Title: Two random tree remarks toward the rugby team
Post by: yzblue125 on February 19, 2011, 10:17:59 PM
So we just got back from T-Town where we lost against Bama 10-24 on A-side and won 7-0 on JV. In between the games we were getting the chew out from our capatain Stew when about five Bama students yelled through the fence at the intermural feilds "at least you still have your tress..oh wait".  We took the high rode and didnt say a word... on the way out of town we stooped at Chipolte were we recieved a " good luck with the trees" (with a smirk) on the way out the door. 

Long story short, That entire town and the fans are blowing smoke up our ass when they say they are ashamed of what happened.. Some may really mean it, but you cant judge a group by the minority. I cant belive that I was willing to let the whole Toomers deal slide cause of one crazy guy..nope there all nuts over there.   Matt

Cooler heads have already determined he was a lone gunman and you can't paint the entire fanbase with the same brush.

Youre exactly right. Its PR bullshit. 20K, 30K or whatever they wind up "raising" is a small price to pay to clean up their image nationally for the beating they took last week in the media. Bullshit, just pure bullshit. I'm with Kaos and Prowler here - I cant believe people are so naive to believe this bullshit. They don't give a flying fuck about us or our trees. Never have, never will. 

Fuck them. And I will be as angry as I want to be. Don't like it? Well Fuck you too.

I would much rather be with you on this then the other petty "tubs was a turrible coach" bs threads. This shit is the real deal. And will separate the men from the boys. I have nothing against Prowler. In fact he entertains me. Its nice to see his head is right on this. And I agree with him 100%. Not one word prowler has said about this topic has been wrong thus far. Well, except the misusing of the cent sign. But still, minor detail.

I got nothing against him either.  And you're right.  This is the real deal.  This is where we find out what we're made of.   Prowler's passion and mine might run in opposite directions but at the end of the day we've always been on the same team.  We both want what's best for Auburn. 

I'd rather have opposite positions argued passionately than everybody just nodding in agreement.

My sources in the Phillipines, South Vietnam, North Mexico, and the Sahara Desert have all confirmed to me that they are now receiving moderate snowfall. They also can see random swine in the distance that appear to be hovering a good 15-20 feet off the ground.

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.

Have I not claimed that I don't want them anywhere near our gameday traditions?  Must be nice to be able to stand far away from the problems and yell that we should just take it and move on.  Remind me again, how tall is that horse you ride on?

First of all, Prowler was the first to mention the bammers taking a sense of ownership in the Toomer's tree thanks to this.

Secondly, how can you be so naive? Maybe there is a small minority that want to contribute to this fund because they simply feel it's the right thing to do. The obvious fact is that when everyone from ESPN to CNN to NBC Nightly News started showing this redneck's mugshot in stories about how Auburn is a victim and Bama is the guilty party in the ultimate case of "going too far", it's terrible PR. The machine can't allow that, so in order to distance themselves, they paint it as an "isolated incident" and show that "real bama fans" disapprove and are raising money to fix the problem.

Hey TW, I don't really think K or anyone else is really going to go out and put them or their families life in jeopardy. The war and battle comments are more figuratively, somewhat. Its more of a mindset and willingness to stand your ground against stupid bammerism. Maybe some of us have done so already, but there are some that have taken a more low key approach. I think for a long time a lot of Auburn fans have been a lot more non confrontational when dealing with the erratic and sporadic bammerism behavior. Not because anyone is scared or a bunch of pussies, but more so because it just really isn't worth the time to carry on an argument with a dumbass. This approach has not worked, it has only given the bammers more of a false sense of superiority over Auburn; more of a sounding platform with no real debate from our side. Yes, most of us have thought or still think that going down to that scum level is fucktarded. Thats not it though, we can engage in real debate with real knowledge and class. What this latest crime has done is awakened a lot of Auburn fans up that may very well feel like they have been sitting on their hands for way to long. By this action, letting the bammers spew venom and garbage with out being in check. Now comes war, meaning "motherfucker you will be held accountable for your fucking bullshit and if you are around me in your display of your bullshit, you best believe I'm gonna put your sorry ass in check" mentality. Some of us are a bit more colorful in explaning their views here on this board but it just so happens that they are in the midst of the shit. I can understand that, since I grew up in that area. There are cockroaches everywhere.

