A former and current Auburn football player sound off on fans swaying recruits away
Auburn football fans have been dealing with the dominance of Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide and the more recent dominance of their Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry counterpart, Georgia, making it a pretty tough fandom to fathom.
The program’s own futility has only helped fuel the fires the past two seasons, but Tiger fans are starting to get a really bad rap because of how they behave online.
Quite frankly, some of it is deserved.

Auburn basketball fans, you keep on loving that team and deep frying memes. Auburn football fans? You have upset the very players you dedicate so much support to.
