Auburn fans are not happy about going to the Birmingham Bowl and their reactions on social media are hilarious.
Oh how the hyped have fallen. Auburn fans and the media were sure that Auburn would rule the SEC and Jeremy Johnson would be winning the Heisman by now… instead Auburn is headed to the Birmingham Bowl and Alabama is now the one headed to the playoff.
When Auburn’s matchup in the Birmingham Bowl was announced today Auburn fans did not jump for joy, in fact it was quite the opposite. Heck, even Charles Barkley is embarrassed by Auburn’s heading to the Birmingham Bowl.
You don’t have to take my word for it though, check out what these proud Auburn family members had to say about playing in Legion Field…
Last year I went to the Birmingham Bowl and joked the whole time about Auburn never being there....well karma is not a nice lady.

Don’t taunt fate Ryan.
Mizzou turned down a bowl because they were 5-7 and their coach has cancer; turning down a bowl game because you think you’re too good for it wouldn’t be a good move.
Reading between the lines, but what it looks like you’re trying to say here is that their are people of a different skin tone than you in Birmingham right?
Fair point.
Literally what is going on with Auburn football? The Birmingham bowl?? REALLY??
— Lindsey (@WarDamnWatts) December 6, 2015
LITERALLY they are going to a bowl game located in Birmingham Alabama.
Auburn's berth in the Birmingham Bowl means a month's worth of stories about how much they hate Legion Field & Bham in general. Fun.

Auburn and Legion Field are just meant to be together, stop fighting it.
I love Auburn more than anyone, just disappointed our administration couldn't get us in the Liberty Bowl or Independence Bowl.

That’s not how bowl selection works.
@AU_History ALL 'state of auburn' merchandise needs to be burned immediately!! #amiright

It’s the t-shirt’s fault!
@AU_History We were riding high when those shirts came out last year. Hated them them, even worse now.

THE SHIRTS ARE OUT TO GET US.
This is one of the happiest Auburn fan tweets about the Birmingham Bowl I could find.
Should Auburn fans boycott the Birmingham bowl game

A GOOD OLE FASHIONED AUBURN BOYCOTT Y’ALL!
Of course Auburn doesn't get the Music City Bowl.
— Drew Davis (@drewdavis10) December 6, 2015
Why would you think they would? You barely got bowl eligible and are ranked last in the SEC West.
Can see it now:

Auburn draws Memphis in bowl; loses.
Everyone forgets they also beat down Ole Miss; piles on Gus for losing to Memphis.
I mean they should probably pile on Gus now, but that’s fair.
Not only do you suck, but you are an amazing brand of self-righteous suck.
I feel like this might be sarcastic.
I think this pretty well sums up Auburn's football season this year. pic.twitter.com/2z5fH87UD9

Is there any way Pat Dye can get the Birmingham Bowl moved to Jordan-Hare?

Okay, this one is pretty damn funny.

Firing people kind of got you into this mess didn’t it?
I have decided to put all my sports hopes into Auburn basketball. AU football, braves, Falcons, Hawks, Winnipeg and Tampa are not good
— Jeremy Page (@PageJeremy) December 6, 2015
Why don’t you try swimming.
Just been a crappy year for Auburn football!!! Wait, didn't I say that last year?
— Briane Faletto (@brifal67) December 6, 2015
Probably.
Auburn football is stuck inside this hell tornado of same but different coaches each year. We must escape the hell tornado.

A hell tornado y’all.
We can only hope.
I just went to @SeatGeek and price the Birmingham bowl Auburn vsMemphis $241 for 2 tix lol I will never pay that to go set in a dump lol
— Anthony John Green Allen (@allnamp) December 6, 2015
Is the dump the bowl or Auburn football? Or both?

Catch Auburn fever… it’s terminal.
Cheer up, swimming, horse riding, and bass fishing are sports at Auburn too!
I sometimes hate that I care about Auburn football so much
— Stephen (@Stephen_T_C) December 6, 2015
The things that love you always hurt you the most.
I’m fine with it.
He was so polite to call Jay Jacobs sir.
But Colin said it anyway.
Well beggars who are last in their division can’t be choosers.
Yeah they are all idiots to have tried to get you in a bowl game!
CALL SOCIAL SERVICES, IT’S ABUSE!
So agreeing to the bowl, not all the things that led to the ending up in the bowl?
AUBURN’S MOST FAVORITE THING… ONLINE PETITONS!!!
Yeah get out of the way you Birmingham Bowl peddler!
I think they will take this complaint seriously because of the emoji poop.
Think it's time to break the banner back out #FireJayJacobs @JT_Moon @RPKII @jayjacobsauad
