Is Auburn located in a rural area? I heard they play in the iron bowl.

Come on now. You know we do that just to confuse UGA fans. It works brilliantly.

Because those idiots pronounce “Jordan” as “Jerdan” so everyone is just thrown off.

In 2022 we can just refer to Auburn as Sub-500.

I’ve followed Auburn for over four decades and have never heard anyone call it AR-burn.


I've never heard it either, I thought maybe he would say "All-burn". That's the only mispronunciation Ican remember hearing for Auburn, and it was from my younger cousin who had a speech impediment when we were little kids
