Robert Gibbs is from Auburn, Alabama but did not go there. If I was an Auburn Alum I would be happy to say he didn't go to Auburn because he is an arse.

From Wikipedia:
"Steven Soderbergh was born on January 14, 1963, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, the second of six children, and while still at a very young age, his family moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where his father, Peter Soderbergh, was a professor and the dean of the College of Education at Louisiana State University. While still in high school, around the age of 15, Soderbergh enrolled in the university's film animation class and began making short 16-millimeter films with second-hand equipment, one of which was the short film "Janitor." After graduating high school, he went to Hollywood, where he worked as a freelance editor. "
