I am amused how quickly this thread went from politics to football.... While disappointed, I love my Auburn Tigers -win, lose, or draw!! I think you picked the best time to be home (last year) for many reasons :)
I must confess, I didn’t read the article. I guessed that it was support for Romney but my point is the transcendance of the rivalry. Remember the blood drives in the 60s and 70s? It was which school will demonstrate its patriotism and support of our fighting men by giving the most blood. Then, directly after the war, it was show which school has more compassion. But at the heart of it was GIVE MORE THAN THE BAMA STUDENTS!
Of course, the medicoes needed to be aware that blood from Tigers is either burnt orange or navy blue.
We may come together on this one point, but the war is still on.
You are right about the profs being liberal. My own parents, can you believe it, are yellow-dog democrats. Also, billy-bob gibson, of the o administration, grew up in The Village.
Your are also right about the time for being at home. If I had to be there, that was a good time to pick.
