I have never felt that any teams "hate" us other than Auburn, Tennessee, and LSU....all for understandable reasons.

I have noticed that, all over the country actually, people either love Alabama, or hate us. There really is no in between unless its just someone that doesnt give a flipping shite about sports in the first place.

It's just jealously. Alabama is on the verge of a dynasty with Nick Saban at the helm. Rival fans are upset and can't take it.

It will be hard to keep this short, Bama fans are just godawful jerks. I worked in Alabama for decades, met many good people, most were Bama fans. This never stood in the way of our working together or our freindly rivalry, but when Bama wins anything, the fan base goes into middleschool hormone jumping fits. It seems that the fans wait for this and a great revealing of the pomposity and pettiness the fans unleash on the oppositions and everyone in general is spilled out. AND it just doesn't end, it is similar to having a spouse who does not know when the argument has ended, whether they won or not, still arguin. That is why I would rather see Bama lose and the fans feel low that see them win.

It's always been obvious to me why other fanbases hate us. The simple answer is because we expect to win. But it's really not that simple.

It's because no matter how bad our team is, we still expect to win. When we're down by 20 in the 4th quarter we still expect to win. And when we do pull out an upset that no one but us thought was possible, when we've pulled ahead on a last second score or forced an unbelievable turnover at just the right moment, we don't wipe the sweat off our faces and say "Damn that was close," instead we say "I never doubted it for a second."

Every fanbase has their idiots who poison trees, or burn coaches in effigy, or throw balloons filled with piss, or prank call the opposing quarterbacks. We don't have a monopoly on jackasses, but what you guys really hate is that no matter what happens you can never erase the absolute belief in our hearts that Alabama will win every game we play.

It’s not the football program, it’s that most of their fans are:
Arrogant, conceded, egotistic, bigheaded, self-centered, narcissistic, self-absorbed, and just plain assholes. That was the sugarcoated version.

I don't hate Bama. When we beat them 2 years ago I was thrilled because they are an elite level CFB team and it's nice to know the OBC has gotten us to a level where we, as fans, don't go into games knowing it will be a bloodbath (aka the 90s-2000). When we beat Bama under Shula, it was nice because we hadn't had any success against them, but I didn't really think it was the end all be all because Bama wasn't really an elite level team at that time.

Of course, some of the hanger on fans who didn't go to school there are crazy, but I don't think there are many schools in the SEC who don't have those.

Is it because Bama is just better than your team or are you jealous of the success of the program? Or...is it because we got your coach and the 2 out of the 3 last national titles could've been yours? Just wondering why everyone is hatin on the champs, TIA.

We don't hate your university, your players, your coaches, your athletic programs, your football team, or your traditions. At least I don't.
What I do hate is what some of you DO and SAY....
Some of you MAKE UP shite that nauseates me.


W in TF would we be 'jealous' of Alabama ???
You people have only beaten us 4 times this CENTURY. Four.
We've only lost to you people in Bryant-Denny """"""ONCE"""""" this CENTURY....
Also LSU is in the top 12 in number of NCAA football victories, and #8 in bowl games, and has more stadium, fan, band, and tailgating mystique tradition than Alabama. BD does not compare to Death Valley. TGBFTL outclasses your band. LSU tailgating is the best on the planet.
Alabama is not that far ahead of us. They are only like #7 or #8 in number of victories! We are # TWELVE. Not FIFTY...TWELFTH....

I do hate a lot of your fans for not having a fricking clue on how to handle "the success of your program."
I also hate the very low class "cheer" you people scream after each victory. That is about the most monumentally disgustingly ""UN"" sportsmanlike act I have ever seen in my life.
I also hate the way everything on the planet somehow relates to Alsahama football and somehow must be 'acknowledged' by everyone else on the planet, or you people get pissy.
Contrary to popular belief, EVERYTHING is not about fricking Alashama.

Also, I did HATE that CBS gave Saban a forum to lobby for his team in the broadcast booth during the 2011 SECCG. Why did they not allow Gundy to be there also? Why just Saban?
Also, Saban voted Oklahoma State FOURTH. FOURTH !!!
Now what reason would he have to vote the Big 10 champion FOURTH ???? A team that had a MUCH stronger body of work than 'Shama.
And some of the BCS human poll voters and coaches voted OSU 5th or 6th !! If just that small faction of incompetents had voted OSU 3rd, not 2nd, but 3rd - OKLAHOMA STATE would have been in the Dome Jan. 9, not the Mulligumps.

Speaking of your coach. It is blind luck that he is in Tuscaloosa. He would have accepted any big school job opening if it would have been open.
He didn't "choose" Alabama, he accpeted it by default, because it was the only job open.

We are the only reason he is even """" I N """""
Tuscaloosa...

His character is very poor IMO. "I keep telling you, I am not going to be the next head coach at Alabama." And saying he is quitting the Dolphins over the intercom to his Assistant Coaches ?????????? Wowwwww....

Oklahoma State played more ranked teams than Alashama, WON their conference championship, and beat the everloving tar out of the former #1 Oklahoma Sooners to go 12-1.
They should have been in the game, not Alashama.

I just fervently hope to Christ I can shriek......
"Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy Taaaaaaaaaaahd, we just beat da hell outta YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !!!" on Nov 3 at your 'classy' fans....just like you people do!
And see how if effing feels.....


All that said, I actually do have a couple of Bama friends. They ain't all bad

In the end it looks like they got it right. What they got wrong was LSU being number 1. 1/9 made it crystal clear who the better team was. Oh... but it's not fair

You've got to let it go, bud.

LSU won game 1. Alabama won game 2. It just so happens game 1 was for the conference title, and game 2 was for the national title. It sucks, but that's life.

No one knows what would have happened if a game 3 was played, but it's over and it's time for next season.

I thought it was the other way around, that even if everybody had voted okie st 3rd they still wouldn't have jumped Bama.

Had all the voters who placed Alabama and Oklahoma State lower than third simply ranked them third instead, the final BCS standings would have been:

Coaches' Harris Comp. Avg.

Bama 0.948475 0.947826 0.93 0.9421
OSU 0.931525 0.932174 0.95 0.9379

The margin sank, but it was not enough to make the difference.

Arrogant and entitled fan base, 90 percent of whom did not go to college. The fact that your fan base actually thinks you have won 14 NCs is enough to hate you. Really, all around your fan base just sucks.