I have an example of what I am referring to. Living here in the area of the state isn't quit as bad as north AL but there are some dumb fucks down here. My wife and I (and the little ones in the family too) were in teh Wal-Marks and were picking up some cleaning materials wearing our AUburn t-shirts and gear. I guess this was too much for this lady to take. She looked at me and then turned her head while saying "I hate Auburn". It took me by surprise just a little as my first response was to laugh and asked her "What did you say"? So, she repeated herself.

Okay, this is where "war" comes into play. Before the most recent act of bammer terroism this might have been met with a shrug and silent hand gesture, and then just simply walk away. After the most recent act of bammer fucktard comes an indepth explanation of how fucking retarded with a touch of class and dignity to make sure they understand before you walk away that they are worse than the dried up shit stuck to donkeys ass. And, you can see in their eyes, the defeat that is.

Its not "war" as in killing some worthless piece of shit but killing some worthless piece of shits sense of false pride and thinking they can and will say or do whatever without being put in check. Its time for us as Auburn fans to take accountability for keeping bammers accountable to the best of our ablility even more than some have done before. Time to quit being as passive and act in real life towards this bullshit like we would here at our home on TigerX. Be more real than before, be more vocal and chop these bitches down before they even get started. When these asswipes want to spew trash, they will make damn sure to not come your way with it or even let you find out about because they will know they are not up to task with you.

I guess thats the way I see it, that is all.

You are absolutely right.  Everyone on here will make Miss Manners so proud as they quietly explain to the Updyke in a classy and dignified way the error of his or her ways in directing their unpalatable language towards an Auburn fan, and then go on to state in the most polite of terms how the Updyke in question can do fuck him or herself, thereby ensuring that the Auburn Family continues to hold superior ground. 

Yeah, that's gonna happen.  My bad.  Viva la resistance!!

Nice attempt to distort my words - but dissembling is one of your tricks of the trade.  Not sure how you drew THAT conclusion, especially since there is NOTHING in my history to suggest anything of the kind.   But nice try nonetheless.

Never roll in the mud with a pig. Because you both get covered with mud—and the pig likes it.  If an Updyke in WalMarks says something to me, the look of scathing contempt I throw her way and the complete disregard of her and her comment is better than telling her to go fuck herself, and letting her know she got to me.    Granted, it is not nearly as satisfying as telling her to fuck herself, but it keeps me above her level, where I already exist.  No way do you ever let them see that they got to you.

Calling down the hounds of hell on the media and their advertisers is fine.  I have been known to do that myself.  But to make a point of actually engaging the Updykes on their own level?  NO WAY.  Excuse me for not wanting to get all muddy.

I think you took that a wee bit out of context. I thought you seriously would be able get the pic without me writing a 5 page essay instead of one. Lets put it another way, instead of being the silent pussy, speak up when some Updike opens their whorish mouth. One doesn't have to go the the level of bammerism, but can speak with authority and knowledge. Fuck it, I tried.

What you insinuated is that you believe that some of us are incapable of rational and reasonable response.  Your inference is that we aren't as cultured and sophisticated as perhaps you are and we can't be trusted to express our opinion in public.   

Fuck that.  Smacks of elitism. 

We're all grown people.  Some of us own our own businesses or manage businesses for others.  Some of us work in the halls of government and confer with Senators, governors and congressmen. Many of us are professionals.  All of us on this board, at least, are educated.  We all make our own way in this world and do not rely on others to sustain us.  We're responsible for our actions. Most of us are responsible for the welfare of our families. 

We're not half naked barbarians running wild in the streets.  We know how to interact with the public and we know how to craft cogent, non-profane responses when we are aggreived.  If you'd bothered to read the posted responses to issues over the last few days you'd see that when we do react, we do so with restraint and dignity. 

Inside these walls it's family.  Like Vito Corleone said, never let anybody outside the family know what you're thinking.  Here, we vent.  When we take it to the streets, we rein that in.  What Kaos says on this message board and what Bruce Wayne writes when he lodges a complaint against an offending journalist are two very different things.  It's disappointing that you're unable to recognize that. 

All anybody here is really looking for is a way to band together and determine a unified response to this situation.  It's not the trees.  It's never been the trees. The poisoning of the trees is a symptom of a larger malady and one we'd like to address in whatever manner we can.

NOBODY said engage them on their own level.  You inserted that yourself.

What you insinuated is that you believe that some of us are incapable of rational and reasonable response.  Your inference is that we aren't as cultured and sophisticated as perhaps you are and we can't be trusted to express our opinion in public.   

