Some will say these are fringe, fanatical fans, but the sheer number of Bama fringe fans appears to be enormous. They were bad when they were national champs, imagine the carnage if they were 7-5.
Idiot fans are nothing new to a fan base, any fan base, really.
What amazed me about Bama fans, however, is that these are individuals who are middle to upper class people that one would expect a certain degree of "class" from. That's what amazed me the most about what I saw in NOLA two years ago before and after the game.
People of both genders and ages from 12-70 who look like "you and me" that act like pure trash. I watched Senior Citizens, both male and female, cuss out LSU fans after the game, complete with the classic middle finger to the face....
But what shocked me most was their apparent social status. It's not cheap to go to a bowl game in NOLA. These were people with high socio-economical standing in their communities and they act like this.
My gosh, there was a line of people getting things signed by Harvey Updyke, taking their young kids to see him. I had to ask who the guy was because I didn't know. Having a Bama fan gush to me in front of his 9yo son about how proud a guy like HU made him was really eye-opening to me. Having his son smile back at me and say "he's going to sign my jersey!" was pretty....shite, I can't describe it. I saw my son in that kid and just shook my head.
This woman in this video....she resembles a lot of people's wives. I think this is the most difficult thing to grasp when explaining Bama fans to other people who don't get it. LOL

bama fans are a different breed.
look at the ratings for cfb games. birmingham is always near the top no matter who's playing. the people are simply insane about football.
what i find funny is that people are just starting to realize just how sick some of their fans are. this has been going on for years.

In fairness, I will say this: people come to New Orleans and act in ways they'd never act at home. Ways they won't tell the folks back home about because they'd be ashamed to. You can see it in the FQ on any given weekend the Saints are hosting another NFL team.
That being said, Bama fans are still a special breed of crazy. It's just football, for crying out loud.

It was the "perfect storm" putting Gooner fans in the same space as Gump fans!!! Throw in alcohol and let natural selection take place!!!
We should schedule this game every year, thin the herd...drain the shallow end of the gene pool...

You make a good point. It's not just knuckle dragging inbreds who are acting insane. My best friend, who is a doctor, married a girl who graduated from Bama in the 90's and admits never attending a football game. Now she posts the vilest, venomous crap on her Facebook page about other teams, ( especially LSU), fans, etc. It's like some kind of virus has infected an otherwise normal person with rage. One day I will hear that she got her arse kicked in the Walmart parking lot by an LSU fan.
