Just a silly story about living here and football .......
I'm an Army Brat! While some take offense at that phrase, I always wore it proudly. After my Dad retired from the Army we moved to Ariton, AL. Ariton is a delightful little town just north of Ozark and about 3 miles east of Highway 231. When we moved here from the big city of Pensacola I was the ripe young age of 14. What did I know?
It was the first day of school, going into the 8th grade, traumatic times.... Well I didn't know a soul. I get to my home room class, behave as I should and of course the nice folks of Ariton High School want to get to know the new kid. Now they don't care what my name is, don't ask where I moved from, don't ponder why I'm here. There is just ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION .............. Everyone simply wanted to know. "Who are you for?". Huh?????
"You know, who are you for? Auburn or Alabama?" So there it was my childhood dilemma Auburn or Alabama what?
Well when you move to South Alabama you just have to choose sides. So, who are you for? Auburn? Or Alabama?
