One of the weirdest things to me about Montana is that there are no Auburn fans. Just kidding. There's weirder things but it definitely is different. Not only are there not Auburn fans, there aren't Alabama, Tennessee or any other SEC fans, really. Why would there be?
And that's why it was so special to hear a "War Eagle" the other day at Costco. This sweet old man serving free samples offered us to taste his product and then said "War Eagle!" With food still in our mouths, we smiled and gave him a "war eagle" back. Paul's hat and my sweatshirt had given us away as fans and sure enough, he was an Auburn alumni, too. We talked for a while about Auburn's unfortunate football season, where he was from in Alabama and just enjoyed a little taste of home right here in Montana. To share that instant connection and love for a school, regardless of our disappointing football season, reminded me of why I love Auburn so much.
The Auburn family really is everywhere, even in Montana. War Eagle!!
Love and Happiness,
Bethany
