re: Bruce Pearl is surprisingly political and vocal on Twitter

For clarity he is a messanic Jew.

Aka - believes Jesus is God

Clemson is Auburn with a lake

If you haven’t heard him do an interview on politics you should look one up. He did the clay and buck show a few weeks ago for sure. I used to dislike him when he was at UT, but have grown to like him the last few years. He’s a good dude, and genuinely seems to care for his players also.

Texas A&M is pretty conservative.
I have spent far more time there than at Auburn, so I can't speak to if it is more so than Auburn.

Texas, UGA, Missouri and UF would be my guesses. UF is so huge that I assume they have to have a sizable lib population, but with Florida's rightward lurch maybe that's proceeding at a slower pace that one might think. Certainly UF has been less culturally traditional than AU, UA, Ole Miss, etc.

I tell this story all the time, but when I was in school at UGA, I took great pride in the fact that some Auburn kids had to travel to UGA to join the other crazies for protests. They were quoted in the red and black (UGA student paper) as saying they drive to Athens for the events because Auburn students aren't receptive and they can't get enough protestors to make it worthwhile.

Cool brotato chip. Maybe read some other schools creeds as well. They all say similar

Auburn is the most conservative university in the conference and it’s not even close.

Obviously Bruce is going to be Pro-Israel

Ole Miss is more conservative than Auburn.

That's probably all true. Culturally, what matters is whether your kid can go to a school and mesh with the groups they'll likely mesh with and find lots and lots of space for traditionalist and conservative viewpoints.

That's likely the case almost everywhere in the SEC. It's certainly still the case at Auburn, although I'm sure less than when we were there.

The greek systems are pretty conservative everywhere in the South. And the SEC being the heart of the last gasp of greek systems in American collegiate life, that provides an easy pathway for students to let their traditionalist flags fly without peer pressure to veer left.

Now, outside of the greek systems it gets more questionable. Auburn (and I'm sure MSU, Ole Miss, etc.) still have a very strong Christian presence, so there are plenty of both normal and nerdy non-greek kids of a wholesome, Christian orientation for students to get into peer groups with. And while there is lots of growth in the "progressive Christian" area all over the country, in the Deep South going to Christian student groups is still going to be well to the right of average student life elsewhere.

Alabama is a red state and will always be one.

Auburn is a true conservative school and will always be that way. For that, they should be applauded
