1. Cowbells. </span>
It was 1974. Shug Jordan brought his powerful Auburn Tiger War Eagle Plainsmen into Jackson and pulled off a 24-20 victory over lowly Mississippi State, who was having one of the better seasons.
What does Shug do? Praise his team for hanging on against a solid football team? Praise the opponent for getting better? After all, MSU had not scored a touchdown on Auburn in the eight year's prior.
Nope. You ***** about cowbells. The cowbells are the reason it was 24-20 instead of 24-0. So, Jordan uses his stature and lobbies to the SEC office and a ban is laid down that would not be lifted until 2010. For years and years we have had to listen to fans of other schools gripe about cowbells. ILLEGAL!!! CHEATERS!!! Like every game we win where a cowbell is rung should be forfeited.
There was even the debacle of the early 2000s where lowly Mississippi State, who had some success in the late 90s, had to be punished for those evil cowbells. Let's make an on the field penalty cried Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, and they did. LT said "Okay sirs. Thank you for letting me sit at the cool table. Its okay that you **** on me, let me make you more comfortable."
To my memory, that penalty was only enforced one time, vs. Kentucky. Then the NCAA rightfully told the SEC that they could not give a team a penalty for something that happens off the field and the 11 guys on the field have nothing to do with.
Then we got Croom. Today I am blaming Croom on Auburn and Shug Jordan.

Yep. Your fans are as delusional as Alabama fans without half the tradition. Sure you have a couple of national titles (ironically the 1957 one you later went on probation for that season, and you bought last year's.), but let me remind you of a couple of things your delusional fan base have done.
1. You tried to run off a coach a year removed from going 13 and freaking 0 in the SEC. How many times has this been done? Three? Tommy Tuberville will probably go down as one of the top 10 coaches in SEC history and you tried to run him off with booster-funded flights and threats with no real backbone.
2. When you finally had a losing season (and an excuse for running him off), you hired Gene Chizik. Chizik had more head coaching experience than say a Sly Croom, but he was 5-19 at Iowa State. There were dozens of better candidates out there, and at the time, Colonial Bank existed, so you had the resources. This perplexed a lot of people, until they saw what you did. Chizik is a puppet. With all the major Auburn alums facing federal prison, Chizik might have to coach a little this year. You'll see why he was 5-19 at Iowa State.
3. The majority of Auburn fans don't think we're a threat, because we have sucked in the past. News pasr: You suck now.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">3. You will do anything for a national championship (but you won't do that)</span>
Or will you?
The year was 2009. Big brother Alabama won a national championship. You had to get you one of those crystal balls with the Wal-Mart tour, didn't you.
So you big money donors got together, made a donation to a church in Atlanta, but you needed more than just a rented mule, didn't you? And the economy is bad, isn't it? That big purchase set you back a little? Oh, its okay - you found a way to use taxpayer money to fund an escort service to recruits. Because if there is anything we have learned about C.J. Johnson, its that recruits like white girls.
***** Eagle.
