I live in Birmingham and work w/bunch of Auburn and Alabama season tickets holders and supporters. At lunch today on a local Birmingham radio sports talk show, Sir Charles Barkley really slammed his alma mater. Said they would always been second-rate to Alabama, just like Okla. State, Texas A&M, and UCLA. Said when people say they have beat the bammers 4 straight, he says "so what, how many national championships has Auburn won in past 10yrs? None, same as Bama. Said Tubby would not go to Texas A&M and play second fiddle to Texas, same thing as happening at Auburn. Said he didn't know bama had won so many national championships, but recently found out and said Auburn was a joke to compare.

I told Auburn guys with me that would be like Peyton Manning saying those things about UT or Namath about
Ala. This guy has his jersey retired at Auburn!!!:lolabove:

You have to like the way Barkley doesn't mince words, and says what he thinks, regardless.

Sounds crazy since he has stated in the past he would like to run for Gov. Sounds like he's changed his mind or just has a big mouth which we all no he does.

Nailed it. Barkley just likes to run his mouth to hear himself blather.

Sounds to me like Auburn has burned him this year in some of his gambling ventures. :eek:lol:

I don't like it. It's that same crappy attitude that seems to run through the sports landscape these days. No loyalty to team or program. "It's all about me". It's the Kelly Washington mentality.

Are you sure Barkely didn't say "Auburn is just turrible, it's turrible when you don't win championships"
