auwallace 6 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 while driving back to auburn from lake martin today i pulled up to what i consider to be the prototypical bammer in lovely dadeville. While individual aspects of the description i provide are not wholly bammer in and of themself; together they create what us auburn fans deal with day in and day out. Please feel free to object if any of you feel i am being unfair. 1. Lifted pickup truck with "size does matter" sticker (you know the one with the record non-typical whitetail deer antlers) 2. No shirt on 3. camo hat 4. camo beer hugger, which had a busch light in it.......WHILE DRIVING!!!!!! 5. And this brings me to the kicker, a houndstooth hat nestled on the dashboard, oh the bahr would be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinCrimson 61 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't get it. Does it make you feel better to see a poor person in public if he sports the logo? I just don't get it. I'm from Covington County, AL. It's not exactly Mountain Brook's biggest economic rival. We have many fans that obviously tote thin wallets. Many Bama fans in the area are in the same boat. And guess what? Neither one of them know the fight song, when the university was established, the words to the alma mater, or who the current President is. Do I wish they did? Sure. Am I ashamed of them? Certainly not. My point is... don't act like we have the market cornered on the people that you supposedly look down on. I've honestly never noticed any difference between the two sets of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly never noticed any difference between the two sets of fans. 1. i was coming from lake martin after working all day on a job, i am in no way rich, rather i am a graduate student at auburn and trust me there is no way to be rich on what they pay me to GTA. 2. his truck was nicer than mine i was in no way refering to the man's socio-economic status, and i beg to differ on the difference of the two fanbases. Alabama has a wonderful tradition of winning and there is no way to doubt that, don't get me wrong. But that is what brings out the unwashed masses (which you obviously are not a part of). Its the same reason every hillbilly in ohio is a buckeye fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saniflush 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Actually my question to wincrim. is a legitimate one...... Hearing about the houndstooth hat the dash board made me think about it. There is a guy in a electrical van that drives around West Georgia and he has a houndstooth propped up on his dashboard as well. My question is this..... Is this a secret organization that we need to be aware of? or Is this the replacement for the crown incense burners that used to decorate the dash boards?

Or at least that was the way I was taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I know the guy who developed the "Size Matters" logo and stickers. Far from a redneck, he's a successful businessman in the Birmingham area and an avid hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill out. Geez. We'll just have to agree to disagree. And we're not a "bunch of rednecks" any more than your fanbase. And, I kinda like those ratty-ass 1992 Champs t-shirts. They sure as hell beat the wool 1957 sweaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
