The reason why AU is my second favorite team is that most of my friends here are graduates of AU. Those AU fans had nothing but good things to say about LSU and they told me that LSU represented the conference well. I also know some Bama fans. While they aren't the nicest that I've ever met, I'm sick of them always telling me that Miles won with Saban's players. Apparently it is over their heads when I ask who coached Saban's players? Overall both fan bases have treated me well. Being 40 miles from AU, I'm in the middle of AU country. I've been to the AU campus quite a few times. While not nearly being the size of LSU, the campus is very nice. Their new basketball arena that hasn't opened yet is really nice. Their baseball park is very nice. Even though it is not the size of the new Box, the facility is first class. I walked through the campus wearing my LSU shirt. I did not intend to wear the shirt there but I had it on when my neighbor's daughter asked me if I wanted her to show me around since she goes there. While walking through the campus I heard a couple of Geaux Tigers. Overall I've had a positive experience with the AU fan base.

Bama getting first coverage reminds me of living in New Orleans when Tulane was decent and the sports always started off with a story about LSU. Apparently AU is the Tulane of Alabama. Thank God AU had enough sense never to bolt from the conference. Bolting from the SEC was the demise of Tulane. I bet the old timers at Ga. Tech still wish they were in the SEC.
