"This Auburn Team Is Special"
It's Sanford Stadium, not "Samford Stadium."
He's A.J. Green, not "A.J. Greene." (A.J. Greene is, in fact, an Auburn player.)
The "Dawg" in paragraph three and the "favorite" in paragraph five should have been plural, not singular.
Evidently, the Auburn Tigers are "special" only in the sense of the Olympics in which they compete.
I hate Auburn.

My favorite quotes
Saturday’s loss hurt. In some small way that’s progress.
I feel certain that Kyle could not agree more with the assertion that Auburn consistently losing to Georgia is progress, indeed.
Last season’s losses brought anger. This year they bring hope
Now, remind me… Is the author of this post an Auburn fan or a Tennessee fan?
Chizik was the right hire and he’s my coach.
These gentlemen agree with that statement:

I thought of Tenn and moral victories as well
Very glad we here at dawg sports don’t consider our losses (with one close against LSU) moral victories and sum up our season with a “we suck”. Apparently Auburn doesn’t realize they lost to a very bad UGA, meaning they REALLY suck.

O.M.G ...!
Everyone already stole my lines! I was laughing so hard thinking of Tenneesee by the time I was finished reading this article that I almost choked on my sandwich. What a joke! I certainly never expected to hear about losing to Georgia this year as a “moral” victory. God, I hope we finish strong. A win over Kentucky puts us at one more SEC loss than we had in each of the last two seasons — that includes the #2 AP finish in ‘07. Until we’ve had a losing season as both Tennessee and Auburn have done recently, I think we’re still “reloading.” Go Dawgs !!!

Having reread that crappy article again
I am a lot more happy UGA won. I reckon if Auburn beat UGA they would be talking about a NC next year. Luckily, Alabama is going to put them in their place and take out about 13 years worth of POd on them. I imagine Ingram will have over 200 yards. "The Chris Todd story is one of the best in college football this year.‘? What the hell? He’s horrible. Nothing personal but winning a start doesnt make you a top story in college football, if that was the case, then we would have 119 teams times 22 players worth of best stories.
Thanks Kyle, although I am on the very pessimistic side of the fence with this game, this definately makes me feel better.

By stating this you are actually admitting you watch Lifetime movies. There is absolutely no place for this on a college football blog.

Yeah!
Man, what are those Auburn fans thinking, being happy with a two-game improvement on their previous apocatastrophe of a season, showing respect and love for players who have given their all but just came up a bit short this week, and generally acting like there’s more to football than setting things on fire over a last-minute road defeat to a vastly more talented team? What a bunch of embarrassments!
By which I mean the trolls in this thread. Kyle, that these are responses you’ve gotten should tell you a lot about whether it’s worth your time bagging on typos and hauling out ye olde “Special Olympics” cracks. I know it’s kind of your thing when it comes to Auburn, but correcting another blogger’s grammar not in the service of refuting his point but just to point-and-snicker is low, petty schoolyard stuff.
by JCCW Jerry on Nov 16, 2009 4:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I'm cool with that
It’s a low, petty schoolyard rivalry. That’s what makes it fun.
When the Auburn band develops the good manners to quit playing over alumni introductions, scoreboard videos, and the home team’s band, and when Auburn fans quit making destruction of state property an integral part of their tradition when claiming a road win in Sanford Stadium, I’ll start playing nice. Until then, I’ll give as good as I get. (For “low, petty schoolyard stuff,” you can’t get much lower or more petty than the comments left by Auburn fans here.)
By the way . . . calling it “Samford Stadium” once is a typo. Calling it “Samford Stadium” twice is a display of ignorance. I hate Auburn, but I know who Shug Jordan was, I know who Cliff Hare was, and I know the name of the stadium on the Plains in which the Bulldogs have a winning record.
You’re good people, Jerry, but a handful of good apples doesn’t redeem a rotten bunch.

"vastly more talented team"?
What’s with this sandbagging your War Tigers with being “vastly” less talented than UGA? Certainly you saw us play coverage, right?
Don’t discredit your team because it makes you feel better. Tate and Fannin, inter alia, are honest studs.
Stow the david v. goliath narrative. If you won (and you almost did), you wouldn’t be here telling us how vastly talented UGA is and how it took a miracle for Auburn to win. Auburn could have won that game, and didn’t. It hurts. We know.
Alternatively, continue to relish in some imagined weakness. Don’t learn from defeat. That suits me just fine.

