And what would you have us do


There needs to be leadership on this, from the school, the coaches, the state government. Alabama fans need to stop excusing these as isolated incidents...they're not.

There's a clear trend, and a significant portion of the fan base actually cheering these types of actions as they occur. Which means that they will not only continue to occur, but escalate.

It would be better if the school and the state did something now, rather than after some tragedy caused by a crazed Alabama fan...and it seems you can't separate "crazed" and "Alabama fan" these days.

I've always wondered why Saban hasn't come out and commanded the gumps to be on their best behavior. Go on Finebaum. Condemn Harvey. Condemn the teabagger. Condemn whoever. It would take 5 minutes of his time, and it could do things like... you know... prevent one Alabama fan from KILLING another. Yet, I think secretly all these Alabama grads that claim to be above the fray, secretly want it. They view it as a necessary extension of their success. They secretly fear if the passion dies, so does their program. So Saban stays quiet, and the chaos continues.

We aren't cheering for these people. I don't know where people get this idea. Yeah I know some idiots took a picture with Updyke on Bourbon Street, but that doesn't mean we all condone his actions. I'm sure you know some good Alabama in Louisiana. Do you honestly think they'd do shite like this? I know all LSU fans aren't ALL drunken assholes who throw piss balloons. Why can't other fan bases do the same for us.
