I'm a Carolina grad, my little brother is a Clemson grad. He always was a pain in my arse.

Should be interesting...my cousin is a Bama grad and will be there as well.

Wish it was that easy!

I am going on an early, long hike with my dogs and then smoking the bird outside. Friday, we prepare for a rousing R-kansas beatdown. Then, Saturday I hear there's some football on TV, as well.

My wife is a U of A alumnus. I have degrees from both schools. My son is a Huge AU fan; my daughter is not invested, but wears AU colors. My brother is a Bama fan who actually attended both schools. My aunt was in the Million dollar band in the 60's. My dad pulled for Bama until I went to AU- then he visited and fell in love with AU campus and family. My mom actually pulls for both teams- like only a mother can.

My brother and I attend the SECCG together every year whether it is Bama or AU (I give my 4 tickets to an LSU fan when they make it). My son goes when it is AU. I take some Bama friends when they go- for face value. Still waiting for a Bama friend to reciprocate when AU makes it to ATL sometime.

I'm an LSU fan and my wife's family are all Razorbacks. This year we're at their house and I'm calling it the "For You My Friend Thanksgiving Three-peat"!

All Arkansas fans, but my brothers and I are divided by a Bret/Gus fence. Hopefully, their wives won't take required meds, and my brothers get locked into an argument about curtains.

Both of my parents are Bama fans, and my aunt is a FSU alum. I'm the lone Auburn fan. Should be good times

I have a cousin that always wears this AWFUL orange shirt with the gigantic AU on it and always instigates the Bama/AU shite talking. It get to the point that we argue acceptance requirements are graduation rates.

Damn, some of y'all have it easy.

OK, here goes. I went to USC, my wife is a Bama fan, my dad is a UGA fan, my brother went to grad school at Ole Miss, I've got an aunt who went to Florida (my bro-in-law is a UF fan, too), two cousins who are FSU fans, an aunt who lives in Fayetteville and pulls for the Pigs, another aunt who pulls for aTm, a cousin who works for Vandy, and a cousin who pulls for LSU.

And yes, we'll all be in the house at the same time.
