Daniel Geddes, Bama WR: "I'd rather have 10,000 faithful, optimistic fans than 100,000 negative, critical fans."
He has said nothing wrong and I'm sure he echos what the rest of the team is thinking.
As a player I hated, absolutely hated the fans who only supported when we were winning, then turned on us at every loss. I'm sure they feel the same.

Who has turned on them? It's going to be a sellout regardless of our record. People get pissed when we lose. It can't be rainbows and butterflies 24/7 unless we win every game we play for the remainder of mankind.

You must have missed the meltdown videos, the meltdown tweets, hell even the meltdown on here.
As a player, especially when you're busting you're arse the last thing you're trying to read or hear is some of your fans saying your season is basically over because of one loss.
It sets a precedent that basically if they don't go undefeated every season, it is trouble, they don't care and the fans should abandon.
For them it's quite the irony that some people who don't even have the spine to continue to believe, support and not give up are making great demands from you as a player.
Anyways, I hope they can use this to create an us against the world mentality.

If this doesn't do it (make them play with a chip), then nothing will. It's been a long time since I can remember ever seeing this much "blood in the water" with respect to Alabama football. Every other fanbase out there is chomping at the bit to declare Alabama's run over. How many times can you see an opposing fanbase storm the field in your face. That has to be infuriating for the players.
Would be glorious to rebound, run the table, and win another championship this year. Right now that doesn't look likely, but how sweet it would be.
I'll say it again, there are plenty of teams left on the schedule that can beat Bama, but there isn't one team that Bama can't beat if we play our A game. Going to be fun to see how it plays out.

I feel like we said that after Auburn and then Oklahoma too.

Uh, Auburn and Oklahoma were last season. This is a new season.
You got to let that go.

It would be fantastic. To be honest, even more sweeter because how our own fans reacted.

Now THAT is the spirit.
People want to obsess about what we can't do after this loss. I get we aren't perfect, but neither is any other team we're facing and the major ones have to come to OUR house and take it from us.
I know I believe in these guys.

They shouldn't be focused on the fans. I think if you asked anyone in any profession or walk of life whether they'd rather have backers than critics you would get a unanimous answer. Kid needs to quit whining on Twitter. Don't want to hear him preach about "faithful" either. We sell out every Saturday and have for quite some time. Our optimism towards the team is controlled by the play of the team.
I'm all for positive vibes but shite like that just rubs me the wrong way. Apparently he has never heard Saban say "worry about what you can control" If they want optimism they should focus on becoming the team they're capable of being. I don't think anyone is writing them off in October. We're going to show up in Bryant Denny and watch either way.
These kids have as much support as any team in the country, they go out and lay an egg and this kid gets his feelings hurt when fans aren't pumping sunshine. I wasn't even mad saturday, disappointed is a better word.
And that's all I have to say about that.
