What makes you think non-Bama fans give a shite about how Bama fans feel? Trust me, that is pretty low on our list of salient concerns. Thanks and please stop making threads like this.

Bama fans overestimate the “esteem” of being the last college football factory
Bama is hardly the last football factory. They are just the most productive and I think you underestimate the esteem that comes with it.

Even Nick Saban contributes to the lunacy by comparing losing a football game to the Pearl Harbor and 911 tragedies when thousands of Americans lost their lives.
He was making the point that sometimes you have to persevere through hardships. He wasn't literally saying that losing a game was anywhere near the level of those tragedies and not a single Alabama fan that I know took it that way. The lunacy came when rival fans took him literally. It was pretty idiotic. Still is by the way.

Also the University of Alabama’s misplaced priorities of gold-plated football ...
...said every fan of a football program that loses to Alabama...
This is also the exact attitude of every yankee alumni of some obscure liberal-arts college (aka: job-training-for-coffee-shop-employees). You know... those weird little schools that no one has heard much about but think themselves as being gold-plated? You know, those schools who's graduates are enraged that the news media doesn't give a shite about them ... except when one of their bizarre-o strange professors makes some transgender declaration, or bashes Christianity, or declares for ISIS or something ...
Woodrow, that was a truly delicious melt and i'll award an up vote for a good laugh at a dum-arse yankee who wouldn't know a mis-place priority from a metro-sexual hipster testosterone level that was missing a few digits.
However it is true that many fraternities at the Capstone still will not pledge Yankees. After reading your entertaining screed, can you blame them? Just for you, "Roll Tide," and here's to it echoing through eternity in a rented space within your rustled brain.
By the way.. that little essay was about a pedestrian and cliché ridden as anything I've ever graded. You get a D- for the project. Try again.

"Sports are a great distraction from life issues."
This is probably what he means. The joy one gets when his team excels and wins is a great rest from reality but life goes, win or lose.

To be a winner is a mighty pleasurable thing - and to be the GOAT is a joy that is indescribable - but I will continue to try. Roll on Glorious Tide Roll!
Sure, for the players and coaches. Anyone can choose to be a fan of Alabama football. Heck, it's easy for many to jump on the bandwagon. Sure, watching your team win it all is great fun, but in no way does it allow you to claim that you are the "GOAT." You merely witnessed greatness on the field, and can take pleasure in supporting that team to some degree.
I just can't understand this self validation that people need to feel through their favorite team. My family has supported LSU for three generations in both academics and athletics. The university feels as much a part of my heritage as any of our other family traditions. LSU has won many championships in sports, but none of that means as much as the memories I've had watching and discussing these teams with my family. Those championships are icing on the cake, but I don't need them to feel like a winner in life.

That's how LSU fans feel about baseball, no matter what happens, things will work out well.

We always feel that about football as well. And add
baseball, golf, track and field, gymnastics, softball. Hopefully basketball too..

You have 27,475 posts on a college football message board. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but you cannot tell someone they care too much.

I don't think fans realize that players think of them as idiot jock sniffers. You are not part of the team, you are an idol worshiper.

12thFairway, whenever I think of bama fans, which is honestly not very often if at all, the first that comes to mind are Paul Finebaum, the lady who shot her friend during an argument over a bama game, the tree poisoner & the bama sex pervert. Beyond that, as a life long LSU fan, I get over a loss or come down from a win every Sunday morning when my autistic son asks me to go outside & toss the football with him. You seriously need to get a life.
