Trust me I hate living amongst the Bammers in particular and the AU fans have gotten pretty annoying the last few yrs as well, but it's usually them fighting with each other. Just hate the Cockyness that the Ala fans have, has made me hate them even more. I grew up in Maryville, graduated from William Blount in '92 and to this day I miss living in TN. But as a whole its not a bad place to live. Orange Beach isnt far, neither is Florida, Atlanta or the Casino's in Ms. Now it does bother me that these southern baptists won't vote to bring in the lottery but will take busses to the Casino's in Miss, go to TN, GA or Uf and buy lottery lickets instead of getting one here and helping these god awful school systems. If I didn't have a little boy I would have moved back to Tn after my divorce but couldn't do that to him. But there are some nice area's and places in Ala, not a complete $hithole.
