re: PSA: Alabama defense (or lack thereof)

They have the best coach, some of the best facilities, and a perennial powerhouse on the field, and yet the one consistent characteristic of Bama fans I've noted over many years and many visits to the state is that they love to talk shite until there is a perceived weakness. They are so damn defensive and insecure, it's bizarre.

At a tailgate on Saturday, they were all patting themselves on the back, and when I mentioned that I liked what I saw out of both defenses (as an LSU fan), they got so mad and defensive, I felt like I had to console them and reassure them that they were still the greatest ever.
