Where are you from? Approximate age? Alum or if not what made you an Alabama fan?
I'm from SW Alabama and graduated from one of the satellite schools. Mid to late 20s range. Too many weirdos to be giving out personal info imo

Piedmont, AL
Pretty old
Been a Bama fan since I could walk, I guess.
Have black and white photos of me as a kid in Bama jerseys.
Lived in the ATL from age 8-19.
Moved to Fl, went to and graduated from UF.
Saw Bama beat UF 40-0 in ‘79, was the only person in Bama gear in the student section. Was mesmerized that day by The Bear, a great man.
I’m proof that “once a Gator, always a Gator” is a damnable lie.
Sat on the 50 yard line in alumni section to see FL beat Bama 35-0 in ‘91; the last loss before they went on their NC run in ‘92. I hated Spurrier that night.
Married to a Gator, her family is nothing but Gators.
Four kids, oldest graduated from UF and is an engineer in south Fl.
Looking forward to retirement.

Aight, let's do this ...
I was born a poor, white man, atop sand mountain alabama. My daughter tells me it was 44 years ago, but I was sure it was only 42. Either way, I suppose I was actually born down in the coosa river valley at the hospital, but I was driven up on sand mountain shortly thereafter.
My dad was an Auburn fan and my mom cheered for cocker spaniels. At the age of 5 my dad got me an Auburn shirt and shorts. Not being one that likes to be told, I was then cemented a Bama fan. I think I'd already seen enough Bear Bryant on tv that I knew Auburn was second class anyway.
Anyway, I grew up in the woods, catching snakes and shooting stuff. We moved a couple of times, to south AL and MS, but ended up back on sand mountain for my senior year of high school. After a stint at Gadsden State, I followed a girl to UAH.
I've lived in huntsville for the past 20 something years, but just recently moved to the Shoals area, although I still work in huntsville.

I’m one of the few ladies on the board. I’ve always been a Bama fan. I’m even in a couple of Corollas as a toddler from the late 70’s - perks of an uncle being on the yearbook staff.
I live on the coast now, married, 2 kids. Blah blah blah.

Bear88, my college roommate is from New Hope and I’d just about guarantee you know him. We need to talk.
LovetheLord, we might know each other IRL. We gotta chat sometime.
Sauron, you were at Samford when I was there, about the same age. We might have bumped into each other.

Originally from Prattville, but currently living in Kansas. I'm 38 and not an alum, but was in Alabama gear from birth. My Dad went to Alabama and played in
the million dollar band at the time Namath was the qb. My grandfather I believe also went there. In my family and extended family, there are zero Auburn fans as well, so no arguments at Thanksgiving...lol. I am proud to have experienced 7 National Championships in my lifetime and looking forward to at least 7 more!

Don’t do it. Those clowns on the OT will doxx you if you give up information about yourself.

Phil, I would almost bet money we've played baseball against each other back in the day.

Our new offensive coordinator's backstory: quote:
Just found out Bill O'Brien has a son with Lissencephaly, a rare brain disorder. Sorry if this is old news but it’s new to me: Houston chronicle article ...
Also, ESPN did a 30 for 30 about it called "You don't know Jack".

Dad is from Anniston, moved to Birmingham when he was 18. Met my mom(from Shelby, MS and went to Ole Miss) there years later and got married 3 weeks later.
Boss relocated my mom(my dad worked at the same company) when he found out they were married and pregnant with me.
I was born in Lakeland, Florida and there was no way my dad was going to let me be an Ole Miss fan
