Worse. Emory. No football, uber-liberal, and in Atlanta.

A 'mixed marriage'? How did your family react when you brought him home?

Actually, it gets better. He's from a Tulane family. The first time I met his dad, he started talking smack about LSU. I didn't understand why he cared; he told me he was a Tulane fan. That still didn't make sense to me, so I said, "So? Why do you care? Does Tulane even have a football team?" I genuinely had no idea Tulane played football, let alone that they were huge rivals, oh, around the 19teens or something.

My family doesn't care. It's sort of like why would a giant be bothered by a speck. His family is the one that gets all worked up. They usually resort to the we're-Ivy-League-in-the-South-and-y'all-are-just-a-bunch-of-web-toed-coonasses argument. Whatever. They still beg us for tickets to the big games.
