I have noticed auburn fans are a different breed than the other teams fans from that state. Used to dislike auburn but the more of their people I meet I am starting to change
Auburn has great fans. If you ever lived down there, you'd be an AU fan by default because "you have to decide." Auburn is an easy decision.
BTW I dont mean you have to be a fan fan, but they make you declare. Its the first order of business so everybody knows where you stand.

In Montgomery Al. I noticed an older lady crocheting a cool looking AU blanket. I know it's AU. We started talking and she is a great grandma raising her two autistic great grandchildren on her own and she said she makes collegiate throws in her spare time to make ends meet. Long story short, I ordered a UT throw and told her to contact me when she finished. Well 3 months later I had all forgotten about it and got a text this morning with the finished throw. It was $75 but I rounded it up to an even $100 considering her situation and the time and effort it took to absolutely kill it! The guy holding it up is 6'4. I'm a happy camper.
Magnaflow dual exaust with 3.5 tips at 45 degrees on a 15 Z71. Nice V8 rumble without sounding obnoxious.
I live in calera but went to high school at Thompson. Small world.
Edit: when I am forced to "declare" I still declare Tennessee.
This may not sit well with some but here we go. From Kingsport, UT grad and have lived in Bhm for over 20 years now. Given that all schools have their idiot fans I have never really had any problems living here. What I have really found interesting is how many Alabama fans when they find out I am a UT fan truely seem sincere in saying that they are glad to see us getting back on our feet. Now they still want to beat us but are glad we are comming back. Now they are mostly older fans that remember when UT was a bigger game for them then AU.
Given a choice of watching a game with Alabama friends or AU friends I most likely would choose the Alabama friends.
One last thing I have a son with an Alabama degree , one that just graduated from AU last weekend and a wife with a masters from Ga.
Do not post much but thought I would give my two cents.
