I said this about Prowler in another thread, but sadly it is starting to apply to others as well.
The only difference between you guys and Al is a few gallons of herbicide and an easy target.
War. In what way, pray tell? Another random act of terrorism? Gonna challenge Saban to a duel? Just what exactly are you going to do? Pillage their villages? Rape their women and spit their children on a hook? Fire all your employees who are bammer grads, because surely they are secretly laughing at you behind your back? Break off friendships with every person you know who is a bammer fan, because hey, every single one of them without exception is a total dickhead, right? Divorce your wife that is a bammer fan, because you know she is talking smack about you and Auburn on message boards since they all do that, right?
War. Right. Are you guys willing to be the martyrs for the cause, ruin your lives for a rivalry between schools? If so, then you are as stupid as he is. If not, then you really sound like idiots right now.
Hate 'em all you want - I do too. But I'll let the hating be on the field. It would not matter if 100% of their fanbase were dicks. There is not one single thing you can do to change that, not one thing, any more than one of them killing our trees will keep us from being Auburn fans. There is no "If you can't beat them, join them..." here. Just hate 'em. Keep hating 'em. Look forward to seeing them left crumpled and bleeding on the field. But be a fucking grownup about it - even if they aren't.
I still think that the gesture made by the bammers was a good thing to do. I would have done the same had the situation been reversed. JR is the only one of you so far who has stated a legit reason for not wanting the bammers to contribute to the reclamation effort - he thinks they will try and claim some sort of pride of ownership someday for helping replace the trees. I disagree, but at least it is a rational point to make.
You guys who are strutting around, chest bumping each other over teh innerwebs while you check your weapons and apply black facepaint, are coming off to be as much of a lunatic as that son of a bitch. Unlike Jimmeh, I actually realize that you cannot change the minds of an extremist, so y'all have fun with your war. Call Snaggie if you need a lawyer who cares.
