it is a testament to the level Bama football has reached, it is.


You don't get it.

It's sorta like this:

AU fans have ALWAYS said or thought we are better than bama fans as a fanbase and it isn't even close. Bama fans would respond with there isn't much difference between the two fanbases. That should tell you something right there. A bama fan just wants to be compared to an AU fan while an AU fan does not want to be associated with the bama fanbase in general.

Most AU fans have always laughed and said bullshite, there is a world of difference between the two fanbases. This has been going on forever. I remember as a kid growing up in the late 80's it was the same.

AU fan: We are nothing like you.
Bama fan: There isn't much difference between the fanbases.

AU fan: Most of your fanbase is made up of people that have never set foot in a classroom in Tuscaloosa and a lot of them don't give a shite about the University.
Bama fan: Everyone has their crazies, we are no different than anyone else.

AU fan: bullshite.

Everyone lumps the two together because you are in the same state

I believe I get it. The fact that anyone cares whether strangers are "better" based on football fandom indicates a certain insecurity and lack of reasoning. It would be the equivalent of someone finding a small group of people in a fanbase who are doing philanthropic work and use it to assert that that fanbase is better. That would be as absurd as your assertion about AU/Bama fans and how becoming a fan of one school or the other magically transforms one into better/worse depending on which school is chosen. People who believe it are people who want to believe it because it bolsters their football self-esteem. I guess if it imparts some positive feeling about themselves or their football team it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