So, how many players does Georgia currently have on scholarship?
We’ve got 76 IIRC, counting the recently scholarshipped walk-on holder. Total number of healthy scholarship linebackers at the end of the game the other night + healthy scholarship corners = 6, or I’m guessing fewer guys than you have at safety alone.
Believe me: I wish our weaknesses were imagined.

No dice
Don’t get me wrong – I’m glad you’re here and I want to engage in debate, not name-calling. I’ll also gladly concede that UGA’s recruiting classes have been ranked higher than Auburn’ for a while.
That said, I stand by my point all the more after you try to refute it. Don’t tell a UGA fan about injuries after last year. Don’t come counting warm bodied after you’re original post was about talent, not numbers. Did your corners play badly? Would having four more linebackers or cornerbacks have made a difference, even if they were no good?
Sure, Auburn isn’t great. Neither is UGA. All of us around here were nervous about Saturday’s game – and we should have been. For you to come around now and say that Auburn really isn’t all that good is to insult a well-won victory. When Rambo broke up the pass to Fannin at the 1 at the end of the game, was he just toying with a vastly inferior opponent?
So you can direct me to the part of your original post about the number of scholarship players on the roster, or you enlighten me as to how UGA won by relying on its vast reserves of skill (that have come up short 4 times already this year, and nearly 7 times), or you can own the fact that one team made the plays and got the bounces when it counted. If the wins count, the losses have to count as well.
Calling your team the Washington Generals is an insult not only to yourself but to UGA. I’ll stand by that.

You've got it ass-backwards
Trust me, I don’t think of this year’s Auburn as the Washington Generals. I’ve spent most of the year clamoring that wins over decent teams like Tennessee, Ole Miss, and WVU mean Auburn’s better than people think. But that’s because they’re well-coached (yes) and bust their ass week-in and week-out, not because they’re particularly talented. As for Georgia, I’m not taking a thing away from them—I said multiple times last week the Dawgs were underrated thanks to snowjob at the end of LSU game and plain catching both UT and UF at the wrong time.
The point I was trying to make was in response to the cave dwellers higher up the thread who seem to think that a close road loss to a “very bad UGA” (why aren’t you responding to them, huh?) is something Auburn should be ashamed of. I think the opposite—you guys have a heck of a team that frankly (no one’s going to disagree with me on this, are they?) has been poorly coached for most of this season, especially on defense. Yes, Georgia is a vastly more talented team—you admit that Auburn hasn’t recruited nearly as well and our roster issues are hardly a secret. So we’ve got a lot fewer players than you and the ones we have aren’t as physically gifted—how does that not equal less talented? Auburn has better running backs, maaaaaaaybe slightly better TEs/WRs once Green came out, but that’s it—the QBs are a draw at best on raw talent, while the Dawgs have clear advantages in talent, experience, and depth on both lines, the linebackers, and even the secondary once Martinez finally decided to give Rambo the start.
So, yeah, even if I wish they could have done just a little bit better, forgive me if I think it’s an accomplishment our bunch managed to come as close to your bunch as they did. I’m damn proud of them, and I don’t much care for the troglodytes Kyle’s post predictably brought out of the woodwork to have a laugh at another Auburn fan who feels the same way.

sorry JCCW
I am still on the open planes, havent evolved to the caves yet.
Maybe check your personal attacks. I think Uga is a very bad team. As posted we are damn lucky not to have 2 or 3 more losses. I dont have to give any credit to a “moral victory”. There may have been signs of improvement, and I will credit you that if that is what you see, but I get the distinct feeling Auburn, like Tenn, would have given a win far more credit than really deserved.
We lost to LSU because they outplayed and out coached us. We lost to OSU because they outplayed and outcoached us.

Still no dice
I think UGA is pretty bad, and I think Auburn is, too. I think we’re pretty close to the same bad, as you seem to concede. According to your most recent post, you’ve got better coaching, better RB’s, better WR/TE’s, and a push at QB. I think UGA’s got clearly better D lineman, and probably wins at DB by default (aka, we may be less horribly bad, but we’re both so far away from good that the slight distance between the points doesn’t register). I don’t see a world of difference at linebacker or O line.
Your insistence that UGA should have won this one going away just don’t float.
So, like I said, keep refusing to learn from defeat. Get content with losing. See how that helps the program.
We lose to Florida pretty much every year. I am proud if the team plays well in defeat, but only in the sense that a spartan wife demanded that her husband come back with his shield or on it. If we lose, it sucks. Good programs don’t lose, and we won’t be good until we win. Trying and losing is better than throwing in the towel, but both suck. On the day that losing but trying hard becomes okay, the rivalry is dead.

