First and foremost congratulation to the National Champions University of Alabama. In a move not normal for my family we decided to have a little football party and watch the game. Its unique in my house in the fact that non of us are really into football. I’m originally from Texas, my daughter goes to Birmingham Southern, and my wife only has family who graduated from Auburn. So no real tie to UA except the fact that we are proud Alabamians.
So I’m sure you are wondering, what does this have to do with the Redneck Award? Well the Austin Statesman has a Columnist aka Joke named John Kelso who wrote an article “As far as rednecks go, Alabama may have UT beat“. Well he got it wrong.
You see under normal circumstances my family would have been “War Eagle” all the way, simply because that is where the majority of our family members have graduated and/or attended. Being that Auburn was done for the year, had no chance of going to or seeing the National Championship, we stood behind the other team. You see Auburn, is in Alabama the state. Alabama the school is also in Alabama..
What I never expected to see was the disrespect, the total lack of loyalty to the state, and the complete ignorance that I saw on twitter and Facebook from Auburn fans! One tweeter that was a stand out, and someone who thinks they represent Auburn was @WarBlogle.
At one time they say “Bama fans…you are the only reason we pull against your team. Not the players, not even the coaches. YOU.” … hum really?
As a person looking from the outside in… let me just say Kettle let me introduce you to Pot. So it is Auburn Fans that gets the Redneck award. At least if I was handing it out.
