I really appreciate Mr Sims' belief that Jeremy Johnson would be playing like he did against Arkansas if it weren't for him reading his own press.
This is the mickey mouse bullshit that makes me rage. I personally do not want him to ever see the field again and would be thrilled for Auburn to have a new QB on Saturday. I absolutely think writing a nonsensical essay invoking the creed is idiotic and unnecessary. I would hate to know that Mr. Johnson spent time reading that letter considering that he currently cannot read a defense. I hope I regret making this post and he never loses a game, but his Heisman worthy comeback win versus mighty Jacksonville State makes me think that he will continue to be terrible.
I'm just imagining Andrew Sims's wife telling him to come to dinner, him telling her he's writing an open letter of encouragement to Jeremy Johnson, and her telling him to take his time because that's what a true Auburn man should be doing in a trying time such as this.
And later they have missionary style sex but only because they're trying, otherwise it would be sinful.
But only after some serious discussions with their pastor to determine if they were ready. Determining that you are ready to share your love for Jesus Christ and Auburn University is not a decision you make lightly.
It really never gets old. The Auburn cult is a radical, passionate, and to be honest downright impressive feat of social engineering I don't think any of us really fully grasp. Well, maybe Where Eagles Dare
You calling him "Mr. Johnson" is a little weird it self....I think it's to add to your post style but if not...
Trappist had this in the Iron Bowl thread, but has this gem from the Bunker ever been posted in one of the Bunker threads? Mind you, this was after a game in which Auburn lost back in 2009 and could be one of the all time great displays of LBS. It was a low key day. Alabama was supposed to dismantle Auburn. Their Heisman candidate had a national stage to take center spotlight. But something unexpected happened. Our tailgate was a fun morning. We hosted many Bama friends who came by. The food was fabulour, the music was toe tapping, and the weather was perfect. We went to our traditional “Tiger Walk” and cheered the team and coaches into the stadium – like gladiators inot their arena knowing a hungry, undefeated opponent was on the other side pacing and suiting up for a David and Goliath moment. But something unexpected happened. The sea of orange filled the sun-kissed stadium. Every seat was filled. Our Eagle, Tiger, flew around the tops of our heads and landed midfield. The teams entered to thunderous applause, fanfare and frenzied fans. Bama fans wore stickers that said “Fear the shutout.” But something unexpected happened. Auburn, fueled by the fans and faith of spirit with hard work, threw everything they had at Alabama. And for 56 minutes Auburn prevailed. The score, the stats, the noise, the pride; for 56 minutes we owned it. But something unexpected happened.n Alabama put together a successful last minute drive and scored the go ahead points. The TV announcers loved the battle for ratings. No one in the stadium moved. But something unexpected happened. The Alabama fans stayed and “sabaned” their victory. Their band played. Their victory ended a perfect scheduled season. But something unexpected happened. What possibly could be wrong? The Bama fans had suffered, sweated, cursed, paced and prayed for 56 torturous minutes and their team finally pulled it out and won. But what they saw next was not suppose to happen … either. The Auburn Family stayed. They were supposed to flee in defeat but alas the opposite happened. We stayed in our seats and waited for our team to walk off the field. 80,000 family members escorted them off with thunderous applause and chants of “It’s great to be an Auburn Tiger!” The recruits stayed and watched this family of ours lift up our team who served up a whole humble pie to #2 Bama. It reminded me of the scene in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” when the Who’s in Whoville gathered after their presents and decorations were missing but lifted their voices loudly anyway to lift up their gratitude and celebrations. For us it was about thankfulness, honor and family. For 56 minute we were fans, but as our team walked off the field for a few minutes we were all one family. It was a great feeling and we had not even won the game … on the scoreboard. We walked out of the stadium chanting AU cheers down the ramps. Alabama fans quiet and shocked. Their Heisman candidate was disposed of. Their defense was embarrassed. Their haughtiness was silent. I have not mentioned the crudeness and ugliness that I witnessed or was a part of from Alabama fans prior and during the game. Their reputation for being rude fans lived on – not pulling for their team and being good fans but being jerks to others – even to children. However, after the game they were silent. Eerily quiet. One would have thought they lost the game. The lack of cries of “Roll Tide” was noticeably absent. But something happened. Auburn continued to make us proud, played their hearts out, made idiots of the sports announcers who proclaimed earlier this was a waste to play, and silenced the visiting fans. Yes, something happened. Auburn won everything but the scoreboard. This was not supposed to happen! Alabama was not supposed to allow this!! It was just Auburn for goodness sakes, right? Wrong. Not a perfect day but an AUsome day. And with already picking up some of the top recruits in the nation, a new coaching staff that have eyes of the tiger, and an AU Family ready to support them all, we only have one question – when does the 2010 season start? I CAN’T WAIT!!!
And if you want to hear some of the greatest whining/conspiracy theory from an official radio broadcast, here you go. Complete with inaccuracies, total hysteria, and acting like Will Muschamp doesn't go beyond what any other coach does when going after officials.
Oh, I know. But to think that the two people acting like that in that video are not Bunker posters, but instead alleged professionals hired to represent the University in official broadcasts is unbelievably embarrassing.
No denying that...I tell myself that the majority of the embarrassing behavior is a result of our older generations of fans
Some random old ass auburn fan came up to my family when we were walking out of the game and just wanted to vent to some strangers for whatever reason. He was complaining about how Auburn's class act coaches would have kneeled the ball on 4th down with only seconds left giving the ball back to the other team instead of allowing Derrick Henry to score. I would be furious if we did that.

