< <Well put... < < < < < < < < < < Driving back from Auburn to Birmingham tonight, obviously disappointed < < with the Tiger's performance, I noticed a sheet with a spray < < painted message on it hanging in the yard of a trailer park in < < Childersburg on US < < 280. Maybe some of you saw it as well. The message: "Auburn sucks". My < < first thought was "That is really typical of most Bama fans; a < < bunch of < < inbred, trailer trash, redneck losers-in-life with a foul mouths." < <About < < five miles up the road, in Harpersville, a group of similar looking < <people < < were gathered at the towns only stop light on 280, and were < <screaming < < obscenities and holding up "Auburn sucks" and "Roll Tide" signs. Then < <I < < started thinking about what it means to be an Auburn fan, and to love < < Auburn. I realized how truly blessed we are to be Auburn people. While < < we stereotype Bama fans as above (and are sometimes correct in our < < assumptions), we must remember that most of them haven't had or seized < <the < < same opportunities as we have. Most of us are privileged to have had < <the < < opportunity to attend Auburn, attend Auburn events, and/or experience the < < Auburn atmosphere. 99% of Alabama fans will never set foot on a college < < campus and have no idea where Tuscaloosa is even located. As Auburn < < people, we don't place our own self worth on whether our team wins or < < loses. We love Auburn no matter what. Lets count our blessings and < < remember that It's Great to be an Auburn Tiger!
