The best way to describe Alabama fans is that they are uniquely homogeneous in comparison to other fanbases. That is, if you've met one of them, the other 99.9% are likely the exact same way. Notice I didn't use the term 'gumps' as that is reserved for members of this group, just the most extreme examples.
But overall, what you usually get is a product of their upbringing. There is nothing else in that state to get excited about but Alabama football. No pro sports teams to speak of, no culture outside of what they know. Alabama fans act as if they live on an island in the middle of civilized society, ignoring the society outside their realm.
They would make for a great subject for some psych study without a doubt though I'm sure that's been at least attempted before.
A interesting group, seemingly devoid of the social skills exhibited by the majority of the people surrounding them.
