This fall we have played a lot of football...in the backyard as well as in Auburn, Alabama. Tooter thinks he will be a football player at Auburn a few years from now. Notice the orange and blue he is wearing and the Auburn football. How does a six year old decide if he is an Auburn or Alabama fan? Maybe it is the family influence. But then why am I an Auburn fan and my brother is Alabama....same family. Paul is Alabama and I, again, am Auburn but all the boys are Auburn....same family. I think it may be the colors....we just like orange and blue better than red and white. Tigers are better sounding than The Tide. War Eagle is catchier than Roll Tide. And a flying Eagle is more impressive than a fat elephant. It has to be those things. Both schools are exceptional in academics....does that count for anything? Both places are beautiful....does that matter? And both are loads of fun if you are lucky enough to go to school at one or the other. Yeah has to be the other stuff that is the influence. Anyway Tooter has been after that Auburn football position for six whole years now and doesn't seem to be backing off any. And you know he doesn't even write with a red crayon unless his teacher makes him. You go little Aubie.....WAR EAGLE!!! Oh yeah and that is Alabama, Roll Tide Poppy helping him along.
