College Football Fan Bases Most Obsessed With Their Rival

SEC has 3 in the top 10. LINK
quote:
5. Auburn: Of course Tigers fans always had an inferiority complex about Alabama, but the Tide's recent run of national championships is making things even more irritating.
The thing is, though, Auburn has actually been the one thorn on Alabama's side, having beaten the Tide twice in the past six years to derail Nick Saban's title train. This fact both emboldens and frustrates Tigers fans to no end.
quote:
6. Texas A&M: This rivalry is slowly dying, thanks to A&M's move to the SEC in 2012 to escape Texas' shadow. But even though these programs haven't faced each other in four years, Aggies fans remain obsessed with their in-state rival.
They still cheer every Texas misstep, whether it's on the field or in recruiting. And while A&M is raking in unprecedented SEC cash, Aggies fans are still forever sore about the existence of the Longhorn Network.
quote:
7. Florida: There was a time when Florida State was much more obsessed with this rivalry, even during the heyday of Bobby Bowden when the Seminoles were ascendant. But ever since the departure of Urban Meyer and the subsequent meltdown of the Will Muschamp era, it's the Gators fans who are bothered by the Noles' every move.
Florida State has won five of the past six against Florida, claimed a national championship and a Heisman Trophy during that span while the Gators continued to implode. And the Noles are punking Florida on the recruiting trail, too. No wonder this rivalry has flipped on its head.

That is a contraction. The LHN is why we were able to go to the SEC.
Article is shite.

The irony of this post, of course, is if anything you are proving the article correct by obsessing over Alabama fans.
ETA: I see some other similar posts to mine regarding other posters and their teams. This thread has a hell of a lot of potential; many will trip up when they attempt to defend their schools. Let's see how it plays out, Cotton. I do hope we see IronPuppet get involved in the action as his 'unique' perspective and mental wherewithal could really contribute to a thread for the ages.

Now that I live in Alabama, I would say that Auburn fans are definitely obsessed with Alabama. They hate Alabama and Alabama is every where in everything and shadows every aspect of life in Alabama. So, if you are an Auburn fan, I imagine it is like being an orphan at a daddy-daughter dance.

What about Clemson and USC and vice Versa? Just go read one of their boards, a good bit of the content is about the other team.
