telling tiger 156 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My name is Clive. Grew up in Elba, AL. My father attended and graduated from 'ole API after WWII on the GI Bill. Thanks dad! I graduated from a smaller, closer to home college. Thanks dad! I have spent the last appr 30 yrs in NW Louisiana " rebuking the blasphemers". Personal observation: LSU fans have two things in common with bammers. First, a loss is always blamed on a combination of poor officiating and their better athletes that underperformed. (NEVER will they give any credit to a team that actually spanks them.) Secondly, they lack objectivity about almost all topics. My first AU Football Game was a season home opener against the Moccasins from Chattanooga in the early sixties. Thanks dad. Great memories from the Gator Bowl trip, Pat & Terry led Tigers vs Ole Miss led by a cast wearing Archie Manning. Thanks dad. Several others along the way. Was invited by some dear bammer neighbors to attend the Punt Bama Punt Iron Bowl. Awesome. Thanks Dad for letting me go. Man, I miss my dad. My mama used to bake cookies and send them to some of the players. This was around the time back when Lionel ' Little Train' James was playing. Man, I miss my mama too. She hated the other schools and their fans! Wow a realist. Welcome and War Eagle my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicerj 0 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I live in Raleigh, NC and graduated from Auburn in 1965. I recently was on a cruise and had on a Auburn tee when I heard "War Eagle". There were 2,800 passangers from all over the world but as I have always heard anywhere you go, there will be another Was Eagle. We found several that day.

volsung 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hey, all. I went to Auburn off and on for about 13 years, but at least I did manage to get a bachelor's and master's out of the deal. Graduated in '99 and '04, respectively. I was never a college football fan until I went to Auburn (was always more of an NFL fan). Now, I'm living in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado with my wife (got her master's and doctorate from AU) and our 8-year old daughter. It's cute watching the Colorado/Colorado St. "rivalry" out here.

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm Allen Holman. Born in York Al. My dad graduated from Auburn back in '34. My brother, who by the way was editor of the Plainsman in '76 and was also a Spade, graduated in '76. I caught the 3 'CO' disease while at Auburn-college football, coeds, and cold beer. And not necessarily in that order. So I didn't attain the heights of the older brother. But I did graduate in '83. Currently am married with 3 children and live in Nederland, Tx I was a Beta for all you frat boys out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleNic 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 <-- Nic from Albany, GA. Unfortunately I never went to AU, or any college for that matter. I wasn't exactly the one who had his priorities straight after high school . That being said I had a couple of people from back then who were big AU fans and it kind of just rubbed off on me over time and the rest as they say, is history.

Wareagletd 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Wow. Just found this thread, but my name is Matthew, and I live in Albany, GA. I first got attracted to AU because of the colors, and when you're 5 blue goes great with anything. I am, I guess what you would call the black sheep in my family. The rest of my family members are thUGA fans. They like the braves, I like the dodgers. I am a huge sports fan, and I love to have a good discussion about anything AU. Just from experience, the members of this site are great( even Golf) and this is the best AU sports site on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
