re: Is it fair for Auburn fans to view themselves as the opposite of "gumps"?

my bama friends that are actually connected with the school in some way, they're all great people. they take pride in their football team...but at the same time, they remember the lean years too, so they don't go overboard with their fandom. the sidewalk alum are another story, but they're easy to flush out....i just ask 'em how to get to tuscaloosa, and the blank looks on their faces tell me all i need to know, lol...
