Alabama personality disorder...

this is truth

And the collective LSU fanbase must suffer from Histrionic Personality Disorder...

Some hallmarks of this particular disorder are:

-Being overly dramatic and emotional

-Being overly sensitive to criticism or disapproval

-Blaming failure or disappointment on others (frickIN REFS!)

-The excessive need for reassurance or approval

-Needing to be the center of attention

-Quickly changing emotions, which may seem shallow to others (Jefferson SUCKS KILL HIM! Jefferson is the GREATEST EVUH! LEE SUCKS! WE LOVE LEE!)

-Tendency to overindulge in alcohol or other mind-altering substances

This is fun. Let's do the other fanbases.

LSU Inferiority Complex

..... or LIC:

An inferiority complex, in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, is a feeling that one is inferior to others in some way. Such feelings can arise from an imagined or actual inferiority in the afflicted person. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme schizotypal behavior, or both. Unlike a normal feeling of inferiority, which can act as an incentive for achievement (or promote discouragement), an inferiority complex is an advanced state of discouragement, often embedding itself into one's lifestyle, and sometimes resulting in a retreat from difficulties.

Louisiana has room to talk. Creole, coonass, redneck, swamp people, French but American, cajun, and then some good people. Pick a fricking culture!

No problem. It is possible to have more than one mental disorder. I do not deny that the Bama fanbase is a case study in many, but I INSIST that other fanbases own up to their own twisted psyches.
