No you actually tried to distinguish yourself from others. You made a statement that eluded to being an alum was a higher, more distinguished category than being a fan.

Correct. So if you are alum then represent the university well because you have ties to it. You weren't born into being an Alabama fanatic, like its a bloodline. Having a more credible opinion about Alabama football falls under how close you are to the program. I like the Braves, but I don't play for them, don't live in Atlanta, and don't know anyone personally who currently plays for them. I do not claim to be a Braves fan. I like to watch the Braves because they are close to Alabama. Same goes for any other sports team I pull for. Alabama football is the only thing that effects my mood that day. Saying that, I am better than your typical Alabama side walker, sorry bout it. If you think its arrogance then good for you. Don't bother replying with that because it is clear to me that some people with low self esteems get their feelings hurt over what someone on a slow day at work types on their computer. Save it for someone else.

Once someone posted a negative response to your original post you went on to defend it. So apparently you do care what others have to say, which I am sure this post will warrant another response as well. I am glad for your success, but it really has no bearing on being a fan of UA or elevated you to a position to look down on others because they may have less or for whatever reason did not attend UA.

Defending what I said doesn't mean I care about what other people think about my passion for Alabama football. Having a defense statement is just part of a mature debate. Would you rather me not reply and it appear as if I had nothing more to say? Why not get all the facts out there and hear what everyone else has to say, including the rest of what I have to say in rebuttal. Looking down on others is something other people say to someone they want to protect other people from. If your feelings are hurt from what I said then go ahead and lets get them out on the table. Otherwise, if I didn't, then don't complain about that particular part of the discussion. Let others fight their battles for themselves.

Obviously there are more people out there that don't have a degree from Alabama that are standup guys with a prosperous lifestyle. You're a minority and I wasn't particularly calling you out. I thought that was implied when I said wal mart, t shirt, or sidewalk fans. If you wear awl mart shite, then good for you. I don't shop there and I feel higher quality of things fits me better. If you do then whatever, there is a certain class of people who get grouped into the disgraced Alabama fans category. You can usually find them in trailer parks, run down neighborhoods, wal mart, and working a minimum wage job.
