Alabama is far from the most hated team in America. Most hated team at your local swamp gathering perhaps.

What's your take on being the most hated program in America?

America loves underdogs...we're hated because we've been winning at a pretty historic level since 2008...kinda like the Yankees, the Cowboys, New England, and the Bulls: you usually either love 'em (fans or the bandwagon jumpers) or hate 'em (everyone else). Add to that, we're a team not only from the hated SEC, but also from the Deep South, which other parts of the country often stereotype (usually not flattering). As a fan, I'll take it 'cause if we weren't villains, pretty sure that'd mean we've been losing a lot more games.

Can only go by appearances, so I'm gonna say no...

I hate it. The opinions of strangers on message boards and in places I never visit are way more valuable to me than the joy, entertainment, and memories that come with the most dominant stretch in college football history.

Don't give a shite. People don't hate losers, they give them nicknames like "Lovable Losers". The winner in any contest doesn't care that the loser of that contest doesn't like them.

What I find amusing is on Alabama radio is the number of Bama fans that like LSU and that actually call in to the radio and state it.

I would gladly embrace the role of villain.

The sidewalk fans, on the other hand

It's great. The bandwagon crowd gets annoying. But if you're not hated, you're probably not winning.

Haters gonna hate. I don't care really, it just means we are winning, like everyone else has probably already said.

THIS. I lived through Curry, Dumbose and Shula, and every now and then I have to sit back and just enjoy the fact that I'm witnessing something that may not happen again.

Too young to remember Curry. I'm just glad I'm old enough to remember Stallings. But not growing up in Alabama, I grew up getting a lot of people talking shite about Bama. It's made those years worth it.

Comes with the territory after being on top a bunch, and when comparing it to losing or no championships won, I think Bama fans can live with all that jealously. Any fan saying they wouldn't want their favorite program to have Bama like success, is lying to themselves & everyone else. I suppsoe some will still try to find any negative spin on Bama's accomplishments. My advice, dig carefully around the eyes, ears, and mouth, while getting your head out of the sand.

Alabama is 2nd (behind Texas) in collegiate merchandise sales in the nation. That's a lot of Alabama haters buying Bama gear!
