As an Ole Miss fan (I did send them a lot of money for five years) I got to see some SEC football games. My observations:
1. Alabama has cuter cheerleaders than does Auburn.
2. Alabama's fans are a tiny bit less obnoxious than Auburn's.
But both programs are notorious for cheating and recruiting violations. These are usually covered up, but Alabama's were so egregious this time that they couldn't be overlooked.
BTW, BY FAR the MOST OBNOXIOUS FANS belong to the Univ. of Arkansas & their cheerleaders tend to look like their mascot.
i will NEVER forget the year we went to Fayetteville & they refused to sell us GAS at a couple of service stations, only because we were towing a trailer, laden with a statue of a WAR EAGLE eating a hog! U of AR folks have NO sense of humor PERIOD!
