Popular Post WFE12 9,191 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I wonder who the coach was. How many parents are lurking this website too I wonder... In my experience our fanbase doesn't differ from most others on social media. Edited January 7, 2022 by WFE12 12 3 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post abw0004 10,125 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just look at the Calzada commitment thread. I never thought I would ever see that many people complaining about someone's commitment to Auburn. 23 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post penguin149 391 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 I used to think UAT, UGA, LSU, etc. fans were rude, obnoxious and unreasonable....AU fans were all great and wonderful people. After hearing some of the a-holes on here and Facebook, I've determined we have more than our fair share! 🤔 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AEAugirl 9,633 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) This is pure 100% BS, and put out by Phillip Marshall no less. It reeks of Gus Malzahn, or something the Nix family has floated out there. Auburn fans are no better nor worse than any other fans in CFB. Hell, go to a Bama message board after they lose and see the stuff they say about their players. Read the things they tweet. Pretty sure they were sending that kicker death threats when he lost the IB. Edited January 7, 2022 by AEAugirl 24 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks need to dial back the overly critical commentary about our players and coaches. The public belittling, insulting and minimizing them doesn’t help sell this program to future recruits and their parents. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post aublue88 145 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 I almost commented on this yesterday when news broke about our new quarterback. As a former college athlete albeit many years ago before social media and also a parent of a recruited college athlete, the vitriol aimed at these young men is ridiculous. These students sacrifice so much time into preparing and practicing whether they play or not. No one purposely plays horribly. Most are giving their maximum effort. Just think before posting if it were your child you were criticizing! It is the job of the coaches to evaluate each player and to assess their abilities and if they fall short in their endeavors they are paid a lot of money for it and are fair game to open criticism, the kids are not in my opinion. I saw a headline on google news this morning that AU fans upset with Calzada commitment. We as Auburn fans can do better! 5 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,328 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) It is part of one of Philip Marshall’s article. Here’s my take on this level of ‘journalism’: All of us have friends and family who are fans and alumni of other schools, especially SEC schools. Know any of them who are joyful, optimistic, and happy most of the time? I have direct access to TexAgs and it is a mirror of our boards. My best friend is an LSU grad and former player and he says the same thing about their boards and fans. Ditto for my friends and family who are UGA, Ole Miss, and Arky fans. As for the anonymous coach, coach better, win more games, and send more guys to the league.That will do more to win over recruits than happy fans. I do wish all of us, myself included were more civil towards each other and our players. But to say that AU fan negativity is more or less than any other fanbase is shallow in my opinion. Addendum: If any parent or recruit does have concerns about our fans, I suggest they come to some SEC home games and sit in the student section at Jordan-Hare.

woodford 3,659 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You are fool or a certified clueless boomer if you believe Twitter or think a majority of humans reflect the opinions of the bird app That is the LAST place anyone should go to get a feel for the fan base. If Georgia loses Monday, there will 100% be idiot Georgia fans on Twitter calling for Kirby to be fired. That tells you what Twitter is all about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they were sending that kicker death threats when he lost the IB. Hard disagree. Seeing Saban rise at Bama and now Kirby rise at UGA has turned this fan base increasingly toxic. Nobody will admit it, but a good percentage of the fan base is jealous of our rivals. That jealousy has brought out some gross behaviors and words. For example, there used to be a hard rule on here about going after players. Now you can’t read a thread without seeing multiple posts tearing down players. Gene Chizik got fired after the worst season in modern Auburn history, and afterwards people were saying how much of an Auburn man he was but that it was time to move on. After Gus was fired and still to this day, there’s a lot of pure hatred for Gus even though he never had a losing season. No idea if it is legitimately hurting recruiting or not. But, even as an Auburn grad, I’ve thought more than once about waking away because of how nasty our fan base has gotten.

I try to live in reality, we could never win multiple titles with Saban here but Auburn has underachieved so much since 2013 it’s honestly pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
