Growing up in Dothan (ag town) that was probably 70/30 Auburn........during Pat Dye's peak......was tough.
For years I attempted to pull for them in bowl games, they were from our state, blah blah blah. I do not now. I pull against them all the time.
If they played Satan and his demons I would be there with a Go To Hell shirt on.
I really feel the internet has brought about a lot of bitterness and more disdain amongst fans throughout sports. It allows people to spew their vitriol and have no repercussions. Like the Mike Tyson quote. The internet has allowed too many people to run their mouth without getting their face punched in.
