current single: “DAMN GOOD DAY TO LEAVE”
College football season is officially underway, and Alabama native Riley Green has the distinction of being one of the only Auburn fans in his family. Riley talks about being a War Eagle fan in a Crimson Tide loving family, and why he’s not too vocal about cheering for Auburn.
Riley Green – Auburn fan :20
“It’s funny, my whole family is Alabama fans. I don’t know where I came from with the Auburn thing, but one thing that’s really cool about Alabama is the passion for the college football. And it’s cool to grow up in a state like that where college football’s got that much tradition. But, you know, also, you’ve got to be a little bit careful. You can’t lean too much one way or the other. You cut your fans in half. I got shows in Tuscaloosa, too. You know, I’ve got to remain a little bit neutral.”
Riley had to be pleased with Auburn’s season opener blowout against Alabama A&M, which ended with a staggering score of 73 – 3. But he also knows their schedule is only going to get tougher as the season progresses.
