My online name is AuburnChick.

In the past, it’s been assumed, by some, that I gave myself this nickname because I have auburn hair.

I do not.

My long-time bloggy friends might remember that I grew up in Alabama.  When I moved there, I quickly discovered the following truth:

You become an Auburn or Alabama fan either by birth or by a split-second decision.

Because I was not a native Alabamian, I fell into the second category.

You see, it matters not in which way you enter the Iron Bowl family.

What matters is that your choice affects the generation after you…namely your own progeny.

Observe the following Facebook conversation, which transpired immediately after the Auburn/Alabama game, between my Chicky and one of her friends:

Chicky’s Status: It’s great to be an Auburn tiger!!

Friend: haha since when?

Chicky: Since always

Nuff said.

Except for one more thing…

WAR EAGLE!!!
