On a side note, I've lived in the Middle TN area since 1994 and there has always been a large BAMA following here. You see the tags, the hats, the shirts....hell, there's a bar called Wilhagen's that is literally a BAMA bar. Dude graduated from BAMA and his bar has nothing but BAMA stuff on the walls. In 1999 or so, when we played South Carolina and it wasn't even on PPV, he got a satellite feed and it was THE ONLY place in town to watch it.
That said, there isn't an "auburn" bar around. auburn crap was hard to find and see. Lately, they're out in full force since they've been doing well the past 5 years. It's time to put the barn gear back in the closet. I'm sick of seeing it. Everyone up here that knows me knows that even through the crappy years, my tag was BAMA and I had the same BAMA stickers on either side of my slider window. My new truck is as red as they get. But these Johnny-come-lately barners are starting to get under my skin. Time to put them back in their hole. Many of my friends are ut folk, and they have noticed it, too. The barner sitings used to be few and far between, and that's how we liked it......and that's how I want it again.