Fuck that.  Smacks of elitism. 

We're all grown people.  Some of us own our own businesses or manage businesses for others.  Some of us work in the halls of government and confer with Senators, governors and congressmen. Many of us are professionals.  All of us on this board, at least, are educated.  We all make our own way in this world and do not rely on others to sustain us.  We're responsible for our actions. Most of us are responsible for the welfare of our families. 

We're not half naked barbarians running wild in the streets.  We know how to interact with the public and we know how to craft cogent, non-profane responses when we are aggreived.  If you'd bothered to read the posted responses to issues over the last few days you'd see that when we do react, we do so with restraint and dignity. 

Inside these walls it's family.  Like Vito Corleone said, never let anybody outside the family know what you're thinking.  Here, we vent.  When we take it to the streets, we rein that in.  What Kaos says on this message board and what Bruce Wayne writes when he lodges a complaint against an offending journalist are two very different things.  It's disappointing that you're unable to recognize that.

I did insinuate that some of us are incapable of rational and reasonable response.  I would hope that the members of this board who are educated professionals are capable of representing themselves and our university in a positive manner in public, but there is plenty of evidence on this board to support my insinuation, some of which are first hand accounts.  Perhaps their comments are hyperbole - you would be the best judge of that. 

Your accusation of my alleged elitism is yet another attempt to distract from my central point by attacking me personally in hopes of getting me to defend myself and thereby redirecting my attention elsewhere.  Never at any time have I claimed to be as or more cultured or sophisticated than anyone else on here.  You are the one reading more into my post than was there. 

The ironic thing is that you yourself in other times have made direct, downright snarky comments about the education and financial status of a LOT of people on this board, Auburn and rival alike, comments that are much more elitist than anything I allegedly infered, especially since you usually include specific comparisons to your own career and economic position in an attempt to justify your superiority to whomever you are lambasting.

But apparently politics makes strange bedfellows, Mr. Mitty.

I said my piece in a separate thread.  Still feel that way.  Good luck raging against the machine.

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. 

The tide for Toomer's, and them donating money and crap sickens me as well.  The only reason they are doing it is to save face.  They don't care about the Oaks.  All they care about is that someone, who from my experience, represents a good portion of their base, made them look like douchebags all over the nation and they want that perception fixed and gone.

There is more than one way to fight a war against them without blowing up denny chimes (which I still wouldn't shed a tear and would snicker if it happened).  Things like Uncle Sani said in the thread about the reporter from Florence.  Don't shop with their sponsors and let the sponsors know why.  If they lose enough customer base over, you can bet they will have something to say to the editor.   I'm not saying go punch every cousin fucker you see in the nuts, but yes, do fight back.

You know, I may have underestimated you. 

You've taken a quote from one of Kaos' most hated actors and applied to one his post.  You managed to somehow lure Kaos out in the public to give you a slap on the back for comparing him to someone he detests.  Then, as if that wasn't enough, you referenced his post again, but changed his phrase from streets to skreets. 

Am I the only one who sees this brilliance?  Am I the only one who's read the numerous jabs by Kaos at Will Ferrell and "skreets"?  Am I the only one who sees this connection?  Am I in the twilight zone?

Let me 'splain something to you before I send the coded message out to the guerilla fighters to let them know you're fair game again and not on the protected list. 

Prowler and I may fight like dogs over things internal.  I might call him a dirty sumbitch.  It's internal.  At the end of the day I still know his heart's in the right place.  Same with Chizad, Chopper and almost everybody else I've crossed swords witth.  We've disagreed over internal things, things inside the family. 

Something outside, though?  We're on the same page.  Most of us are, anyway. 

Yeah, I hate Will Ferrell.  They should put him and Nicholas Cage and John Travolta in a boiling vat of acid if they ever try to do another movie.  Cage and Travolta can at least be excused for Raising Arizona/Valley Girl and Saturday Night Fever/Pulp Fiction respectively.  Ferrell.... well.... he can go back to SNL.  Short doses are all he's good for.  Can't sustain the long haul.

But that doesn't matter.  I understand that Prowler thinks Ferrell is funny and that he likes to pretend he roams the skreets.  If our institutions weren't under attack maybe I'd devote the time to dissecting those things.  But this is war.  In war?  Prowler's my brother.  He's out of ammo?  I'm going to share mine with him.
