It is that time of year. Auburn and Alabama are battling for bragging rights. Today the Loveliest Village in the plains will turn into a madhouse of Orange & Blue, and Crimson & White. Everyone in the state will choose sides... no backing down.
I have mentioned before that Bill and I are a house divided. This is the ONE day of the year that we don't see eye to eye (well, the 'one day' might be an exaggeration) This is the day we need to watch the game in separate rooms, maybe even separate houses.
I am an Auburn-raised-Auburn-graduated-Auburn-haired girl.
Bill is a Bear-bread-Bear-believer-Alabama fan.
These ties go way back. My dad was 'the Colonel' on Auburn's campus, and I was raised in the shadow of the Jordon-Hare Stadium. Mom knew to buy extra toilet paper during football season, because we would be rolling Toomer's Corner with every win. Orange is the color to wear every weekend.
Bill and the whole McMichael clan have always been Alabama fans... one of MaryJoan's first words were 'Roll Tide'. They are a part of the SabanNation and would never be caught wearing orange.
This game is what it's all about. There are no national championships at stake, but that makes it no less important. Alabama has the last 5 years to revenge, Auburn has an overall record to improve.
Today is about 365 days of bragging rights.
War Eagle Y'all!

What a cute picture Sandi!
My friends Dan and Christy are both Auburn grads and huge fans!!!
ROLL TIDE! HOO YA!
We're a house divided too, although we both graduated from Auburn? BTW, who was "The Colonel" at Auburn?
My sister and I both went to Auburn and my brother-in-law did the flyover this year at the Iron Bowl. He was the F-18 on the right.
War Eagle!!!!!
NO WAY!
Holley that is impressive!
Janet~ 'the colonel'-my dad-was the head of AirForceROTC, back in the day. That is how I grew up.
