Of course, none of them nor their immediate family members have any affiliation with the University. As a matter of fact, I don't know if 10% of the people I've met in Mobile have even gone to ANY type of college/university.

Can you get this guy

Mobile can be a bit of a melting pot as well, due to its location on the Gulf Coast. It's also a major port and the growing aerospace and steel industry bring people from all over. I still think the OP is hanging out in the shipyards and being made fun of by the local good-ole-boys.

You probably need to analyze a little deeper about why you have the issues that you do.

I think it's just because I have to live in Alabama until April

You and AlaTiger should talk. You both have serious issues with living in Alabama.

A lot, One thought he made fun of me yesterday at my job. He saw me studying for my final, and asked where I went to school, I said "Arkansas." He replied with "oh, I am sorry."

I responded with did you go to college? He says "no." My response, "so you're going to make fun of me going to Arkansas and you didn't even go to college yet you have on an Alabama shirt? Think about how that sounds."

He said "yea whatever" and walked out.





Sounds like some bullshite, don't worry we don't think you're cool.

give him the benfit of the doubt. he's just a product of a historically, irrelevant football program that doesn't understand everything that long term success brings to a school. all big time football schools have sidewalk/subway fans. glad socar doesn't have to worry about that...

There are 2 types of Alabama fans.

1) Fans of Alabama football
2) Fans of the university

The latter are a much cooler group to be around.

Is it me, or does anyone else find his name and location ironic?

Nah, it's not as bad as I make it out to be. Mobile is close enough to nice beaches, and New Orleans so I can get away for a nice weekend trip a couple times a month.

I keep my mouth shut and don't say much unless someone gives me a reason too. Plus, I have roughly 8 days of work left there before I ship off back to school so I am not really worried about it.

I was worried I wouldn't be cool anymore.

Yeah you can, but since Alabama has the richest history in the conference, the fans of just the football program (most likely the cocky sidewalk alumni the OP is referring to.) are more likely to outnumber fans of the other schools and be more spread around the area. At least IMO.

That answers your own question then. If I went to backwoods South Carolina, I would probably get a few looks if I ran my mouth. Did you expect 90% of laborers, running around in a shipyard, to be college graduates?

1. I don't run my mouth, unless wearing USC clothing = shite talking.
2. Backwoods South Carolina? You do realize Columbia is the Capital City, right? I think you have us mistaken for the cow pastures of Clemson

It sounds like you need to hang out with a better crowd.

I agree with this. Actually 99% of my friends who pull for Bama did not go to school there, but went to other smaller universities or colleges.

Sidewalk City!!
