re: Rolling The Tide | America's most embarrassing fan base and their stories

Look all of us are more obsessed with college football than the average person-- hell, we're on a college football forum year round and if you really look at it our almost stalker like focus on the decisions of high schoolers it's kind of creepy. And yet, Bama fans somehow take it to another level- where as a loss for a normal fan might ruin a weekend or taint a season for a Bama fan it corrupts their lives. A significant portion of the Alabama fan base has nothing in their life that goes well but the football they watch on Saturday -- to them Saban is like an Iman is to one of those poor guys who grows up in the mountains of Afghanistan-- the one person who speaks the truth and promises a better life, they really and truly live by proxy through the team. Sure, objectively it's sad, but it's all they have and you can see it in the defense some of the Bammers have put up here with highlight reel clips and the like.
