I do get the whole family analogy. However I hear Roll Tide and a smile to follow everywhere I go even when we were not doing so well. I feel the family thing came around years ago when Auburn was really second fiddle to Alabama and the only fans of Auburn had a tie to the University. However times have changed and the Auburn family has grown to include people who have no tie to the university. I know when I set foot on the campus of the Capstone (another reason Auburn was really second fiddle not a poke) I feel like I am home. So I am not sure Auburn has cornered the market on family and your campus feels better or whatever but you are saying you love the University which is what all fans say about their University.
