2011 BCS National Champions: Why I Love the Auburn Tigers—Satire

Satire (n) 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.

Recently I wrote an article about how Auburn was making a mockery of college football, which you can read here.

But after reading the comments from Auburn fans, I will now admit that I was wrong, and I wasn't even close to being right.

I was the idiot, I was the moron and I was the spoiled little snot rag.

I now have a deep affection and love for Auburn University, their football program and their fans.

I. Love. Auburn.

Because to them, only a couple things matter. The only things that matter are family and winning. Things that will get you far in life.

Honesty, integrity, respect, credibility—those are things that can be put on the back burner of their double-wide trailer.
