re: Serious question for LSU fans.

I never realized how arrogant and closed minded Alabama fans were, until I moved to Nashville(tons of Bama fans here)and they think they invented football. What is funny they were not seen much until this season and they are everywhere. It is sickening!

One of the many things I can't stand about bama is how many time can one team "be back" in a ten year period!!!

my best friend is a bama fan...so thats the only reason i dislike bama..

I won't use the word "hate" but my "dislike" for Bama goes back to the 70's when they ruined so many good seasons of ours. And when you consider all the crooks and flakes in coaching who were Bryant proteges it makes one wonder what kind of values he was espousing all those years.

As for as the Sugar Bowl I'm ambivalent. Hated to see an SEC team lose to a MWC team but there is some consolation knowing Bama is in misery.

As a kid I remember them committing some very flagrant penalties and never being called for them. They still get away with more than anyone else, but nothing like they did in the 70's.

I didn't hate Bama fans til last night, when I went to the Sugar Bowl in an LSU shirt and was harassed. Apparently they didn't figure I was there to support the SEC. I became a Utah fan pretty fast last night.


Geaux Utes!

Several people that followed Alabama's program during the Bryant era, said My dad who was one of the biggest Bryant fans ever, had a home museum of "Da Bear". Said the road to prominence was during a time that there was no limit on scholarships, he was able to have depth like no other because of that. His name was enough to get talent from most any state, and he picked and chose his schedule so he never had to play someone outside his conference that may have been capable of beating him. He would just flat out refuse..From the movie about him at A&M he obviously was an abusive man to players and in his last 10 years he became extremely arrogant to media & in interviews; and he was know to be a alcoholic. So, now that Bama has to follow all the rules of NCAA and without the Legend they call Bear, and all the perks that went with that in recruiting, makes Bama like the rest of us playing on somewhat of an even playing field. There will never be dominance of a team in college football again. Too many good players, too many excellent coaches, great schools and a whole new world of college football that an athelete can find the program that suits him best, and if good enough he will be able to get to the NFL....That being said Saban has nothing on all the other coaches in the country, every college has the opportunity to be a champion in any conference. GEAUX TIGERS.

You'll notice that once again a non-Bama fan brings up Coach Bryant. But Bear is dead and we should let him go, right?

Well, I mean if your Dad said it, it must be true. This is such a bogus talking point that is constantly brought up. It's not like scholarships were limited by all teams except Alabama. Everyone had the same opportunity and played under the same rules. This point never makes sense.

These Bryant rants always reveal some ignorance. But the truth gets lost when you say the same thing over and over, and you all stick to the same script. It looks likes what it is, a petty attempt to discredit past accomplishments by a rival. So then some Bama fan call your transparent jealousy what it is, and then you call us arrogant and and it goes back and forth. It's a viscious cycle. Bottom line is that a true fan of SEC football would and should know that regardless of what you think, Coach Bryant really only did good to further the entire SEC conference, and was BELOVED by his players and coaches. They would have laid down in traffic for him. But somehow that makes him a bad guy.

vitriol is severe criticism.BAYOU DAVE

I think I know the truth, but my question is do you hate Alabama the school and it's alumni, Alabama fans, or Alabama's coach? And what are your reasons?

Hate is too strong of a word, but my answer is most Alabama fans.

Speaking of SEC fans sticking together. There were many, if not the majority, of Bama fans pulling against LSU in the Peach Bowl & the national title game last year. Pay back's a son of a bitch!
