both of my parents went to school there... i grew up going to games... not sure i had much a choice in the matter.
Same with me and Alabama. Both parents went to Alabama and I grew up going to football and basketball games from the time I was about 8 years old. I also had a great uncle and uncle who played basketball at Alabama.
My best friend grew up an Alabama fan (his parents went to Alabama) but pulled a Landon Collins and followed his middle school/high school girlfriend to Auburn. I also have a couple of friends that grew up Bama fans, graduated from Auburn, but are still die hard Alabama fans.

My grandfather's cousin played at Auburn I think 1956-1959, so his family have all been fans since then. My mother's family were all bama fans because they moved into the state during the bahr years.
When my parents got married, my dad converted my mom, just as I converted my wife whose family are all bama fans.
I have noticed, and this is just purely my experience, that the chances of a bama chick marrying an Auburn dude and converting seem to be a lot higher than an Auburn chick marrying a bama dude and converting, among the friends and family I know who have gone into mixed marriages.
I was going to be the first person in my family to go to Auburn, since the 50's, until UAB threw all kinds of cash at me to come to school there and I couldn't afford to pass that offer up.
