Auburn Fans Confirm That We Have Stereotypes for a Reason
A friend of mine e-mailed this to me, and I couldn't resist sharing it:
What would you expect from a group of people that ran off Tommy Tuberville so they could hire Gene Chizik?

I simply refuse to believe that picture isn't photoshopped.

You should meet more Auburn fans, then
Seriously, I once took a cell phone camera picture in a parking garage (it was too dark to turn out well, unfortunately) of an SUV backed into a space above which there was a stenciled sign in all-caps reading “DO NOT BACK IN,” and, on the front of the SUV, there was an Auburn tag.
Not all Auburn fans are idiots (as evidenced below by JCCW Jerry, who is a fine fellow, a talented writer, and the author of the exceptional “SEC Teams as ‘Arrested Development’ Characters,” which absolutely ended the “league teams as something else” genre in the way that “When Harry Met Sally” ended the romantic comedy genre or the Rolling Stones’ Emotional Rescue ended disco), but the Auburn fan base has a high bozo quotient, even by SEC standards, which is saying something.
By the way, nice signature line. Mind if I steal it?
Go 'Dawgs!
Thanks
for the kind words. And as someone who considers the “Sideshow Bob steps on rakes for 90 seconds” scene pretty much the apex of comedy, I was (mostly) serious about the lack of the kids-out-of-order pick. Running gags = win.
Besides . . .
. . . a lack of authenticity didn’t stop Georgia’s rivals from making a big deal out of this bogus Facebook posting, which caused the Georgia athletic association to follow up with Facebook in an effort to determine the actual culprit, so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I didn’t photoshop it and the person who sent it to me isn’t a photoshopper. Since I’m not posting it as a hard news story, but as a means for mocking our rivals, I consider it fair game.
Go 'Dawgs!
The truck and boat trailer may not be...
…but the Auburn sticker is. My father-in-law got this exact same picture e-mailed to him, but the truck had a large orange ‘T’ in the rear window instead.
On the other hand, it could be that Kyle got ahold of the original here, and some enterprising, Vol-hating Photoshopper altered it.
I'm disappointed, Kyle
Where’s the picture of the Auburn kids standing out of order? Your streak of 1,279 consecutive Auburn-related posts that included it has finally been broken.
Actually Jerry . . .
I’m pretty certain that there are really 1279 different pictures of those same kids taken at different games. It’s funny not just because they can’t spell, but because they were all freshmen when Reality Bites was new in theaters and they’re still trying to figure out who’s supposed to stand between Joe Dan and Jim Earl.
I'll step up to the plate and keep the streak going

(Kyle hates Abuurn Auburn.)

Wow.
There are a handful of ways this could have happened, I suppose. And all of them had to involve some kind of complete lack of good sense.
I wonder how many of this guy’s trucks are at the bottom of Lake Martin?
For the record ...
I received this photo via email sometime last week, and there was no sticker at all in the rear window. Still funny, though!
To make it fair...
…an ABUURN fan can always come along and photoshop in a little sign there on the pier that clearly states – PLEASE DO NOT BACK BOAT INTO LAKE.
You know, cuz that would be easier that changing the window cosmetics.
