Is Auburn this Year's Michigan?

[Original_Irish]

A lot of parallels between the teams and the fan bases of this year's Auburn and last year's Michigan.

Both are/were Football schools that just can't beat their dominant rivals. Fan Bases see the success of their basketball teams now and are feeling extra special and relevant in a way that their football program has not been able to provide lately. And with this new feeling of superiority, the fan bases have become very.... loud lately.

I hope y'all take this post in the good fun that I made it, but the similarities are there!

I see what you’re going for but Michigan is a pretty historic basketball program. Auburn has been solid the last 4 years or so as well, despite being down last year

I agree with Michigan's historical success in basketball.

Point being, last year Ohio State played for a Natty in football and UM was terrible. UM fans got way more into their basketball team than I had seen from them in the past. Its a large similarity to how Auburn fans are celebrating this year's team.

The worst teams in the SEC all time are, in order: Ole Miss, Georgia, Auburn.

This is literally their first rodeo.

I mean, they did make a final 4 in 2019

I'm bumping this because I just think that I was very spot on with this assessment 😂

So you're taking UCLA over Auburn in the E8?

I could see that.

No one should take UCLA lightly in the tournament.

Auburn might be this year's Texas (on the court).

Anyone seen AuHoosier lately?

They were my pre season pick to win it all and though they have done nothing to support that, nobody else has really done anything either.

Auburn went down to Texas A&M. They don't play good away from home.

Auburn seems to be struggling a lot lately, we will see if they will be able to win more than 2 games in March Madness.
