Dear God, Please Don’t Ever let me be like Auburn Fans

I have made a serious error. I always thought that Alabama fans cornered the market on brash arrogance in the state of Alabama. Based off of what I have seen from the Auburn Twitterverse, I couldn’t have been more wrong. They think they are going to win on Saturday. I have no problem with that. They think Auburn is going to embarrass the Bulldogs. That I have a problem with.
Look, Auburn is good, but are they so good that they think their football team can waltz into Davis Wade Stadium and run the number 3 ranked team in the country off the field? Not hardly. Here is some of their thoughts.
Look, Miss St is fine, but their 2 big wins are over a team no longer in the Top 25 and a team whose claim to fame was beating S. Carolina.

Auburn's defense is more like "Third Down for Naught," amirite? #wareagle

The day I'm scared of Mississippi State is the day I give up all interest in football.

And I had no idea that Auburn fans hated cowbells as much as they do. I have seen more complaining about cowbells than I have ever heard from any other group of fans or players. And that includes Ole Miss fans. Here are some of their thoughts about the cowbell.
TE CJ Uzomah on hate of MSU cowbells: "No, it's never gonna change, ever. Those things are awful. … It's definitely not fun hearing those."

Sammie Coates says “I hate them bells” about the cowbells. “It’s just a weird noise."

It sounds like the Auburn players really hate cowbells. They also know the best way to make them stop. #wareagle

So yeah, I don’t ever want to be like Auburn fans. It should be a good game, but just don’t try to tell that to these guys.
