re: A few remarks regarding the University of Alabama fanbase

Cool story. Sounds familiar too. Same reason most visiting fans are usually one or two and done on visits to the Grove. All that tailgating hype and all the faux displays of wealth by a fanbase that thinks it has the collective buying power of Park Avenue instead of closer to the neighorhood of Afghanistan where it truly resides. Decorating your tailgate spread with white tablecloths and chandeliers doesn't change the fact that the spread consists of trays of Wal Mart food. The suspenders, red suits, and sundresses don't mask the fact that there is an equally large redneck element on any givend gameday in Oxford. The difference is that the rednecks in Tuscaloosa don't delude themselves in to thinking they are high society and better than everyone else like the ones in Oxford do.
