GGrand father, Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, step-father, two uncles, two brothers, sister, 19 first cousins, 59 2nd-5th cousins that I know of, and of course moi, all went to Alabama (I must be old fashioned... I cannot call the school "Bama"... it is disrespectfull).
However, I grew up in Gainesville Florida a Gator Fan until I went to Alabama after Vietnam. But even in Gainesville, no one ever liked Auburn and everyone always referred to them as a cow college. NO ONE likes Auburn, anywhere.
After graduating Alabama, I lived for a time in Fairhope Alabama... where I came face to face with the reality in the State of the iron bowl. Even healthy teenage girls take sides early on.
It is ugly out there in the hustings of Alabama, I mean drankin' smash mouth done fall down after beating the hell out of them that has it commin' ugly. About the first time some back woods overall wearing grease ball farmer gets in your face or follows you around yelling insults, your patriotism meter for your school magically pegs out.
In Alabama it is partly a class thing. U of Alabama is the school of Drs and Lawyers. Auburn is the school of mechanics, farmers, animal husbandry... and their damn mascot, the "war eagle," is a symbol borrowed from a damnyankee regiment that happened to be burning their way through Alabama about 1865... which tells you a lot about Auburn, aka Alabama Ploytech, aka Alabama A&M, aka Auburn U of Georgia.

Here in Atlanta, I have encountered somewhere in the number of 15-20 people that went to Auburn...mainly in legal (undergrad, went to Emory or Mercer for law), banking/finance, and construction. I have encountered very few (maybe 3-4) that went to U of Alabama...mainly in small business and legal (undergrad and law).

I'm not taking a side here, but this statement is so stupid. Posted on 11/8/13 at 9:37 am to Jacknola

This is trite and you seem like a simpleton even though you claim to have graduated from U of A.
Don't be upset that Alabama's law school has never really produced anyone of consequence except to inflate the ranks of a ridiculous and over bloated "profession" with more mediocrity. Our Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, and Pharmacy programs have added more value to our society than your "prestigious" law school.
