Oh, and we are all really good looking.

They hadn't built the dorms behind right field yet, they were re-bricking Lowder, and other stuff the last time I was there

Alabama:
Fans - We have a bunch of idiot fans. We have a bunch of fans that are football only fans and don't care about the University or any other athletic teams. We can have unrealistic expectations. I could go on....
Stadium - I like BDS, but I think they over expanded it. It's not really a complaint though, as I refuse to buy into Tide Pride and I can almost always find tickets on game day for near face value. There is a ton of artificial demand for tickets.
Team - Nothing to really criticize here.
Coaching - Not a whole lot here, though I think Saban can sometimes be too stubborn to abandon something offensively that may not be working in a particular game. Texas A&M in 2012 comes to mind when we were running almost at will yet we kept throwing the ball.

This isn't specific just to USC, but the "overrated" chant is pretty stupid. Makes fans sound childish and takes credit away from beating a good team.

Right! If you beat a team, dont call them overrated bec you just diminished the win.

Perhaps our students have become too accustomed to our dominance at Williams Brice and now depart too early for drinking and other shenanigans?

Speaking of, I HATE the S-E-C chant with the intensity of 1,000 burning suns.

Agreed 10000%. It's stupid and should be banned immediately.

The inverse of this can be said for us too.
Both Alabama and Auburn have a significant contingent of fans that are happier to see their rival fail than their own team succeed.
As far as the football team goes, there's not very much. I agree that Saban sometimes seems to stubborn to change based on game situations. In addition to the previously mentioned TAMU 2012, running wide or a short crossing pattern on any number of 3rd or 4th downs wins the 2013 Iron Bowl. I'm also waiting to be shown that the Kiffin hire was a good idea. The only thing that I fully and completely disagree on was letting DJ Pettway return.

Every team with a true rival has these types of fans.
Its ridiculous to rather have a rival team lose than your team win. Those ppl are just miserable humans.

Technically, it is poor grammar.

THIS! I wear LSU shirts, not SEC shirts. Fans of other teams will say the same about their team. I'll never understand the SEC chant or cheering for a team that recruits against your team.

I like how much non-SEC schools, especially the most arrogant ones, hate it more.

4. Les Miles can make inexplicable coaching decisions at times. So, even though things might be going well, I am always wondering if something stupid is about to happen. And, I am a big Les Miles fan and am happy we have him.

And all God's people said Amen. I can honestly say that I have never chanted S-E-C before, during, or after a game. I do not care if teams like Bama, LSU, Auburn, or UF win the national championship because the University of Georgia is sitting at home in all of those situations. I don't have to cheer for other teams in the conference, or the conference as a whole to prove it is the best. Everyone knows the SEC is the best conference and it's a joke when people cheer for the SEC as a way to make up for their own team's shortcomings.

Our stupid idiot fans that have never stepped on campus and make us look stupid as a fan base.
