Graduated from Miss State and wife graduated from Ole Miss.
All my dad's family are Bama fans and half my Mom's family are Auburn and half Bama.

Wife and all her family are Ole Miss grads. They all seem to understand where Ole Miss is athletically, but have an amazingly high level of delusion regarding Ole Miss as an academic institution.

My first cousin on my dad's side went to Vandy. I actually pull for them a little more since he graduated from there.

My dad and sister both graduated from Carolina. My mom graduated from the College of Charleston.

Uncle was a professor of some sort at UGA so of course they (aunt, uncle, cousins) are UGA fans. My dad is from SE KY and they are all UK fans.

I was lucky enough to be born and raised in beautiful East TN.

My wife is an Alabama alumna. Her family is about 50-50.

My family is 95% Auburn with a few Bama in-laws scattered here and there.

Effect on my dislike of Bama is nil.

Do I count myself as family?
I went to AU, but I hate them in sports.

I have 2 older sisters who both graduated from Auburn. I spent quite a bit of time down there visiting with them while I was in high school. I did enjoy my time down there. I actually went to several games with them and we always sat in the student section, and I always wore an Alabama hat. Other than some good nature ribbing , no one ever really bothered me about it.

In laws have connections to UT. They are from Knoxville.

My family all bleeds P&G and none of my family went to another college, except me.

my dad's sister, her husband, and all of their kids went to Ole Miss. It makes me hate Ole Miss even more.

My wife is an Ole Miss grad. Appreciation expanded because of her looks and those of her girlfriends from school, but hatred exacerbated in general.

My sister is an A&M graduate, and I spent a fair amount of time around her when she was there. As a result, I've always found their traditions and the atmosphere at Kyle to be very, very cool.

Brother-in-law is an Auburn grad. We are highly competitive re: LSU - Auburn, but my appreciation has nevertheless expanded considerably. As much as he loves winning and absolutely detests losing, he is a true gentleman.



You seem like a good guy.
