The athletic success of 18-22 year olds that attend the same University that I graduated from does not validate my existence.

I gave you a good one on page 1 with two links, FYI. Alabama fan stabs fraternity kids after yelling roll tide, then at trial, tries to bribe a mentally handicapped kid to take the fall.

Yeah read the second link. It's from Alabama's bleacher report page, but it's a good read about how fricked up that situation was.

I really hope we sticky this thread for forever.

Pettifogger's link is to one of their brightest moments.

It's buried in there. Thanks for your efforts here, they're truly a show of courage to us all.

Gotta admit that's pretty awesome

Case in point, though, is the simple fact that Alabama has one of the largest fan bases in the country. I'm sure the number exceeds two million.
You have provided 9 examples, oh which:
That’s the claim, but honestly I doubt it had anything to do with the football game.
You don’t know that this guy is a Bama fan. He could simply be a person trying to start a fight, and figured yelling out the cheer of the team that played Smear the Zach last season would be a fight starter.
Not to mention you got it wrong anyway – the guy he was with punched Zach, not the guy who yelled “Roll Tide”.
Okay, and? He was wearing Alabama pants too.
You might want to remove this one, considering the LSU fan threatened him with a pistol first. I wasn’t aware that defending yourself was “embarrassing.”
The dad was upset about the loss, but probably more upset that the kid had wrecked “several” vehicles already. That doesn't make it okay by any stretch of reasoning, but you are most likely connecting the wrong dots.
So, what – 7 out of 2 million? The most successful team of the past 6 years has attracted some nut jobs in an age of super saturation of media and news? If you want to focus on the .00035 % of fans as an indicator of “the majority”, then clearly math is not a subject of focus where you’re from.
I will concede that perhaps we have a “higher” percentage of nutjob fans, but these could easily be bandwagon fans who jumped on the bus when we started winning. I didn’t exactly take a survey of fans during the Shula years to verify who the real fans are, and I sincerely doubt you’re sitting on that data as well. My point is, I am not going to be embarrassed by the actions of an ultra-tiny minority because you tell me I should. If it makes you feel better about the crappiness of the occasional fan that pops up from your teams, then that is a lot more telling of you as an individual than this thread is an indicator of the Alabama fan base as a whole.

You probably spent more time defending those idiots than I did linking them.
