bunch of them have threads about their rivals. Just makes you wonder how many "quality" topics could be discussed if so much time wasn't spent complaining about another school lol. I've got teams that I can't stand *ahem* Bama, but I'll be danged if I feel the need to go on and on complaining about them or their program. I'd rather talk about AU than any other school out there.

bird36 5 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It is half the fun of college football. Let us enjoy ourselves, and let the turds enjoy themselves. I feel bad for the teams who have to manufacture a rival. Really, who is LSU's, UGA or Arkansas's rival it changes every year based on how records pan out. The real reason UT fans are so upset TAMU is going to the SEC is because it removes the rival.

Rabern57 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 AU and UA fans being obsessed with what the other is doing is the exact reason its the biggest rivalry in sports. Otherwise you would hardly ever hear about it and people wouldn't be talking about it constantly.

Plaric 4 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 we spend a good amount of time talking auburn related items though. Over on tigernet literally 95% of the threads are them hating on the coots for some reason Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122110-obsessed-with-other-teams/#findComment-1580962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gAUlf 1 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I can kind of see where Clemson is coming from. They have an overall better program than USC. More wins, titles and own the overall series. And they just won their conference. But like it is here and with any other state when the "University of ...." has a good year they are going to receive all the attention from the state media. And as bad as Clemson may be with their obsession of USC, they still don't compare to Texas A&M and their inferiority of Texas.

HardcoreAU79 0 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 To the Ga types I know , their most heated and # 1 rival is the Gators. The ones I know, consider us their second rival after UF. Ga Tech is more of a nuisance or so I am told. LSU's probably is uaT. Arky's is with reality .

Guest jrljr Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I Hate UGA!!! Just as much as the Turds. Grew up having to hear about "Hurshell" and "Silver Britches" and some of these fools had 1980 NC liscense plates on their cars for 10-12 years. UGGHH!!!!
