High horse commentary about "chest bumping interwebs" aside, the legitimate question remains -- what can we do.
We're not going to bulldoze Denny Chimes, set fire to Big Al,
There's only one real answer. We need to find a way to network among all Auburn fans, not just those who are on this message board or that message board.
In all of American history the greatest weapons ever employed are economic ones. Nothing we can say or do will make a greater impression than the actions we take with our wallets.
We need a way to document and inform all of our like-minded brothers and sisters. When a business or media entity defames, disrespects or dismisses Auburn that business should be informed that it just lost customers. But we'll have to follow through.
When the Dominos pizza guy shows up in a Bama cap and shirt and smarts off about the pizza costing $180,000 for Auburn fans don't just short his tip. Call the store, tell them you won't be ordering from them any more AND (this is important) record the event so other Auburn fans will do the same. Then don't order until they provide some relief.
My god, Bama fans already have the Birmingham News cowering in fear because the Tide didn't get 80% of the slobbering coverage for the first time ever. They did it by threatening boycott and using their mouthpiece Finebaum to get that word out.
Being pissed at WJOX and Tony Currie means nothing unless we organize and bring our significant financial leverage to bear against the stadium and its advertisers. Does Brombergs really want to give up half its customers?
Until and unless we're willing to do that? Our impact will be muted.
