How many auburn fans are there

College Gameday will be headed to State College with many Auburn fans for the primetime whiteout. After kicking off their season with a big win over Wisconsin and rolling over Ball State, the Nittany Lions are heading into Week 3 as a top ten team in the AP poll. Auburn worked its way up to the 22 spot prior to the road game, but the team has a lot to prove this weekend with an opponent like Penn State. While Tiger fans are confident that the orange and blue will take care of business in Happy Valley, Nittany Lions fans are sure of the opposite.

Penalty to start the game! Time to show the SEC what the best environment in college football looks like! You think this was loud? Just wait. AuburnFootball you simply cannot prepare for what we will unleash upon you Saturday night. I see it in the student-athletes we serve. I see it when they compete for championships. I see it when they serve our community. I see it when they earn their degrees. I see it when they go on to enjoy success in careers as educators, attorneys, accountants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, engineers and too many professions to enumerate.

Hell, If I were a wise enough businessman I would turn "cow college" into a huge marketing campaign. First things first for all of you Aubbies. I love the fact that you are enthusiastic and have high hopes heading into every single season, no matter what has transpired.

It was ridiculous to hear everyone flip flop on how great a coach Tuberville was, to how terrible a coach he was, simply based on whether Auburn won or lost the previous week.

I never had such a complex when it came to Mike Shula. Anyways, Tuberville's gone so hopefully that won't happen again with Chizik assuming he doesn't get fired after six games. The biggest problem I have with Auburn fans is the statement that Alabama fans are a bunch of toothless rednecks that never even went to school there. Here is the main question that you must ask yourself Now, I do believe that there are more Alabama fans that didn't go to school there, or anywhere, than there are Auburn fans who didn't go to school at Auburn.

However, your premise is completely absurd, and if you don't believe me, then tell all of your kids or grand kids that are of high school age or younger that they can't be Auburn fans or cheer for Auburn since they haven't gone to school there. Now, do you still have a problem with Alabama fans who didn't attend the University of Alabama? I do have to say though that Auburn fans do a much better job at approaching each game individually and giving the opposing team a realistic look, and that is something i do appreciate.

I do have one huge problem with Auburn fans. When I hear an Auburn fan say, "I would be satisfied with wins each year as long as we beat Alabama.
