So I get done grocery shopping at my local Kroger and as I am in the parking lot loading up my haul this old dude in an Auburn sweatshirt comes walking by and gives me a loud "War Eagle" when he sees my Bama hat. Now if you know anything about the rivalry you know what the proper response is...
"ROLL TIDE Mother Fucker!"
The man actually looked offended and then (and this is the best part) got in his truck and revved his engine and peeled off. But before he was gone I did see the shiny $30 tag on the front of his truck... With a big red "G" on it.
I don't know who to feel worse for.
Look its simple, you can be a fan of any team you want, you can dislike any team you want. All I ask is that you be prepared to be treated like the idiot you are if you start repping any team other than "yours". Especially, when that team is supposed to be one of your teams most bitter rivals (by the way UGA and Auburn fans, if you didn't know that yours is the oldest rivalry in the SEC hand over your card now).
While it won't kill me if Auburn goes on to win the National Championship this year you will not catch me yelling for them to do so. Yes, I take pride as a fan that the SEC dominates college football and an Auburn title would further THE conference's claim of dominance. I also wouldn't lose a wink's sleep if the plane carrying their team went all "We are Marshall" before the game either. Hopefully while lost and crashing head first into a plane full of "Volunteers".
Its simple, I am an Alabama fan. Win or lose, Crimson Tide through and through. I have childhood school pictures of me wearing Bama gear as far back as 33 years ago. I didn't decide to be a fan because its the thing to do now, its who I am.
ROLL TIDE...mother fuckers.
