The only team I hate more than Auburn is Tennessee. So you do the
math on the SECCG.
Rolltide anyway.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in
life, as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to
succeed.

Subject: [RollTideFan] The Iron
Bowl
As a member of a "house divided" I have a
slightly different angle on the Iron Bowl. My dad, brother, and I
graduated from Bama. My sister graduated from AllBarn. Her son
goes to LSU. My 2 daughters are at AllBarn. One graduates in Dec,
before they lose the accreditation <g>. My son plans to go to
Bama, starting in 2007. My kids' friends from HS and around are divided
in loyalty as well. So, regrettably, I have to try to enjoy AllBarn's
great season, since it makes my girls happy. We all tailgated together
yesterday, and all the AllBarn fans I spoke to and saw were pleasant.
One inescapable reality to them: they are likely going to be closed out
of the MNC game, despite the best season imaginable.
I would like to criticize all the Bama ticket
holders that sold their tix to Barners. BDS seemed 1/3 for the
Barn. I hope they paid through the nose to get in. Any Bama fan
who made money off a Barner on their ticket should send the money straight to
Crimson Tradition. And, to Bama fans who did attend: next time it
rains, be sure you have a crimson or clear poncho. Putting on a poncho
in traffic-safety orange or some blue color, or even yellow, makes the
usually crimson-and-white-clad stadium surreal.
After some great tailgating after the game, my
group went to Dreamland for a late snack. Yum. Talked to an older
pair of couples in the parking lot...one Tide couple and one Barner
couple. They have been to 35 straight Iron Bowls together! Wonder
where they eat on the Plains?
We will do well next year...and Auburn
won't. Hold the rop...I mean, keep the faith.
