Are YOU a Gators fan? Let's start there.When did you become a Gators fan? What is your earliest recollection of how and when you became a Gators fan?
What would your dad have said if you told him you were going to Bama?December 2002. I was a born and raised Auburn fan. Dad told me I could go to any school I wanted to as long as it was an SEC school and had a scholarship. All I had for Auburn was 1/3 off in state as a legacy or Bright Futures in Florida. Made the choice very easy. Transferred my diehard fandom the day I received my acceptance letter to the only school I applied for.
Nothing after he disowned me. Probably a few choice words before he declared disownership.What would your dad have said if you told him you were going to Bama?
I'd say you made a wise choice.Nothing after he disowned me. Probably a few choice words before he declared disownership.
Bama wasn’t realistic, even if I had wanted to go there. I was a Florida resident. Auburn’s legacy program allows for legacy students to get automatic in state and 1/3 off that cost. Still, that left me with 2/3 of tuition, books, housing, etc to pay for. At Florida, Bright Futures covered 100% of tuition and books. National Merit covered most other things. I left college with only 1 maxed out CC from bar tabs to pay for. Not bad.
