Compare And Contrast Alabama Fan

Auburn University has many traditions that go way back. The history behind these tradi-tions is what makes Auburn such a great atmosphere. Most of the traditions do involve football, but some have their own meaning and were started randomly a long time ago. Before every home football game, an eagle flies from the middle of the field, all the way around the football stadium, and back to the middle of the field. This is known as Eagle Flight and is meant to be a signal to all of the fans that the football game is within minutes of starting. This tradition has been around for almost 100 years. The most famous eagle was Tiger, who was the 6th eagle to fly around the stadium. Tiger flew from 1986-2006, and in her last game there was a moment of si-lence for her. Now an eagle named Spirit flies around before games and is very popular among fans because of her bright white head and tail feathers, which is different than most bald eagles. Another tradition is the wrapping of Toomer’s Corner with toilet paper, called Rolling Toomer’s. This is the most famous tradition in all of college football. After every game that Auburn football wins, students meet up at the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and College Street. This became popular in 1972 after Auburn beat Alabama in a close, 17-16, game. The reason toilet paper is used is because an Auburn running back said before the big Alabama game “we’re gonna beat the No. 2 out of

It was the biggest game of the year, what every person wants to win, the championship. The score is tied 24-24 and the Idaho Hawks had the ball on twenty one yard line. It was third down and five and they ran the ball for only two yards and it was fourth down. They went for the field goal and got it. The score was 27-24 and the Texas Rams were ready to receive to it. On the return they ran for twenty yards. With only five seconds left the quarterback, John Halen, threw the ball to James Morgan. Morgan outran the cornerback and with no time left Morgan at the five yard line dropped the ball. The Hawks won, they were the champions.

The United States of America has many different landscapes, weather, and landmarks according to the area they are located. Although, Florida and Alabama are fairly close together and have many similarities, they have vast differences as well. There is just something about the Florida sun and weather that pulls me in. The atmosphere in Alabama is much different than the atmosphere in Florida. The people, the places, the sunshine, and the water are all different, but yet somewhat the same. The activities vary along with the landscape and nature.

      The game of football is clearly the most popular sport around the United States. The subject of college football versus professional football includes a topic of many debates among football fans across America. Each individual has their own opinion on which they prefer.

Bravery is not inherent, it is rather acquired from the circumstances or situation faced in the life. People face lot of problems in their lives and to cope with those situations and move in with one's life is the sheer example of being brave.  The same has been depicted by both the authors in their respective books. First by Kaye Gibbons in her very famous book "Ellen Foster" where in the protagonist is shown as homeless girl with no one to take care of, yet she finds a way to live her life and find herself a house worth living. Second, by Mark twain in his

Alabama has had success of recruiting players, for example some of the Hall of Famers Ozzie Newsome, Joe Namath, and Derrick Thomas (Heos p.25). They have had some other players that are not yet Hall of Famers Julio Jones and Amari Cooper (Heos p.32). The reason most of these top players they getting to go to their school is because look at how they have had. They have won the most Championships and some of the best coaches (Maisel p.1). They have also had some of the best players have played there and went into the NFL (Heos 1).

A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports. College football has gained the reputation for becoming the most celebrated sport. The best way to celebrate a college football game is tailgating. Tailgating and college football have become such a tradition that it is hard to see one happening

My side is Auburn, your side may be ‘Bama, but let me ask you this, what’s more important, statistics and championships, or close friendships and having the most fun possible while getting great grades? To me statics are important but friends and family are more important. That’s why I’m Auburn.

The outlining issue here is the Confederate Flag and its perception amongst the Alabama population. Debating on whether the flag should be taken down in respect to citizen who are offended because of its close relation to the history of slavery in America. The opposing side felt that it is a part of southern/the south’s history, pride and should be honored. Also, the opposing side feels that with other issues happening in the community; this debate is not something that should take priority over what they believe were severe matters.

South Alabama today is full of discrimination, confederate flags, and hatred towards black people. Many white Americans in the south will argue that the confederate flag represents their “culture” and their historical background, which I find ludicrous. The confederate flag flew under the laws of the confederacy where racism and slavery were openly accepted, if not encouraged, in the states of the confederacy. People that encourage the flight of the confederate flag have not considered that part of history in their argument for why the flag is flown. Instead, they argue some ridiculous claims that the flag represents a time where the south was at its “most successful point in history.” As many can tell, I believe that this sorry excuse to be racist is a load of poppycock. I know that not all people who believe in the flight of the confederate flag are racist, but the majority that does support this is racist.

The SEC is arguably the best Division I Conference in all of college football. They are consistently ranked as one of the top five teams and has one of the toughest schedules in football.

“Sunny and 75 with bright blue skies today is a great way to start off the college football season”, says a sports analyst on the tv from a tent in the tailgating section. Walking down the strip peeking through the trees seeing a glimpse of the arena reminded me of a modernized colosseum. Approaching the main entrance greeted by a metal statue and a stadium with a dark shade of brick with countless of doors and glass windows. Many Lovie Smith propaganda is seen around the stadium along with the array of Illinois gear. “Welcome to Memorial stadium, it’s game day for your Fighting Illini”, said the announcer. My stomach dropped for the fact that college football is officially back.

"One must return to the past in order to move forward", is an old African proverb that has been used to explain the purpose of studying history. This African proverb not only refers to the study of American history, but also the study of one's family history. Another saying that has been used to refer to the study of history is, "You must learn your history, or you are bound to repeat it." These principles can apply to education as well. The purpose of attending college is to receive a formal education. The proper approach to begin college level studies is to learn your school's history. Enlightenment of the difficulties and barriers during the early stages of a school's development; in
