Having been born and raised in Louisiana and lived many of my years in Alabama, I believe this article to be pretty spot on. I don't know of a place more obsessed with college football than Bama land. And I don't mean that in a disparaging way, no matter how much I loathe your football team and certain fans I can't help but run into. I actually happen to like quite a few Bama fans, as long as we don't talk football.

ROLL DEAD TIDE

Really though, that Alabama story is creepy. Who does that?

I then watched Suzan — clearly a bit frightened, but determined — reach into her pocket, pull out the plastic baggie holding John’s remains and empty its contents onto the field.

“Excuse me, but did you just pour someone’s ashes out onto the field?” I asked before Suzan and Ted could scurry away unnoticed.

“Yes, I did; it was my husband,” she replied nervously, her voice cracking slightly. “I was worried I’d get arrested doing this, but he loved Alabama football and wanted to have his ashes spread on the field here. I was worried I’d get arrested, but this was his dying wish, and I didn’t want him to haunt me for the rest of my life if I didn’t do it.”

Whats the big deal. I fully intend for my ashes to be spread over Auburn. I mean that SERIOUSLY. Wife is to hire a small airplane and my ashes are to be sprinkled over JHS from Altitude.

#1 While I would argue LSU fans are in the top 5 in the nation in terms of passion, maybe even as high as #2, it definitely doesn't dominate the community like it does with Alabama, so you would have to put them #1

#2 I intend to have my ashes spread on the parade grounds

Thanks for posting the article link. As a Bama alum, I embrace my obsession. I was a student when Coach Bryant was still coaching, and I've loved The University and Tuscaloosa since the first time I went there.

As we were leaving A-Day this year, there was a little white-haired lady in a Bama t-shirt walking down the ramp with one of those rolling walkers. I pointed her out to my Bama grad son and said, "That's me in twenty years. Just drop me off and I'll see you after the game,"

Will not try to argue this point. No fanbase is more passionate about College Football than Alabama. Does not make it feel any better to lose to them though.

Cannot believe this hasn't been mentioned in 11 pages..

About each respective team's fan days

quote:

The first fan in line at L.S.U. was Tuck Freyer, a lawyer. He had claimed his spot around 8:30 a.m. His counterpart at Alabama, Bobby Hunter, a Walmart employee, arrived four days before the event to be first in line.
