I vote we just keep updating the OP as more things happen.

It shall be bumped throughout the season, that's for sure.

Yep. Substance, format and title of this thread are all top notch.



I really like the color and spacing motif used for the OP as well. The contrast between black and blue on the white background and double spacing are top notch. The placement of gifs gets a 9/10 from me.. it needs more raw emotion. When I open the OP on my journey to new information, I want to be taken through a story, a story of images, a story that makes you feel something. I want laughter, I want tears, I want story progression that I can use to naturally pass this saga on to my grand children. But it's a good start nonetheless. I don't expect Coen Brothers level shite from an online forum, so this is quite satisfying for what it is. Well done OP, well done.

This is a beautiful thread



In one sense it is and in one sense it isn't. In the sense that posters here revel in criminal activity, murder, etc. because they derive pleasure from it being committed by a fan of a hated rival, it isn't beautiful. In the sense it is a testament to the level Bama football has reached, it is.

You don't get it.

It's sorta like this:

AU fans have ALWAYS said or thought we are better than bama fans as a fanbase and it isn't even close. Bama fans would respond with there isn't much difference between the two fanbases. That should tell you something right there. A bama fan just wants to be compared to an AU fan while an AU fan does not want to be associated with the bama fanbase in general.

Most AU fans have always laughed and said bullshite, there is a world of difference between the two fanbases. This has been going on forever. I remember as a kid growing up in the late 80's it was the same.

AU fan: We are nothing like you.
Bama fan: There isn't much difference between the fanbases.

AU fan: Most of your fanbase is made up of people that have never set foot in a classroom in Tuscaloosa and a lot of them don't give a shite about the University.
Bama fan: Everyone has their crazies, we are no different than anyone else.

AU fan: bullshite.

Everyone lumps the two together because you are in the same state

I know. I am well aware of this and do not like it.

I have lived outside of the state for over a decade (since graduating from AU).

I have gotten it many many times. When I say AU grad and fan I'm lumped in with the more vocal and visible tadd fanbase. And that is NOT a good thing. I am quick to state that the two universities and fanbases are nothing alike and that AU is actually in Georgia.

Might add another page to the thread.

That was my contribution though, back to work.

You shouldn't be proud of this level, it's a new low unmatched by any other fan base.

I'm not sure why ATPB ever became as big as it was.. quite boring after a while.

Well I have said it before and will say it again.

I feel for the Bama fans that are also lumped into this. But the evidence for the whole is overwhelming to say the least.