Auburn band
I’m glad you mentioned that. Auburn’s band is very, very good, but that have terrible manners — the worst in the SEC, as a matter of fact, when it comes to playing over the home team’s announcements and presentations.

What does any of that have to do with Jay?
So you don’t like Auburn’s band playing at moments you think it’s rude. OK. You don’t like—really don’t like—the hedge-clipping. Fair enough.
But if you’re angry about that stuff, write about that stuff. I don’t see why those things suddenly make Jay’s grammar or typos—or even his alleged ignorance of what your stadium is called—fair game for your abuse. If Jay had been in that thread you linked or had taken some kind of potshot at you lately, sure, go nuts—but he hasn’t, has he? I agree that there’s a place for taunting a rival fan not for the things he or she says but solely for the school he attends, and that place is the AJC or al.com comment threads. I’m sure there’s plenty of Tech fans there right now who’d give you all the typos to correct you’d ever want.
As for Samford/Sanford, remember that the iconic building at the front of Auburn’s campus is Samford Hall, that the largest Baptist university in Alabama is named Samford, and that Samford is a fairly common last name in Alabama in my experience. I can’t speak for Jay, but “Samford” comes to mind much, much more easily than “Sanford” and I’ve had to correct myself more than once when referring to your stadium. You could view it an honest mistake. Or, I guess, you could compare him to people with physical and mental disabilities. Either way.

Oh, come on, Jay and Jerry
It was the sort of fun-poking that goes on all the time, and it wasn’t remotely as vicious as some of the stuff that went on in the comment thread linked to above . . . but, before you decide to lecture me on class, Jay, you may want to go back and revisit that exchange.
When your commenters were coming over here and going out of their way to show their asses (while bragging about it at Track ‘Em Tigers in "wait’ll they get a load of me" style), I kept waiting for you to step in and at least say, “Come on, guys, let’s keep it under control.” I do that sort of thing when necessary, although I rarely find it necessary.
Instead, you sat by and did nothing while it unfolded before finally breaking radio silence to say this: “I love it… You guys are killing me… This is what makes this rivalry great… It has been one hell of a read on both sites… Continue on… This is better than going to Movie Gallery.”
After letting your trash run wild all over my blog and giving it your stamp of approval, and after crediting me with boosting your site traffic, you want to tell me how much I lack class over a couple of jokes? Really?!?! You think my jabs were beyond the pale but you also think the way your guys behaved was in bounds? There’s some serious cognitive dissonance going on there, my friend.
I’m not going to lie to you and say I wasn’t disappointed in the way you handled the situation last year, Jay, but, despite that, I think you’re basically a good guy. Although my experience with Auburn fans leads me to believe that the jackass-to-nice-guy ratio runs at least a dozen to one (and that may be generous), I think you’re generally in the decent minority, but, yeah, I’m going to have my fun with Auburn fans with they get basic facts wrong.

by JCCW Jerry on Nov 16, 2009 9:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I have no way of knowing that, Jerry . . .
. . . because the kind of needling I get from Auburn fans reads like this:
So Neidermeyer blows a gasket over some shrubbery. I’m first taken aback by his ferocity over something so innane, so I relent a little. He then proceeds to keep hounding on it, like a Mormon missionary with an Amway franchise. I don’t back down, and he does like any mutt would do and goes whimpering behind his blog. If you can’t beat ‘em, have them banned. Every one gets their lunch eaten occasionally while commenting on blogs, but not everyone gets to silence their critics. That’s something I vow never to do here on TET. Assuming someone ever takes my lunch money first, that is…
So be sure to visit our fine friends over at Dawg Sports. And while I would never use my position here to encourage anyone to be rude or anything other than Auburnly, I probably won’t mind if you pick the hedges.
I cite that passage not to criticize War Eagle Atlanta—-after our initial tiff, he and I have actually gotten to be on pretty good terms—-but that’s what I have to put up with from the other side. You’ll have to excuse me if I think a little ribbing in return isn’t too out of line.

After that, quite frankly, he has no business criticizing my class, particularly after all I did was make a joke. To paraphrase Mick Jagger, if y’all can’t take a joke, that’s too bad.

