Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend, former Miss Alabama and model Katherine Webb, went to Auburn University, which is Alabama’s fiercest rival.

In Alabama, the union between a man from Alabama and a woman from Auburn is usually referred to as a mixed-marriage. 

Webb, though, says the couple have been referred to as “the Romeo and Juliet of Alabama.” 

There may be one problem with that comparison–Romeo and Juliet’s relationship did not end too well.
