Alabama Campus vs. Auburn Campus
Auburn.

Tuscaloosa isn't even trying at this point.

You've lost your mind. Half the buildings on Auburn's campus look like they were designed by some anonymous government architect in 1968. The *GROUNDS* at Auburn look great. Many of the *BUILDINGS* look like crap.

But, Auburn is not alone. I have had the pleasure to do a reasonable amount of traveling in my life and I enjoy visiting college campuses when not pressed for time. The "look" of great grounds/generic buildings is often a look you will see at land grant institutions. Perhaps there is some government influence at work, maybe it's random. I have no idea. But I do know that if you go to various land grand universities, you'll see the same cookie cutter buildings from the 1960s.

Again, the grounds at Auburn are comparable to any college anywhere. The buildings and overall campus? Not so much. Put the two together and I see no logical way anyone could claim Auburn is head and shoulders above Alabama. It simply is not so.
