re: Auburn fans - Georgia or Bama?

Living less than 30 minutes from Auburn, I'll say the Georgia fans are the ones that both Alabama and Auburn fans hate the most.

New Jersey has a similar relationship with New York that Alabama has with Georgia. Folks in New Jersey can't quite earn enough money to live in New York and know that New Jersey would be even more backward than it is if it weren't for its physical location in relation to the Empire State. They have a well earned inferiority complex due to their knowledge of their own limitations. Alabama is similar to New Jersey in their relationship with the Empire State of the South. The entire region is in a similar situation but it is especially so of Alabama. South Carolina has a double edged sword as they are a backwater wasteland sandwiched between two very successful and accomplished neighbors. At least Alabama can look to the west and say "we aint mississippi"....