Phillip Marshall is writing soothing words for the masses. Don't worry guys, next year is better just because Gus never has two bad offensive years in a row! "Is it time for calm? Is it time for Auburn folks still stinging from a football season gone bad to take a deep breath? Could it be that things aren’t as bad as they seem to so many? Could the future actually hold promise more than doom? Five-star defensive lineman Marlon Davidson of Greenville High School must not think Auburn football is a lost cause. He could have signed almost anywhere, but he’ll play for Auburn. Dynamic junior college quarterback John Franklin III chose Auburn, too. Yet another major recruiting coup could be coming today. No, this is not a recruiting column. I’ll leave that to our own Keith Niebuhr, who does it better than anybody. This is an attempt to take an honest look at where Auburn football is, at what a 6-6 season means. And the more I look, the less reason I see for panic. Does Auburn have holes to fill? No doubt. Filling some of them – linebacker, for example – will be challenging. Someone absolutely must step forward at quarterback. But there are lots of talented players in the Auburn football program. Lots of them.. The quarterback issues that have plagued this season – Jeremy Johnson’s struggles and Sean White’s injury – have led to maybe the worst offensive showing of Gus Malzahn’s time as a head coach or an offensive coordinator. And there just isn’t any reason, based on Malzahn’s history, to expect that to repeat itself. Malzahn still has to hire a defensive coordinator, which he will do. He still needs to take a hard look at the inner workings of his program. He still needs to have more trust for more people. I’m not here to say there are no issues. But I don’t see a program in crash mode. I see a program that, with just a few things going right, can bounce back hard next season. Of course, this season isn’t over yet. There is a game still to play against Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl. A win would be nice for Auburn players, especially the seniors who are two years removed from helping win an SEC championship. A loss would be, well, irritating for Auburn folks everywhere. Either way, the Birmingham Bowl won’t set the future course of Auburn football. This Auburn team never did back down, never did stop playing hard and was in the fight in game after game, including the last one against Alabama. It’s not far from there to success. Can Auburn make that jump next season? Nobody knows, of course. But there certainly is reason to believe better days are ahead."

It does not mean that we do not want to win and will not work hard to win. It means that we will NOT stoop to do the illegal and wrong things that Coach Bryant used to do and Coach Saban are doing to win.
"They're having another great year on paper, but why do you give a damn? The entirety of how they have landed here is based upon benefits given to players that far exceed anything other schools do to get players, along with their earlier road under Bryant being paved with much of the same brick, bending the rules at every turn. One school might shell out some money for 1-2 players with minimal contributions throughout the season. Bama shells out money, chargers, and escalades for their entire signing class every year. Not to mention the constant deer antler spraying, juicing, and bending the rules at every corner. Stop acting like they deserve the success they have. Stop acting like other teams did anything wrong to be in the position they're in when they have to play a semi-pro team and get blown out of the stadium, or have ten blown holding calls against them in one game. Stop acting like they are anything other than the cheating, low scum of the earth that they are. If I have to see one more person on this board go off on a tangent about "you have to respect the success that they've had", or "you can't deny what they've done," I'm going to facking scream. Stop being guilted into some false sense of sportsmanship that you have to be nice about what they do, have done, and will continue to do. They are nothing more than the embodiment of all things corrupt and wrong with college athletics, and to say otherwise is treason against humanity. /endrant." 1 Jthedestroya

May be able to do a Bunker v Gator Country thread. I mean, The Bunk would still win, but it would be competitive.
Don't forget the #Gashening reference. Only ten blown holding calls and Auburn out-hearts a semi-pro team.
