Touching story, I would do the same. There’s a lot of other Boring stuff in that article but here’s the highlight:

quote:

One LSU family captured the hearts of fans when a picture went viral. Baby Stephen McKenzie is being held with his feet in a box of dirt. Some might argue it’s holy ground. The soil came from outside Alex Box Stadium, according to Stephen’s father, Rhett. In the Facebook post, Rhett said, “He was born in Alabama, but no way could he first touch Alabama ground.”

Rhett said his parents “got a few handfuls of dirt in a Ziplock bag before heading to Alabama.” Stephen was born on July 30, 2012, in Birmingham.
The picture sat on Facebook for seven years before it went viral. Rhett said right before the magical 2019 season, he got thousands of notifications on Facebook.

Too bad he will probably be a bama grad and root against LSU all of his adult life.

Trashy. Going to bet neither parent ever stepped foot in an LSU classroom.

Rhett is a lifelong LSU fan whose father, grandfather, aunts, and uncles all went to LSU. According to Rhett, his father saw Billy Cannon’s famous run, and his uncle played baseball for Skip Bertman at LSU.

Rhett’s wife Lauren grew up a Bama fan.
