Third generation auburn alum. Grandfather was the first. Spent 2 yrs at AU, joined the Navy for WW2. Came back and finished his degree at AU.
Had his own practice for 30 years. Well known in certain north alabama town for his AU fandom. Helped Vince Dooley sign his first recruit to AU as an assistant at my grandparents house. Also, embarrassed himself a bit by going down on the field and asking AUs offensive co-coordinator when he was going to retire so AU could beat bama as he was walking off the field of an IB at legion field. Coach went berserk and had to be restrained by other AU coaches.
Parents took me to my first game when I was 2 years old. We have had season tickets in the family since the 1950s. I've probably been to 150 or so AU games. Really no idea, but a lot and about all the big ones for 20+ years until I moved to south florida. Didn't miss a home game in my 6 years at AU.
