You always say nice things about the town or venue or whatever where you’re performing. But we’re pretty sure Jeff Foxworthy means what he told media members about the Plains on Wednesday.
The Camp War Eagle superstar will perform at Auburn University, where his daughter is currently a freshman, next week for the 2014 Hudson Family Foundation Benefit Weekend.
Though he attended Georgia Tech and pulls for the Georgia, Foxworthy says the first time he visited Auburn he “just fell in love with it.”
“How can you not like Auburn?” Foxworthy said. “The first time walking around I was like, ‘Dad gum, I could have gone to school here.’”
Foxworthy said his impression of the Auburn community is that it’s unpretentious and genuinely kind.
“Anybody that went to school there, they keep going back,” Foxworthy said. “They all want to live there and I just love that. It’s not like you graduate and never go back, you graduate and you’re there tailgating every football weekend for the rest of your life. I just don’t think most communities or schools have that effect on people.
“There’s just something very special about that. It feels like family.”

I think you got it wrong, or he’s really confused. If he went to to Ga Tech, and cheers for them, they’re the Yellowjackets.
He went to G. Tech but he’s a Georgia fan.
The ONLY good thing about Auburn is the vet school……
Two reasons Aubarn fans move back to Aubarn.
1. Their degrees are worthless so that’s the only place on earth they are accepted.
2. Its the only place for bestiality in the United States that their peers dont judge them, because they participate also.
Classy Bama fans as usual, taking time out of their day to read Auburn articles. I guess they’ve always got a sec for Auburn!
You guys are fucking stupid. Auburns one of the top 50 smartest cities in the country. Most people who live in Auburn aren’t your dumb rednecks like you think most people in Alabama are. I have a degree in actuarial science from Auburn and one of the most stable jobs around.
