Are we counting mugshots of people wearing Auburn shirts? Surveillance footage of people wearing Auburn hats? Or is this specifically limited to post Auburn game antics?


I think he means acts committed in the name of fandom, not just fans who are criminals

I don't see Alabama fans posting this crap to feel better about themselves. I have been to every school in the SEC on gameday. (Except A&M and Mizz) Every school has drunk trash getting arrested. If you want A name Terry Henely. Former Auburn player stalking young men getting VIN# and plate numbers. He and his wife.

So if we were more successful, we'd have more drunk mom's tackle college kids, more washed up psychotic cops poison trees, and more ghetto women shoot each other after losses?

Poncho Villa can't seem to get Bama's penis out if his mouth. Pathetic.

Again, how is that related to fandom?

Auburn fans just don't conflate 'fandom' with 'needing to put other fanbases down.' Alabama fans do. Check the comments of any Auburn article on AL.com, Facebook feeds, blogs, etc... it's not enough to win, they haven't 'won' until they've shoved it down your throat.

Insecurity in action.

Yes, the high incidence of gross obesity in the bammer fanbase is a well-known fact.

Winning championships is no longer considered success or are you just a bitter Alabama fan?

From user "tkane311":

quote:

I'm going to sum this up....going to answer the question of why it is that this shite keeps happening with Bama fans...no it is not an illusion...no, saying "everyone has their crazy fans" does not even begin to cover or explain what has happened and what continues to happen at the hands of Bama fans. Yes they are different...yes they are worse. This is my psychological report on Bammers...take it FWIW

First, the vast majority of Bama fans are no different than me or you. Their experience as a fan is different...their feelings about winning is different: Jay Barker last year said "most Bama fans don't even enjoy winning anymore...we are just afraid of losing". But probably 75-90% of Bama fans are no different than the rest of us.

Here is where things diverge. Many people are weak...many people are weak, a-hole douchebags...many people are losers. When those factors come together...they try to find methods of self-affirmation. Things that make them feel less like a douchebag, less like a loser...and considering they are actually losers, they need to lean on something that is 1. likely to succeed 2. Something that they have no affect on and can't screw up. This is where being a Bama fan comes in. If you didn't grow up where being a Bama fan was no more of a choice than being your sex or race, you had to choose. Many choose for the reasons above. Now, there are a-hole, loser douchebags that choose to be Auburn fans...but the vast majority of ours just grew up as Auburn fans...because at an incredibly overwhelming rate, a-hole, loser douchebags choose to be Bama fans. It is the easiest "winning" decision they'll ever make. All they have to say is "I'm a Bama fan", and boom, in their mind, they are a winner. You hear these people call into talk radio shows and say something like "Hey Paul thanks for having me...first off, I'm a Bama fan", and they always pause for affect as if they are waiting to be congratulated.

Take Harvey Updyke...perfect example. Loser, weak, a-hole douche...lives in Texas. Has NO connection to Alabama whatsoever. Sees Alabama winning Nat'l Championship after another and decides to be a Bama fan...then decides to MOVE to Alabama to be closer to Alabama. He chose it for the reasons above. He probably made similar decisions throughout his life. There is no doubt that he became a cop for self-affirmation...so that he could have authority and boss people around and feel tough with a gun on his hip.

Any more text and no one will read this so I'll leave it with just this last thought. It takes a certain degree of mental toughness to be a Mississippi State fan...or Vandy...or UGA under Richt...or Auburn being little bro in the state....pretty much everyone in the SEC has lower chance, perhaps SUBSTANTIALLY lower chance of winning it all in any given season...so it can be tough. Bama is the easiest CHOICE in the country, let alone in the SEC. No one will let you down less often..so if you are an a-hole, loser douchebag, and you need self-affirmation that you can't, as a loser, frick up yourself, you are going to choose Bama.

It sucks for you good Bama fans. Some of my favorite people on Earth are Bama fans...and I'm sure that you grew up without much of a choice, family wise, or chose Bama for the right reasons. The fact of the matter though is that the scum of the Earth is going to choose to be Bama fans 9 out of 10 times...that's why Bama continues to have incidences like this.

If it's not post game or related to football then it must be an event that they scream war eagle in. Just like we don't care when a guy gets arrested and he happens to support bama. We only care if he gets arrested and then yells roll tide before getting in the police vehicle.

You missed something important.

Everything we're talking about re: idiot Bama fans is done in the context of fandom. He wasn't doing those awful things for the glory of Auburn, but Updyke certainly was doing it for the glory of Alabama. There's a difference.
