I find it interesting that this is the first post in which the poster mentions their own school as a reason why not to be a fan of Alabama.

There you gave it. The reason 91% of BAMA fans are Bama fans.

WalMart uses the same logic

Saban has no morals and is a dick

Kiffen is worse than the Peter Pan kid in the commercial

Bandwagon and Gumps are the only people that like yall and the world is better without both

Because that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

People with integrity can not be a fan of a monopoly.

because i'm a georgia fan who spent a grand making the trip to blackout 08...because i was overconfident that night. because my friends laugh.

my dad has always been an alabama fan, so i can't hate them even though i try.

i knew we were gonna get blown out by them in week 5...because we were favored...and the loss to ole miss was as impressive as a loss could be.

i'm a raiders/vikings/orioles/hornets/georgia fan...so apparently i enjoy cheering for teams that don't win titles. i know it'll be special when it happens one day.

i couldn't imagine "expecting" championships. surely that's not as much fun as i have hoping for one while my team is winning.

Something unholy is going on at Bama.


We've been trying to tell the rest of the SEC that for years, but no one listens. Meanwhile the SEC office is infested with UAT sycophants and they stack the deck. The other schools won't demand that they move to reduce Bama influence but the league has too much dirt on the other schools for that to happen. Has been that way ever since Bryant was there and now PB jr. keeps the hits coming. The REC's across the state and region do the recruit bidding and washing of money and Saban comes in for the close. He does not want to know how so he can maintain plausible deniability. Then they juice the players for that "little somethinges extra". Why else would the school pay the S&C coach that kind of hush money. Emmert and Saban are a-hole buddies so the NCAA looks the other way. Getting details on "the process" and spreading it to the press will result in you falling up the stairs. I'd say ask Logan Young, but you can't because he's dead.

What will be interesting to see play out is the discord between the Paul Bryant Jr. camp and the Saban camp. Saban has been trying to distance himself from PB jr.and discredit him because he feels they are at a level where the cheating is no longer warranted like it was in 2007-12 but Bryant doesn't want to lose influence and he is willing to do what it takes not to have that happen. Even if it means killing the golden goose. Going to be an interesting 2016 that's for damn sure.

Threads like these are why people hate Bama fans and also why nobody but Bama fans would weep if they lost by infinity points for the next hundred years.

I think some people can't take it. It's not easy being us. The expectations are high when you are a Bama fan and greatness is expected. We are expected to be at so many events throughout the year and that can take its toll. 15 games a year is expensive! Showing up at the airport when your team flies in from the natty...that's tough.

Owning your own company in Birmingham and finding the kindness in your heart to let your minimum wage guys off at noon so the can make to legion field for their tema bowl game! WTF, but we have big hearts!

Everyone is not cut out for greatness!

B/C it's fricking Alabama. I'm soooo grateful I was not born and raised in that crap hole and forced to be a fan of that school.


It could be worse. You could be born and raised in that crap hole and choose to be a fan of Auburn.
