Orange


I live in the south, the deep south.

Down here orange around this time of year means something altogether different from changing leaves and pumpkins

Orange stands for tradition, family, football.

The shade of orange is important, very important.

Too bright it's the Gators

Too much brown it's the Vols

But this, the perfect shade of orange stands for the Auburn Tigers.

The team I have been taught to cheer for since I was 4 years old.

And that is a beautiful thing.

WARRRRR EAGLE!!!!!

  2. Well I 'm sitting on the fence on this one. Being from Alabama, living in the deep south myself. I don't watch football but my husband is for Auburn and my daughter and son-n-law are huge Alabama fans, as is my bestest friend! So...I enjoy riding the fence and watching the battle! Great show of orange!
