Honestly, if I see someone up here in VA (or when I was in OK) wearing AU gear, I'll usually greet them - and be glad there's someone around who understands real SEC football.
When I lived in Georgia (Newnan area) the AU fans I encountered were complete twats and tools. Some were cool though. I think they were trying to overcompensate for being around so many UGA and GT fans.
When I lived in Alabama (B'ham suburbs, Alabaster) I had friends from both fandoms and we never cared one way or another. The Iron Bowl was the only day we talked trash, and even then it never meant much. We'd hang out the next day regardless of who won and not give a crap.
I can't speak much on rural Alabama, but suburbia Alabama both fanbases were indistinguishable from each other except what color hats and shirts they wore on gameday.

well that's the thing about going to high school in the BHam area - half your friend went to Auburn and the other half went to Bama
...well it's not exactly half and half some poor morons end up at Jeff State and I had a few Auburn and Alabama friends had a lil too much fun and ended up either at a community college or the Ur arse is Back program
