Your state just ratified the 15th Amendment. You live in Mississippi. Even if your theories were correct - and they aren't - you'd have no room to talk about the miseries of life.

I've pretty much nailed everyone of you motherfrickers today through very little effort of my own.

You started a thread in a sad attempt to convince yourself that being a fan of Ole Miss is better than being a fan of Bama. Any rationale person would laugh at the mere thought of that.

Explain to me why being a Bama fan is better than being an Ole Miss fan. I've explained my case. You just showed up like a jackass calling me names.

That's like me trying to explain to you why a BMW is better than a Kia.
ETA: But you'd probably stupidly argue that a Kia is better because you don't have to worry about scratches or something.

I don't handle anything with "swag". I don't even feel like a grown man should use the word without laughing.

Better school, better football program, and grads make more money. That's not a knock on Ole Miss either. I just thought I'd answer the question since you asked.

What does being a grad have to do with being a Bama fan? We're all SIDEWALKERS!

Ok. Maybe if bama lost more you'd realize that you're fat, balding , unemployed and let a game, played by kids , determine your sense of self worth.

I can definitely see what the OP is saying (obviously anybody who sees how many people live and breathe Bama football can see it to an extent). I went to Bama for their accounting program. Fortunately for me, as an avid fan of a number of sports, especially basketball, baseball, golf and football (having played them growing up), Alabama had (and has) great athletic programs to support. While I admit that losing, especially when I expect to win, can put me in a sour mood for a few hours, it doesn't really affect my life.
I think the whole concept of being "too emotionally invested", while true for a number of hardcore (mostly sidewalk) fans, is a bit overblown though. For me the level of emotional investment in athletic programs is limited and typically only tied to expectations. I love Bama basketball, but I don't get pissed when we lose to Kentucky because I don't expect us to be on their level consistently based on a number of factors. However, if Bama loses to any team they realistically could or should beat, it's disappointing, but mostly just because I want the school to succeed at everything.
It's not a whole lot different than my golf hobby, or playing basketball, etc. I'm a 10 handicap, so if I shoot an 82 I don't get as upset as I would if I shot a 92. Really the only difference between that and Bama sports is that I can do a whole lot more to improve my golf game than I can to improve Bama's secondary.

Your timing is to be commended.
