I'm not a judgmental person, and I don't honestly feel this way, and I know it's illogical, but subconsciously, when I see someone in Alabama gear, the first thought that comes to my head is: "Redneck." Same for someone wearing camouflage gear out in public unless they are actually on a hunting trip or in the military.

We were in Daphne last night eating at Boudreaux's before the game and there was a guy in there wearing an Alabama hat, shirt and jacket. I walked up to him as we left and asked who he was going to be pulling for tonight... grin He thought I was serious.


So what do you have against Rednecks?
