What can be done about our crazy fans? Can ANYTHING be done? It simply can't be ignored anymore, and it's going to affect the perception of our school, if it hasn't already done so. I tried ignoring it, and brushing it off as the crazies on the fringes of our fanbase but this is getting out of hand.

Can Saban, or anyone do or say anything?

We could stop winning and loose half of those idiots, but I'm not for that.

Most people only care to publicize some stories because its a bama fan.

Lsu fans all know the teabagger but most forgot the West Virginia game where an Lsu fan was curb stomped nearly to death by a mob. Updyke is a transplant that forced his fanhood upon the people of Alabama. Many stories of other fanbases never get told because nobody gives a shite.



If its a bama fan, its news.

The whole thing with Zach Mettenburger. It's just one of the many, many examples of the crazy shite our fans do.

Remind them that Bear Bryant said everyone should act with class at all times.

While what you said is true, and I do sometimes feel as if we're being over represented , but you have to admit, some of the shite our fans do is just surreal. Like naming you kid Krymson Tide. and of course my favorite, the running of the gumps at A day.

Continue to ignore.

If something this insignificant bothers you, perhaps some counseling is in order.

Meh, we have some crazies, but they tend to be loners and they tend to get a lot of publicity if they do something. Remember back in 05 when half the lsu fanbase pelted the tennessee team bus so hard with bottles that windows were smashed?

I'm not saying this is affecting me personally, but when will enough be enough?

U do realize most SEC fans outside of UK football and VANDY have these same idiots. They are the fringe and no one should give them 1 second of attention

Other fans do that stupid shite as well, but they aren't UA fans, so you don't see them on TV.

Remember Pepper Wareagle White and her sister Whitney Tiger White?

Bama is a huge name in the CFB world, everything that relates to the program gets magnified, especially the negative. None of this will ever change. The only thing that can change is the way you deal with all the crap.

Dumbest shite ever written. So you fall into the teabagger category, rather than the tree killer one?

Nope I fall into the 6 figures, season tickets, and live in a subdivision with my wife and 5 kids category. Not the I wear tshirts that have bama on them from wal mart and play corn hole in the front of the trailer park before game time category.
