little brother syndrome
When one person feels they have a rivalry with another far superior person. The superior person usually doesn't know about it or feel that the little brother is any kind of a threat
does not apply to Iron Bowl. Multiple bama coaches have been fired for having good seasons but losing to AU.

Some might even say aubie is proud to be Alabama's little bro and they take offense to the notion that LSU has unseated them as being bama's little bro.
hawgfaninc =/= some.

I live in Austin and to be honest, for the past year or so the Longhorn fans are the ones who have been acting like they have little brother syndrome in the worst way. That's a fairly unprecedented role reversal, I grant, but its also very real. The Aggies are in the tu fans' domes and are discussed CONSTANTLY here on Austin sports radio, at tailgates and bars, by the water cooler, on shaggybevo, etc. Its really something to see.

Poor guy. When your bait doesn't pertain to your own school, it's probably time to hang it up .
This is what Arky amounts to now, trolling vicariously through Texas and Bama accomplishments.

Auburn is like the little brother from the slums who goes to law school and becomes a boring, respectable contributor to society.
Admittedly, Alabama is the dumb townie who nails the hot chicks and is a local God. Of course, he eventually ends up getting killed over some gambling debt.

Well...we aren't the ones who met in Dallas because we were obsessed with the other.

A&M is older, and now bigger than the school in Austin and their graduates make significantly more money.
The question is which one is little brother?

i'm not denying that there may be auburn fans with "little brother" syndrome, but i sure don't know any of them. bama leads the series 42-34-1, but considering 47 of those games were at legion field (bama's home away from home), i'd say it's an impressive mark & hardly one-sided enough for any auburn fan to feel like a "little brother"...but again, i won't say they're not out there, but i just haven't met 'em. auburn is 7-4 at JHS, and 7-2 at BDS. again, no little brother syndrome here. since i've followed auburn ('86 season), auburn has a 15-12 mark....again, no little brother syndrome here.
i guess it depends when you started following the program....but from where i'm sitting, all i can say is "nice try" to the OP....

Actually, it's pretty impressive what Auburn has done at times in spite of Alabama's achievements.

I can't speak for AtM, but as an Aubie, I personally consider bama to be more like a retarded cousin and consider them to be inferior to AU as a whole is almost every way.
Now, bama has managed to cheat harder and win more football games, but they are still vastly inferior to AU as a whole and as a fanbase IMO.
But if you actually think Aubie looks up to Updyke nation in any way, knock yourself out.

Using Bama to flame us because you have nothing at Arky.
Keep reaching.
ETA: Sorry you guys don't have and never will have a rival. Arky is just an after thought for the SEC. Just be happy we invited you.

For A&M to have a successful season this year, we have to beat LSU. Not predicting a win, but saying that win is needed based in the preseason expectations.
New Rivalry.

The little brother's in Alabama and Texas are still much better programs than the big brother in Arkansas