I’ve had Georgia fans come over to TET all day and drop the F-word, but I didn’t blame you. I simply deleted the comments. There are more than a few Georgia fans who are morons. The same goes for Auburn and every other school. But I don’t hold it against the entire Georgia fanbase like you apparently do with Auburn.
I dislike Georgia as much as any Auburn fan. But I do respect the school and its fans. And just because I want to beat them on the field doesn’t mean I hate them. Hate is a strong word when it comes to football – especially when you are talking about a bunch of 18-22 year old kids. I’m sorry you’ve developed a hate for Auburn that leads you to attack someone personally who earlier in the week was giving you props. If you want to explain it away to some comments made by fans a year ago then go ahead.
If it bothered you that much you should have called or dropped me a note. I would have gladly removed anything you found offensive. I would never attack you personally. I’m sorry the Auburn band or whatever upset you Saturday. I’m not in the band, and frankly could care less about either school’s band.
The Auburn – Georgia rivalry is one of the best. Some of my best friends are Georgia graduates. Frankly, I was taken back by your personal attack. I don’t think you would want me to get a red pen out on your site. Believe me, there are plenty of errors. But if attacking me makes you feel better, than so be it. I’m not the one that looks foolish tonight.

There's a difference, and you know it
Those guys were coming here from your site; read the comment threads on both blogs and it’s very clear they were getting stirred up over there and coming over here. I don’t blame every obnoxious Auburn fan I’ve ever met on you, but those guys were your guys . . . and, after I apologized for the part I played in it (and lifted the ban on one of your co-authors and one of your commenters), your response was to talk about how entertaining it all was. After that, you call benign needling a “personal attack,” tell me I look “foolish,” and condescendingly tell me, “Kyle, I thought you were better than this”? Please.
I don’t believe I’ve ever expressed any personal contempt for any 18-to-22-year-olds. In prior postings and comments, I have remarked on how appropriate it is that we observed a moment of silence in honor of the member of the Auburn band who tragically was killed in a car wreck last week and expressed my sorrow over the (thankfully erroneous) reports that family members of an Auburn player’s were killed in Hurricane Katrina. The only Auburn player I can recall openly criticizing was Junior Rosecrans after a particularly dirty hit on Reggie Brown. Go back and read the postgame report I wrote on Sunday; I don’t think I was anything but complimentary towards the Tigers. I keep it as institutional as Auburn fans will let me.
As for there being “plenty of errors” here at Dawg Sports, feel free to point them out to me. While I am far from perfect, and while more mistakes get through than I would like, I believe I pretty consistently get the basics correct. In any case, it was a pretty innocuous joke following a stirring victory over our biggest rival. It didn’t warrant anything like that response.

And really, can we stop hearing about how selfless Kodi Burns is? He stayed for his senior year despite failing to perform well enough to keep his job, and he gave a speech to his teammates about how they should be a team. This isn’t Lifetime movie fodder, just awfully routine stuff.

Seeing your biggest rival continue to get better and better and better..all the while watching your own team continue their downward spiral. At this point they are just waiting for the crash and then burn….the very long burn.
The evidence of this is in the post it self. They are reaching so far to find some sort of positive, that they actually believe crap like this..
Auburn turned in what may be its best effort of the year in Saturday’s 31-24 loss to rival Georgia.
Really…i mean really? No offense to UGA, but you guys havent exactly had the best season. So losing to a down UGA team is ok…as long as your players put forth effort?? My god how low has Au really gone…
So again Kyle, shrug off the butt hurt AU fans…they are going into a deep depression and are lashing out at everyone…its best to just ignore and move on…

No offense taken here bammer
that was exactly my point – and also why I thought that article was ridiculous. UGA isnt that good, and therefore an article talking about a loss to a team that isnt that good as proof of an upswing made no sense at all. And heck, the article started with saying Chris Todd had a story book season. Again, the kid maybe a great kid, but just like Joe Cox, while we think he is a great kid, no one hear is talking about him having a storied season. If Todd could throw, UGA would have lost.

Seriously?
You called it the “gayest post ever” and called me “a douchebag,” and you’re asking that question?
Constructive criticisms are fine. Spirited back and forth is welcome and is met in the spirit in which it is intended. When an interloper with a prior history of stepping outside the lines adds nothing to the discussion, calls me a douchebag, and hurls a homophobic epithet at something I wrote, yeah, I hit the delete button.
Please note that you were not banned or in any way restricted in your ability to post. It was a measured and reasonable response to an inappropriate animadversion.

Thanks for the explanation
The douchebag comment may have been a bit much.
“Gay” is not a homophobic term, BTW. It’s only negative if that’s how you take it. I could’ve meant gay in the ole’ timey way or in the two dudes getting it on way, but I never said there was anything wrong with that.
MTW, I’m not the one who brought up the Special Olympics, that was you.
