Yes, I do agree that some Bama fans live out colleges football. It can affect their way of life and the way they treat others. But keep in mind, it's not all Bama fans. Probably not even the majority. LSU has these types of fans and OM does as well.

I always chuckle to myself when I see so many people that get so upset. If you are not on the coaching staff or are in some way directly connected to the team, the outcome of a game should not control your life. I understand getting mad during a game when someone makes a silly mistake but having it control your life, well, is just sad...

There is no disagreement here.

The disagreement is when a guy says a particular fan-base has figured this out, where others haven't.

I know Bama fans and Auburn fans who take it way too seriously--and they are certainly, and distinctly, a small minority--or Finebaum callers. And I only mention those two because that makes up about 95% of the college fans in Alabama.

To suggest Bama and Auburn are no different than MSU/Ole Miss and LSU/??? in this regard is silly.

And that's what the OP did.

While you are correct, you're being very sensitive.

The quote at the top of the OP was made by a Bama fan so that's the direction I took. No hard feelings.

My statement was about fans in general.

Bama may stick out because of Finebaum being on satellite radio or maybe because the 30on30 that ESPN did, I really don't know.
