Gridiron grudges
The neighborhood football equilibrium is shifting, which is good. Neighbor across the street hung out her Tennessee flag, which takes some of the pressure off me. Duplex neighbor (who is also an Auburn fan) was warned by the lawnmower-lesbian-rabid-Bama-fan neighbors "not to antagonize" them... I've lived here for over a year and it seems that my only fault with them 4 months out of the year is that I am an Auburn fan... not even the obnoxious kind, because I want Bama to win if they're not playing Auburn. (For you skeptics out there, this is ENTIRELY possible if you are a)an Aquarius, and b) a fan of the sport, period, end of story). BUT, when it comes down to that day in mid-November when the two go head to head (or, as it was last year, head-to-Brodie Croyle-to-the-ground), I am, was, and always will be for Auburn. Why can't they forgive me? I've loved too deeply for too long. Why can't we, at the end of the day, all just go back to being the Crestwood Yard Nazis like we are the rest of the time?
Went on porch to blog... was joined for a while by my wall-mate. I in my Auburn jersey and cap, she in her orange Auburn tee and blue sweats. I wonder aloud if we will be "antagonizing" the neighbors, when I am quickly told "they will have to get over it".
It's going to be a FUN football season.

to throw them off of your trail, you should put 'go vols' bumper stickers on all of their cars so they focus on the tennessee fans. then you can share their hatred with them.
They actually LIKE the Vols fan that lives across the street... except for the time when she t-p'd their lawn with an orange and white checkerboard. Maybe the FL Gators? EVERYONE hates them...
some people take football games way to seriously. if ya root for auburn good for ya, and if ya root for alabama, also good for ya. personally, im gonna root for whoever wins, which means sadly, im going to have to wait until after the game to decide who to root for. and your neighbors sound like whiny bitches who need something to do besides whine about who you choose to root for.
And to think that football season hasn't even STARTED yet!
if they like the tennessee people... i really question their title as 'auburn fans.'
where do you get orange and white checkered toilet paper??? my butt has been waiting for an innovation like that!
